Slimaluma® is a powerful all-in-one weight management ingredient that impacts the hunger-anxiety axis; its appetite suppressing qualities make it an ideal addition to modern diets.
Using Slimaluma® to modify hunger is far from a new invention: Originally hailing from India, the plant extract has long been used by tribes to ward off hunger during hunting. Even today, it’s widely consumed in India: as a food, an appetite suppressant and as a treatment for diabetes (1).
How Does Slimaluma® Work?
Slimaluma®, from Gencor, is a patented standardized extract of Caralluma fimbriata. This is a cactus-like plant that contains pregnane glycosides; a compound that has the ability to modify the way we feel hunger. Its appetite suppressing qualities makes it an ideal addition to most modern diets – especially Keto and Intermittent Fasting – which often leaves you with hunger pangs that can make it challenging to stick to your diet.
Gencor has developed a patented process that extracts the key constituents of the plant without chemically altering them. This provides an effective, safe and easy-to-use ingredient that helps you maintain a healthy weight – and support your mood, too!
What Makes Slimaluma® Unique?
This is an all-in-one weight management ingredient that directly influences the hunger-anxiety axis; a pathway that is often associated with binge-eating, anxiety, and stress. With the increased prevalence of anxiety and obesity, an ingredient that impacts both is of vital importance. Unfortunately, most weight management solutions and anti-stress products tend to remain in completely separate categories. Slimaluma®, on the other hand, has a duo-effect in supporting both. Having clinically validated appetite suppressing qualities and anti-stress effects, this ingredient is an ideal addition to most modern diets.
The Science Behind Slimaluma®
All ingredients from Gencor go through rigorous scientific analysis under GLP-certified conditions. Slimaluma® has been vigorously tested and gone through several clinical studies. Recently, Gencor has conducted two human clinical trials and six safety studies to ensure the safety and efficacy of Slimaluma®.
Recent studies with Slimaluma® have shown appetite suppressant effects in both clinical (2,3) and animal trials. Not only did it suppress the appetite, but it also proved to inhibit the formation of new fat cells (4), which makes it a rather remarkable anti-obesity tool. There are no reports or evidence of adverse effects (5,6). It meets DSHEA requirements under section 413a, and is certified Kosher, Halal and organic.
