Cellulite develops in a series of steps caused by damage to our lymphatic drainage system due to poor diet and digestion, lack of sufficient protein in the diet, lack of exercise, accumulation of toxins, repeated weight loss/gain, hormone imbalance, aging and/or a toxic liver. Free radicals, created by the stagnant flow of lymph, cause damage to surrounding capillaries, veins and connective tissue reducing the blood flow, oxygen and nutrition to cells in the surrounding area. Fat cells are then pulled in different directions and cluster together causing collagen and connective tissue to distort. As a result, fat and ?fiber accumulate where they should not, creating the unsightly ‘orangepeel’ effect. According to the American Skincare and Cellulite Expert Association, approximately 90 percent of women over age 20, display cellulite to some degree (see ‘pinch test’). Now there is help. Alpha-Cell targets the digestion, lack of sufficient protein in the exit the fat cell and enter the bloodstream to be burned by lipidic metabolism.
