These studies where done using much higher doses of their respective ingredients (Pyruvate, Citosan, and Fenugreek). Slim Again Plus uses all of these ingredients at lower doses and has yet to do a clinical study in its current form.

Weight Loss

Clinical studies conducted by medical doctors revealed that subjects ingesting pyruvate (a primary ingredient in Slim Again Plus) experienced an average greater weight loss and greater fat loss when compared to the placebo study group.

-American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
Ronald T. Stanko, M.D., et al.
Univ. of Pittsburgh School of Medicine


Medical doctors found that subjects consuming 2000 calories daily along with low-doses of pyruvate (a primary ingredient in Slim Again Plus) lost 4.8 pounds of body fat in six weeks.

Fenugreek (a primary ingredient in Slim Again Plus) may promote weight loss because it slows the rate of gastric emptying, so they will feel full longer and their appetite may be suppressed.

-Nutrition Research (Journal)
Dr. R.D. Sharma, et., al.
Human Clinical Study


The Helsinki Study was a randomized, double blind placebo controlled study performed in human subjects. Chitosan (a primary ingredient in Slim Again Plus) was associated with significant greater weight loss than the placebo group.

Fat Binding

Results revealed significant decreases were reported in LDL cholesterol for subjects consuming Chitosan Plus (a primary ingredient in Slim Again Plus) compared to the placebo. In addition the significant reduction in plasma carotenoids indicates a marked decrease in fat absorption.

East Tennessee State University
Johnson City Medical Center


Having tested the fat-binding properties of Chitosan (a primary ingredient in Slim Again Plus) against various other fat-binding products, the results showed that Chitosan binds more fat than similar raw ingredients or other finished products tested.

Endurance

Researchers found that supplementation with pyruvate (a primary ingredient in Slim Again Plus) significantly increased muscular endurance in both the arms and legs.

Blood Sugar Metabolism

Human clinical studies confirmed that consumption of fenugreek (ingredient in Slim Again Plus) may help promote blood sugar balance, mostly by decreasing the glycemic index of food consumed, which improves blood sugar response.

Cholesterol

Results revealed significant decreases were reported in LDL cholesterol for subjects consuming Chitosan Plus (a primary ingredient in Slim Again Plus) compared to the placebo. In addition the significant reduction in plasma carotenoids indicates a marked decrease in fat absorption.

Ingestion of (25 grams) of fenugreek (ingredient in Slim Again Plus) seed powder resulted in a significant reduction of total cholesterol, LDL and VLDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels, which indicates the beneficial effects of fenugreek seeds in diabetic subjects.
