Detailed Ingredient Descriptions:

Ashwagandha has been used for centuries by herbalists as an adaptogen to minimize stress related fluctuations in the diet. it is ideal for people who over eat or under eat as a result of environmental stressors. Prolonged elevated levels of cortisol in the blood stream (often seen in chronic stress) have been shown to suppress thyroid function and cause blood sugar imbalances. Preliminary animal research suggests ashwagandha may help support thyroid function. in addition, emerging evidence suggests that ashwagandha may also help normalize high blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity. in a small case study, subjects with mild type ii diabetes were administered powdered roots of ashwagandha for a month. the researchers reported decreases in blood glucose levels, comparable to that of oral hypoglycemic drugs.

Green Tea Extract catechins have been found to promote thermogenesis, boost metabolism and help burn fat. in a study reported in the American Journal of clinical Nutrition, it was found that green tea extract resulted in a significant increase in energy expenditure (a measure of metabolism), plus it also had a significant effect on fat oxidation. While some of the effects were originally theorized to be due to the caffeine content of green tea, the researchers discovered that the tea actually has properties beyond those explained by the caffeine. the same amount of caffeine, as in the green tea, administered alone, failed to change energy expenditure in other studies. this led researchers to believe that there is some interaction going on with the active ingredients of green tea that promotes increased metabolism and fat oxidation.

Chinese Cinnamon Extracts have been shown to improve insulin, blood sugar and blood lipid metabolism. researchers demonstrated that cinnamon extract acts as an "insulin mimetic" in a type of fat cell (3t3-l1 adipocyte) routinely used to study insulin/glucose metabolism. An insulin mimetic is a substance that has cellular effects similar to insulin itself. Insulin resistance is often linked to obesity. Cinnamon slows the rate at which the stomach empties after meals, reducing the rise in blood sugar after eating. Cinnamon also significantly improved the ability to respond to insulin in type ii diabetics, thus normalizing their blood sugar levels. Both test tube and animal studies have shown that compounds in cinnamon stimulate insulin receptors and also inhibit an enzyme that inactivates them, thus significantly increasing the cells' ability to use glucose, thereby improving fasting glucose levels and glucose tolerance.

Garcinia Cambogia Several compounds have been isolated from garcinia, including xanthones, and (-)-hydroxycitric acid. Hydroxycitric acid is a form of citric acid. Studies indicate that HcA may assist in weight loss because of its ability to regulate metabolism, specifically fat metabolism. HcA is a competitive inhibitor of adenosine triphosphate- citrate lyase. in the cytosol, AtP citrate lyase catalyzes the conversion of citrate and coenzyme A to oxaloacetate and acetyl coA. Acetyl coA is required for the synthesis of fatty acids, cholesterol and triglycerides. it appears that HcA blocks the conversion of sugars and starches into fats, thereby inhibiting fat production. Additionally, hydroxycitric acid is believed to suppress food intake via suppressing neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, that affect appetite control. in a double-blind rct study, the subjects were randomly assigned to receive treatment for 12 weeks with garcinia cambogia or placebo. the aim of the study was to assess the effects of 12 weeks of garcinia cambogia extract administration on visceral fat accumulation. The garcinia cambogia group had significantly reduced visceral, subcutaneous and total fat areas compared with the placebo group and no adverse effects were reported in the study.

Green Coffee is similar to green tea and in its raw, unroasted form, it is rich in plant molecules that speed up metabolism and aid in weight loss. chlorogenic acid is the major polyphenol compound found in green coffee bean extract. in an animal study green coffee bean extract was found to have positive effects against weight gain and fat accumulation by inhibition of fat absorption and activation of fat metabolism in the liver. caffeine was found to be a suppressor of fat absorption, while chlorogenic acid was found to be partially involved in the suppressive effect that resulted in the reduction of hepatic triglyceride levels. Similarly, in a human study, green coffee extract induced weight loss and increased the lean to fat mass ratio in overweight subjects.

Chromium is a trace mineral essential for the proper utilization of blood sugar and the burning of carbohydrates and fats in the body. Chromium is a component of a molecule called Glucose tolerance factor that regulates blood sugar levels. Many studies have suggested that a chromium deficiency can lead to increased body fat and reduced lean body mass and cholesterol.

Combination Rationale
When weight loss is not as simple as diet and exercise, look first to blood sugar metabolism. Slim-Now formula focuses on supporting blood sugar metabolism to improve body composition and aid in weight management.

insulin resistance (the reduced sensitivity of the body's cells to the action of insulin) appears to be a common feature and a possible contributing factor to several frequent health problems, particularly obesity. Maintaining healthy blood glucose levels is a key factor in weight management. Slim-Now formula is a well rounded formula promoting healthy blood sugar balance to help curb cravings, promote satiety and at the same instance, boost metabolism through thermogenesis to promote weight loss.

Cautions and Warnings
