Weight is gained and lost differently by everyone, making dieting both a physical and emotional endeavour. Several factors play into our ability to maintain or regain a healthy body weight, healthy ratio of fat to lean muscle mass, and an energetic metabolism, from our exercise choices, sleep habits and diet to age and genetics. It all adds up. A healthy body composition is often accompanied by healthier hormone levels, blood glucose levels, lipid profiles, resting metabolic rate, fat cell signalling and blood cholesterol levels. Extra pounds, outside of a healthy recommended body mass index (BMI) or healthy ratio of fat to lean muscle mass, may lead to a heavier workload for one’s metabolism and cardiovascular function. There's no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to your healthy weight goals. But there are some common targets in metabolism that, when addressed, can support losing excess body fat and help maintain healthy lean body mass. 

When combined with exercise and a healthy diet, herbal weight loss aids are a popular way to support weight management, fitness and healthy ageing goals. But not all these formulas are non-stimulatory, and not all of them target adiposity factors such as lipids and fat cell maturation (also known as fat cell duplication and size). The use of targeted botanical ingredients is increasing, and not just among those who want to support a healthy weight management. The right formula can support fitness goals as well as weight management goals. More and more individuals, including fitness enthusiasts and ageing individuals, consider taking well-designed botanical formulas to maintain a healthy metabolism. Still, the consumer is often confused about what to take and what a formula may do to help them with their health objective. Having a formula that targets multiple mechanisms of weight management not only provides an effective way to help you reach your desired weight, but also makes it possible to do so without compromising muscle mass or your adrenal support or burdening you with multiple supplements or a hard-to-follow regime. The consumer market seems to agree: Weight loss supplementation is expected to reach a total estimated global market size of US$116.6 billion by 2028.

GoTrim™ Slim is a vegan and gluten-free formula containing 900 mg of the patented Slendacor^®†, a clinically studied ingredient that has been shown to support weight management in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise in both overweight and healthy-weight adults.* In addition, Slendacor helps target multiple weight management factors in both men and women. It's a scientifically backed, proprietary blend of the ingredients Curcuma longa, Murraya koenigii and Moringa oleifera. According to research studies, a hallmark of Slendacor is its non-stimulatory benefit in weight management. When combined with exercise and a healthy diet, it offers statistically significant support for weight management in as little as two weeks, as well as consistently over time. Slendacor helps you reach both your short-term and long-term weight management goals, while supporting your overall wellness goals. Studies suggest that Slendacor may support a non-stimulant benefit to your resting metabolic rate (RMR), leading to burning more calories at rest. RMR helps measure how much energy the body uses when in a resting state, or the energy that is required by the body to carry out the basic functions needed for survival. A lower RMR can make weight management more difficult. A study on Slendacor revealed that its ingredients supported an increase in RMR. Higher RMR is associated with a promotion of caloric burning, suggesting that Slendacor supports the body’s ability to burn more calories throughout the day, when at rest. One of the distinct qualities of Slendacor is that it stimulates resting energy expenditure (REE) without having an impact on one’s heart rate or blood pressure, making it a health and wellness formula that is suitable for many types of individuals. 

A 16-week, double-blind clinical study revealed that a 900 mg daily serving of Slendacor supported weight management, in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise. A healthy waist-to-hip ratio is considered a leading marker of overall metabolic health and is clinically linked to supported fat mass loss and healthy body composition. Participants who fell in the overweight category saw weight loss results in as little as eight weeks. Slendacor also demonstrated an ability to help maintain normal blood lipid profiles and healthy blood glucose levels in both men and women. The evidence of movement towards a healthy BMI among participants who took Slendacor was correlated with other positive health factors. Conclusions of the study stated measure of these metabolic factors indicates a well-supported metabolism. When compared to the placebo group, those who supplemented with Slendacor during studies showed a notable impact to their LDL/HDL cholesterol levels. The overall study suggests that Slendacor may help maintain normal blood cholesterol levels. 

The study also reported that participants who supplemented with Slendacor showed a drop in ghrelin levels by the end of the study that was double the reduction recorded in the placebo group. Ghrelin is the body’s hunger hormone that is released in the gut and communicates to the brain that you are hungry. By lowering levels of this hormone, we are more likely to be responsive to its kissing-cousin hormone, leptin, which helps one recognise the feeling of being full or satisfied. The supplementation group also demonstrated Slendacor’s capacity to support healthy levels of adiponectin. Adiponectin is a protein hormone that has been shown to be connected to the body’s process of lipid metabolism that promotes the breakdown of fat in the body. 

When working to reach your weight management goals, physical activity that induces the maintenance or growth of muscle mass, such as strength training, alongside supplementation may provide more benefits than taking a weight management supplement alone. Having more muscle mass is correlated with a healthy metabolic rate and burning more calories when you are at rest.

Today’s healthy weight-conscious consumers are interested in more than merely pounds on the scale; they also want more strength, muscle mass and support for a robust and energetic metabolism. GoTrim Slim, with its synergistic complex of ingredients in Slendacor, offers more results for your hard work. Don’t wait to start reaching your healthy weight goals — take the initiative today. As Shakespeare wrote, “Our bodies are our gardens, to the which our wills are gardeners.”

4. How does muscle contribute to weight management?
   When working to reach your weight management goals, physical activity that induces the growth of muscle mass, such as strength training, may provide more benefits than taking a weight management supplement alone. Having more muscle mass is correlated with supporting a healthy metabolic rate and burning more calories when you are at rest.⁷ 
   
   
5. How do you calculate BMI?
   BMI = weight (lb) / [height (in)]² x 703 
   
   
6. Is BMI the best way to establish if my weight is healthy?
   BMI has limitations in that it does not evaluate body build. BMI has been used for decades to establish nutritional status, but there's no evidence of fat mass or muscle mass because it is based off total body weight and height. 
   
   
7. How might Slendacor impact one’s resting metabolic rate?
   A reduction in resting metabolic rate (RMR) can make weight management more difficult. A study on Slendacor revealed that its ingredients supported an increase in RMR. RMR describes how much energy the body uses when in a resting state, or the energy that is required by the body to carry out the basic functions needed for survival, including breathing, circulating blood, basic neurological functioning, food digestion, heart beating, organ functioning and more.^11,12 
   
   
8. Why did we choose to formulate this product with avocado extract?
   Avocado extract is a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) that can be digested more quickly and easily than longer-chained triglycerides. Additionally, the bioactive compounds contained in avocado extract may have health benefits related to the maintenance of metabolism and weight.^14,15,16,56
   
   
9. What are the two types of adipocytes (fat cells)?
   Adipocytes reside in specific areas of connective tissue, referred to as white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT). These adipocytes are stored in the form of lipids and act as an energy reserve when the body demands it to carry out various vital functions. WAT, generally located around the waist and thighs, serves as an energy source for the body and provides cushioning and insulation. BAT supports the body’s ability to generate heat and is generally local at the front and back of the neck area.⁵⁵
