Ingredient Descriptions

ULTRA SLIMTONE FORMULA

Green Tea, Cotinus, Quercetin
BioSlim’s Green Tea extract contains approx. 50% EGCG, an ingredient found to powerfully aid in fat burning and in improvement of metabolic rate. This very special Green Tea extract, made using BioSlim’s unique manufacturing process, is considered the most powerful, proven weight loss aid in the world. Cotinus (an herb) and quercetin is a highly effective bioflavonoid that can help potentiate the effects of Green Tea; it also helps strengthen blood vessels, reduce inflammation and allergy response, and may help inhibit fat accumulation in adipocytes (fat cells). Note: BioSlim’s Green Tea extract is also a powerful antioxidant, helping to protect the body from wear and tear.

BioSlim Pyruvate Complex
Present in both Ultra SlimTone Formula and Vita/Min Plus (and Accelerator). This enhanced complex contains calcium-pyruvate and potassium-pyruvate in optimal balance, plus related nutrients such as choline, inositol and vanadium. Pyruvate is an integral part of the metabolism of every cell of the body. Studies suggest that supplementation with pyruvate and related nutrients can increase the rate of weight loss in obese individuals, inhibit weight regain after an initial weight loss, help improve muscle performance, and reduce cholesterol levels. Pyruvate is completely safe and natural part of every living cell. The BioSlim Pyruvate Complex powerfully synergizes with the other important, metabolically-active nutrients in the BioSlim Formulas.

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 Ultra SlimTone Formula and some (Vitamins B6 and C) are in Ultra Vita/Min Plus as well.

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. The polynicotinate and amino acid forms of chromium found in the BioSlim formulas are the most biologically active, best available.

Oriental Ginseng Root
Major constituents: triterpenoid saponins, glycosides. This premier Chinese herbal tonic is famous for its adaptogenic properties: the ability to improve the body’s functional balance and general well-being. In other words, it acts as a metabolic normalizer. Improves stamina and function of muscles, endurance, concentration, and work efficiency. Improves heart function and response of adrenal glands to stress. Found useful in hypoglycemia. Helps improve overall metabolic functions.

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.

Chinese Thoroughwax (Bupleurum), Gardenia, Balloon Flower (Platycodon)
Major constituents: saikosaponins, furfurol, bupleuromol, gardenin, chlorogenin. These Chinese herbs are important Ultra SlimTone 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 can help in the removal of excess fluids from the body. Platycodon has a long history in Chinese medicine of use in weight control. Note: Bupleurum is also used to aid in preventing or treating menstrual irregularities and cramping.

Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza uralensis)
Major constituent: glycyrrhizin. Acts rapidly to improve body function. Found beneficial in improving energy levels and in preventing hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Cleanses the colon. Note: Also found to help reduce inflammation and the pain and stiffness of arthritis.

Dong Quai (Angelica sinensis)
Major constituents: valerophenone, vitamins, minerals. This famous Chinese herb is believed to improve circulation and modulate hormonal function. A detoxifier. Found useful in the prevention of anemia and fatigue. (Also used for weak or dry skin, and to reduce spasms and pain.) A highly beneficial and important herb for all people. Especially beneficial to women.

Other
There are several other highly effective natural nutrients in Ultra SlimTone Formula, Ultra Vita/Min Plus and Accelerator designed to enhance general & fat metabolism and/or overall well-being. Their reported effects range from 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.

ULTRA VITA/MIN PLUS

BioSlim Pyruvate Complex
Present in both Ultra Vita/Min Plus and SlimTone Formula. This enhanced complex contains calcium-pyruvate and potassium- pyruvate in optimal balance, plus related nutrients such as choline, inositol, and vanadium. Pyruvate is an integral part of the metabolism of every cell of the body. Studies suggest that supplementation with pyruvate and related nutrients can increase the rate of weight loss in obese individuals, inhibit weight regain after an initial weight loss, help improve muscle performance, and reduce cholesterol levels. Pyruvate is completely safe and natural—part of every living cell. The BioSlim Pyruvate Complex powerfully synergizes with the other important, metabolically-active nutrients in the BioSlim Formulas.

Green Tea, Cotinus, Quercetin

This very special Green Tea extract, made using BioSlim’s unique manufacturing process, is considered the most powerful, proven weight loss aid in the world. Cotinus (an herb) and quercetin (a highly effective bioflavonoid) can help potentiate and magnify the effects of Green Tea. Note: BioSlim’s Green Tea extract is also a powerful antioxidant, helping to protect the body from wear and tear.

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.

Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus)
Major constituents: triterpenoid saponins. Promotes vigor, stamina and mental alertness. Used to lower cholesterol and blood pressure. 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.

Choline, Inositol and Bromelain
Choline and inositol are essential in preventing fats from accumulating in the liver, and to the health of that vital organ. They aid in the body’s overall metabolism of fat and cholesterol. Bromelain is a digestive aid, and has been found to reduce blood pressure, help improve cardiovascular function and reduce inflammation (even reduce menstrual cramping and varicose veins).

BioSlim Super-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 Ultra Vita/Min Plus, in a special balanced formula designed by Dr. Leichtberg to support and enhance the body’s metabolic functions. Note: the Enhanced B-Complex group includes such key nutrients as vitamins B1, B2, niacin, B6, B12, folic acid and all other members of this metabolically vital set of essential nutrients.

BioSlim 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.

BioSlim 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.
