Slim & Healthy provides a balanced combination of Citrin^® , a source of 50% (-)HCA or Hydroxycitric Acid extracted from the rind of Garcinia cambogia, and Chromium picolinate to support weight loss and weight maintenance programs. Both Citrin and Chromium have been shown to be involved with promoting normal glucose and energy metabolism in the body.*

1. Citrin^®
Citrin^® (hydroxycitric acid) helps in weight loss programs. Hydroxycitric acid in Citrin^® helps to increase the metabolic rate through enhanced glycogen synthesis, thereby increasing energy production¹.

2. Chromium
A recent study revealed the beneficial effects of a chromium supplementation on blood sugar balance. In individuals taking large doses of chromium for four months, glucose and insulin levels were regulated to near normal values, according to Richard Anderson, Ph.D., of the USDA¹. Other studies have validated the role of chromium compounds in maintaining healthy blood triglyceride levels, thereby offering support for cardiovascular health². Chromium polynicotinate, a complex of chromium with nicotinic acid (niacin), is referred to as "glucose tolerance factor" in literature and is a safe and effective form of chromium supplementation³.
