Phyto Slim™

Maintaining a healthy weight is important for overall well-being. Being underweight, overweight, or living with obesity can increase the risk of various health concerns.

Approximately two-thirds of adults in the United States are overweight or obese. Achieving a healthy weight can help manage cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar. It could also help prevent weight-related diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and some types of cancer. Overindulging or not being physically active will make a person obese in most cases. To maintain an appropriate weight, calorie intake should be equal to energy burned. A weight-control strategy may include:

  • Choosing low-fat and low-calorie foods
• Smaller portions on the plate
• Avoiding sugary drinks (soda and juices)
• Physical activity
• Safe and natural weight loss supplements

Phyto Slim™ has been formulated to promote rapid weight loss and increase energy. It is a combination of seven effective ingredients.

Ingredients

Garcinia cambogia is a fruit commonly grown in India and Southeast Asia. The rind of the fruit contains a chemical called hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which is believed to be responsible for the plant’s weight-loss benefits. HCA has been studied for its effects on appetite suppression, with several studies showing positive results when taken for several months.

Green coffee bean is a rich source of antioxidants, including several polyphenols. One of the most abundant is chlorogenic acid (CGA), which has been studied for its potential role in weight management. In a 2008 article published in the Journal of Nutrition, researchers found that green coffee bean extract contains caffeoylquinic acids and dicaffeoylquinic acids, the primary chlorogenic acids that may act as natural weight loss agents and fat burners.

Kola nuts grow on kola trees, native to tropical rainforests in Africa. Traditionally chewed for their natural stimulating effects, kola nuts contain caffeine and other naturally occurring compounds such as theobromine. Theobromine is believed to stimulate thermogenesis, the process by which the body burns calories to produce heat. Their caffeine content may help promote energy, increase alertness, and support the body’s natural calorie-burning processes.

Several studies have demonstrated that consuming green tea extract may influence energy metabolism, body weight, and body fat content. Clinical studies conducted in the United States have shown that catechins, including EGCG, may affect weight loss and influence body fat distribution. These studies were first conducted in vitro (in test tubes) and in mice, and were later followed by human trials. The studies concluded that consistent, high doses of catechins can be effective in promoting weight loss, increasing energy metabolism, and helping maintain weight loss. In 2009, researchers in the Netherlands also found that catechins significantly decreased body weight and maintained body weight after a period of weight loss.

One of the primary active ingredients is caffeine anhydrous, a concentrated form of caffeine. Caffeine acts as an appetite suppressant and increases calorie burning to a small degree, making it helpful as part of a well-balanced weight loss program. Caffeine is also used to improve physical performance among athletes or sports enthusiasts.

Niacin (vitamin B3) is important for digestive, skin, and nerve health, according to the National Institutes of Health. Niacin helps convert food to energy and may improve circulation and cholesterol levels. Since it plays an important role in digestion, in small amounts, it is believed to support metabolism and assist with weight loss.

Animal research suggests that conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) supplementation may help reduce body fat. Limited controlled human research found CLA may promote muscle gain and strength.

L-carnitine is produced in the body from the two amino acids lysine and methionine. It is needed to release energy from fat. In a review of several studies of people with obesity, researchers found that participants taking L-carnitine lost more weight than those who did not.
