WHY:        Americans are getting heavier and wider...approximately
            127 million U.S. adults are overweight, with 60 million
            obese, and 9 million severely obese...and the numbers are
            increasing (according to the
            American Obesity Association).  Now more than ever,
            consumers seem confused about how to successfully achieve
            long-lasting, healthy weight loss.  As a premier marketer
            and manufacturer of nationally branded, science-based,
            natural nutritional supplements, Natrol supports sensible
            supplementation for natural and healthy weight-loss.
            Natrol also recommends a regular exercise program and a
            reduced-calorie diet to promote up to an average of two
            pounds of weight loss per week (this is considered healthy
            weight loss by health and medical professionals).
