Hydroxycitric acid (HCA) is a natural substance isolated from the fruit of the Malabar tamarind (Garcinia Cambogia). It is a powerful lipogenic inhibitor (lipo means fat, -genic means production; lipogenic means fat production). Therefore, a lipogenic inhibitor is a substance which helps prevent the production of fat, it may also suppress appetite. When we consume more calories than we burn, we store the excess in the form of glycogen in the liver and muscles to be used as energy as the body needs it. There is a limited amount of space for glycogen. Once our glycogen stores are filled, the excess calories are converted to fat, and the brain sends out signals telling us that we are hungry. HCA enhances the ability of the liver and muscles to store glycogen, thereby reducing fat production. At the same time, it prevents our brains from telling our stomachs that it is time to eat. The net effect is that more calories are burned as energy, fewer are turned into unwanted pounds, and we don¹t walk around as hungry.

Chromium plays a key role in increasing the body¹s sensitivity to insulin. Insulin is critical in maintaining proper blood sugar levels and stimulating thermo genesis. Without chromium, insulin¹s action is blocked, blood sugar levels are elevated and thermo genesis is inhibited. Supplementing the diet with chromium has been shown to decrease fasting glucose levels, improve glucose tolerance, lower insulin levels and decrease total cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Since increasing insulin sensitivity is a critical goal in promoting weight loss, chromium supplementation would be quite beneficial in people trying to lose weight. In fact, chromium supplementation has been demonstrated to lower body weight yet increase lean body mass, presumably as a result of increased insulin sensitivity.

The best fiber sources for weight loss are psylium, chitin, guar gum, glucomannan, gum karaya, and perctin because they are rich in water-soluble fibers. When taken with water before meals, these fiber sources bind to the water in the stomach to form a gelatinous mass that makes a person feel full. As a result, people will be less likely to overeat. Fiber supplements have been shown to enhance blood sugar control and insulin effects and to actually reduce the number of calories absorbed by the body. Glucomannan offers one advantage over other forms of fiber since much smaller doses are necessary. When glucomannan is placed in water, it can swell up to 17 times its original volume. These qualities make it potentially quite convenient as a fiber supplement.

Hawthorn has been known for its ability to dilate (widen) blood vessels, which improves blood circulation, which can cause related swelling of the legs and feet to subside. By dilating the blood vessels and improving the circulation, hawthorn may also stabilize blood pressure so that the heart does not have to work as hard to pump blood through the body. Unlike other stimulating ingredients such as caffeine, green tea, that one might have seen on the market as an aid for weight loss, such ingredients promote circulation but one may be in risk as the result of increased blood pressure. On the other hand, the dilating of blood vessels and the diuretic effect of hawthorn berry will improve circulation without the risk of increased blood pressure. Research also indicates that hawthorn can prevent increase in, and occasionally actually lower, cholesterol, triglyceride, and blood sugar levels.

Grand Health Slimmy Plus is designed as an aid to help reduce appetite and/or enhance metabolism without side effect. In order for an individual to lose weight, energy intake must be less than energy expenditure. This goal can be achieved by decreasing caloric intake (diet) or by increasing the rate at which calories are burned (exercising). Most individuals will begin to lose weight if they decrease their caloric intake below 1500 calories per day and do aerobic exercise for fifteen to twenty minutes three to four times per week. Although most people who plan to diet, this lifestyle is usually difficult to maintain. However, since the most successful approach to weight loss is gradual weight reduction through adopting long term dietary and lifestyle modifications, by suppressing appetite and enhance metabolism with supplements, people will feel less hungry and burn more fat when they adapt to a decreasing caloric diet.
