Ingredient Descriptions

SLIMTONE YOUTH FORMULA (chewable)

Coenzyme Q10, Vitamins B6 and C, Glucomannan
All these nutrients have been found to enhance, speed up or aid in the weight loss process, and/or are important elements in the body's metabolic processes for handling calories and fat. These ingredients are in the SlimTone Youth Formula and some (Vitamins B6 and C) are in the Vita/Min Plus Youth Formula as well.

Atractylodes and Astragalus
These two famous, important herbs have been found useful in improving energy levels and alertness, and in regulating blood sugar and promoting proper digestion. Also believed beneficial in improving stamina and metabolism, and in the treatment or prevention of diabetes. These are thus important constituents of SlimTone Youth Formula. Both of these herbs are also reported useful in toning and strengthening the immune system. Safe and highly beneficial for people of all ages.

Chromium (as Polynicotinate and amino acid chelate)
This essential mineral nutrient facilitates and/or stimulates the metabolism of sugar, fat and cholesterol in the body, as well as the function of insulin. Major hospital and university studies have suggested that supplementation with chromium can reduce body fat, help build lean body muscle, regulate blood sugar and lower elevated cholesterol, particularly in deficient individuals. Note: Children are often deficient in this mineral. The polynicotinate and amino acid forms of chromium found in the BioSlim formulas are the most biologically active, best available. Total combined dosage levels are appropriate for children.

Chinese Thoroughwax (Bupleurum), Gardenia, Balloon Flower (Platycodon)
These Chinese herbs are important SlimTone Youth Formula constituents. They support the metabolism and function of the liver and gallbladder, the sites of fat breakdown in the body. They improve digestion. And they may help in the removal of excess fluids from the body. Platycodon has a long history in Chinese medicine of use in weight control. Formulated by doctors to be safe and effective for children.

Other
There are several other highly effective natural nutrients in SlimTone Youth Formula and Vita/Min Plus Youth Formula designed to enhance general and fat metabolism and/or the overall well-being of children. Their reported effects range from gently helping to normalize thyroid function (which in turn directly affects metabolic rate and overall health)—sargassum, laminaria, and the B vitamin complex are some of the natural ingredients that can help in that regard—to supporting the body’s proper function and stamina, regulating appetite, and aiding in the processing and elimination of excess fat and waste. All ingredients are carefully chosen and balanced for the needs of children.

VITA/MIN PLUS YOUTH FORMULA (chewable)

Pantothenic acid
An essential B vitamin; vital to the body's capacity to utilize and handle fat effectively. In clinical trials, this important nutrient was found to aid in weight loss without hunger or weakness.

Chromium Polynicotinate
This essential mineral nutrient facilitates and/or stimulates the metabolism of sugar, fat and cholesterol in the body, as well as the function of insulin. Major hospital and university studies have suggested that supplementation with chromium can reduce body fat, help build lean body muscle, regulate blood sugar and lower elevated cholesterol, particularly in deficient individuals. Note: Children are often deficient in this mineral. The polynicotinate and amino acid forms of chromium found in the BioSlim formulas are the most biologically active, best available. Total combined dosage levels: appropriate for children.

Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus)
This gentle herb promotes vigor, stamina and mental alertness. Found to help achieve good, restorative sleep (important to proper metabolism and weight loss), improve circulation and normalize blood sugar levels. Note: this herb is often used generally to help achieve optimal health (and weight). Formulated safe and effective for children.

Bromelain and Quercetin
Bromelain is a digestive aid, and has been found to reduce blood pressure, help improve cardiovascular function and reduce inflammation. Quercetin is a highly effective bioflavonoid that helps strengthen blood vessels, reduce inflammation and allergy response, and may help inhibit fat accumulation in adipocytes (fat cells).

BioSlim Youth-Enhanced B-Complex, Vitamin C
These nutrients, all water-soluble, are essential to the processes by which the body handles fat, carbohydrates and the elimination of excess fat. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that promotes a healthy immune system and may also help in the removal of fat. All of these important nutrients are in the BioSlim Vita/Min Plus Youth Formula, in a special balanced formula designed by Dr. Leichtberg to support and enhance the metabolic functions of young people. Note: the Enhanced B-Complex group includes such key nutrients as vitamins B1, B2, niacinamide, B6, B12, folic acid and all other members of this metabolically vital set of essential nutrients.

BioSlim Youth-Balanced Vitamins A, D and E
All three of these fat-soluble nutrients have been found reduced or deficient in obese individuals, suggesting that appropriate supplementation may help in the healthful elimination of excess fat. Note: BioSlim uses only natural Vitamin E, found in studies to be at least twice as effective as the synthetic kind. Dosages are balanced and appropriate for children.

BioSlim Youth-Balanced Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Selenium
All four are essential minerals that must be present in order for the body’s metabolism to function properly. These nutrients aid in the handling of carbohydrates and protein, the formation of strong bones, the healing process, and normal digestion. They are vital to normalizing insulin function (which in turn controls the body's blood sugar levels, prevents diabetes and obesity) and in maintaining a normal metabolic rate. Note: Magnesium has also been found in clinical trials to improve heart health and blood pressure; selenium is a powerful antioxidant that can significantly boost the immune system.
