NOW Slimaluma Plus
Based on the patented Slimaluma, NOW Slimaluma Plus combines slimaluma with 2 other natural ingredients, which NOW Foods depict as the ultimate sports and weight loss supplements for dieters who are serious about healthy living. NOW Slimaluma Plus describes an ingredient that has been clinically tested and proven to suppress appetite and improve better weight management with a maximum potency, but all-natural blend.
What Makes Slimaluma So Great?
Slimaluma is a patented form of an ingredient called caralluma fimbriata. A cactus in the Indian deserts, caralluma fimbriata has been used in multiple instances to promote healthy weight loss benefits by suppressing appetite when used in doses of 1000mg.
Scientists took this base ingredient and extracted the most active parts, further isolated those parts of caralluma fimbriata, and over time, researchers were able to maximize the potential benefits of this one ingredient in the form of Slimaluma. Slimaluma is still caralluma fimbriata, researchers have simply maximized caralluma fimbriata’s potential appetite suppressing effects.
What About the Other Ingredients?
NOW Slimaluma Plus combines Slimaluma with 2 other ingredients: yerba mate and green tea. Green tea has been through hundreds of clinical studies, and green tea has been proven in multiple instances to burn fat and improve health with natural EGCG antioxidants.
When used properly, green tea is a supplement that has proven itself to be applicable not only in ancient Chinese medicine, but also in modern science.
However, we cannot say the same for yerba mate. Yerba mate is a popular Brazilian energy supplement, and many dieters, advertisers, and researchers have speculated about all of yerba mate’s possible benefits. However, clinical studies on this ingredient have shown time and time again that yerba mate has never been proven to promote any known weight loss benefits, at least not alone.
How Do These Ingredients Combine?
NOW Slimaluma Plus uses 3 total ingredients, and 2 of the ingredients in NOW Slimaluma Plus have been clinically proven to promote weight loss benefits under the right circumstances. With the clinically proven amounts, green tea and slimaluma could be more than capable of meeting the standards set by NOW foods for NOW Slimaluma Plus.
However, NOW Slimaluma Plus has cut everything in half. By this, we mean that certain doses have always been tested in positive clinical studies on these ingredients. NOW Slimaluma Plus takes those doses and cuts them in half. Green tea requires 400mg, so NOW Slimaluma Plus uses 200mg. Slimaluma has been tested in doses of 1000mg, so NOW Slimaluma Plus uses 500mg.
At first glance, NOW Slimaluma Plus is based on good information, and were NOW foods to double the doses, NOW Slimaluma Plus could still be an excellent and natural weight loss pill. However, with the doses of each ingredient that NOW Slimaluma Plus currently uses, NOW Slimaluma Plus cannot match the clinical studies that prove ingredients like green tea to be effective in the first place.
