Slim9 ingredients

Acai: Acai berries contain powerful anti-oxidants that can boost the immune system and can help cleanse the colon. However, there are no clinical studies to support the weight loss claims made by the manufacturers of weight loss products containing the berry. While acai can be a useful component of a weight loss plan that includes a calorie-controlled diet, by itself it is just another fruit.

Caffeine: A recognized fatburner with clinically proven modest benefits for weight loss (e.g. Am J Clin Nutr. 1989;49(1):44-50; Am J Clin Nutr. 1980;33(5):989-97), although there are indications that it offers greater benefits to leaner individuals (Am J Physiol. 1995;269(4 Pt 1):E671-678). Caffeine can also enhance exercise performance.

Dandelion root/leaf: This plant is also included in the formulation for its diuretic properties. Dandelion is generally considered to be a relatively gentle herb without any serious side effects. However, some people have reported allergic reactions from merely touching dandelion but this is rare. Patients who are on pharmaceutical diuretics or drugs that have a diuretic action should not take supplements containing dandelion. In such cases, one of the possible side effects/interactions of dandelion is that it could lower the potency of the synthetic drug. Individuals on diabetes medications should also be aware that dandelion might increase the blood sugar lowering effects of those pharmaceutical drugs.

Cayenne: Capsicum is also known as cayenne pepper, red pepper, African chilies, green pepper, tabasco pepper, paprika, pimiento, Mexican chilies, Louisiana pepper, etc. Capsicum contains capsaicinoids, which are the family of compounds that cause the intense heat experienced when eating chili peppers. Capsanicinoids help to promote thermogenesis, carbohydrate oxidation and stimulate fat oxidation. Capsanicinoids also have strong antioxidant properties. Numerous clinical trials support the effectiveness of Capsicum in promoting weight loss. However, it appears that very high doses are required for it to be effective, and these can cause side effects.

Ginger: Ginger contains oleoresins that are rich in gingerols. These compounds have a variety of sedative effects. Ginger is traditionally used to calm the stomach and as a treatment for motion sickness. Since some individuals experience gastrointestinal upset with caffeine and other stimulatory chemicals, ginger should help to eliminate this occasional side effect.

Ginseng: This plant has been used in China for many and can increase stamina and vigor especially in men. Ginseng has the ability to act as a thermogenic. It increases body heat therefore boosting metabolism and the burning of fat. In December 2008, the Phytotheraphy Research Journal published the results of their study on ginseng for weight loss. The study confirmed that ginsenoside Rg3, a constituent of red ginseng, inhibits cells from fully absorbing and storing fat.

Green tea: There is some evidence that green tea can promote modest weight loss (e.g. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2005; 81(1): 122-129). Most studies have demonstrated that it is one essential catechin, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), working in combination with caffeine that provides the weight reduction benefits. Unfortunately, the manufacturer of Lipozolve does not reveal what their green tea is standardized for, so it is impossible to assess the value it adds to the formulation. Green tea may also slow the increase in blood sugar following a meal. It does this by inhibiting the action of a digestive enzyme called amylase. This enzyme is responsible for the breakdown of carbohydrates, which can cause blood sugar levels to increase following a meal.

Theobromine: This ingredient is a nitrogen containing compound found naturally in cocoa and is a minor constituent of coffee and tea. Theobromine is similar in structure to caffeine, and belongs to a class of alkaloid molecules known as methylxanthines. Theobromine has an effect that is similar to caffeine, but slightly milder. It is commonly used in both traditional medicine to treat and prevent a wide range of illnesses and disorders, including high blood pressure and coughs. Theobromine has been shown in clinical studies to reduce food intake. It has an appetite-suppressing effect. Theobromine is the “feel-good” ingredient in chocolate, and it can therefore help with the emotional aspects of weight loss.

Slim9 dosage

The manufacturer recommends taking on 635 mg capsule with a meal once daily. There are 30 capsules per container.

How much weight loss with Slim9?

Slim9 Conclusion

The manufacturer claims that Slim9 has been clinically proven. While most of the ingredients in Slim9 have been evaluated in clinical studies, these studies generally reported modest results. In addition Slim9 itself does not appear to have been clinically tested. The ingredients have the potential to deliver health benefits, but weight loss is by no means guaranteed. Also, testimonials with regard to the effectiveness of Slim9 are mixed.
