So what are the ingredients in the powdered drink? Here is the list of the chemical names for the plant extracts as well as the benefits of each one. Chlorogenic Acid (Green Coffee Bean Extract) Dr. Oz recommends chlorogenic acid, this from his site, “Chlorogenic acid slows absorption of fat from food intake and also activates metabolism of extra fat.” Chlorogenic Acid is found in bamboo, prunes, peaches and other plants; known to aid in lowering blood pressure; may have antioxidant effects; can be used to reduce bitterness in food. Proprietary blend of Chlorogenic Acid from Caffea Arabica contains less than 2% natural caffeine. Citrin K (Garcinia Cambogia) This is another ingredient that Dr Oz discussed in the past. It is found in a plant grown in Indonesia. It can act as an appetite suppressant, may improve mood, aid in sleep, and help with emotional eating. Garcinia Cambogia also helps to block fat absorption. Not all Citrin K is equal in quality so be aware of that. Alpha Lipolic Acid Found naturally in the human body and can be found in certain foods such as spinach and rice bran. It is a powerful antioxidant! Alpha Lipolic Acid may aid in blood sugar control. It may also help with brain function and age related conditions. Here is what WebMD has to say about it. Mercola has an excellent article that explains the importance of ALA, (and mentions these conditions it helps with: Lupus, Rheumatoid arthritis, Dermatomyositis (an inflammatory muscle diseases, & Autoimmune diseases) Chromium (Amino Nicotinate GTF) Chromium GTF is a metal. It is known as an essential trace element. Chromium GTF is used for blood sugar control for people with Types 1 and 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, and high blood sugar due to steroids. It is also used for depression, lowering bad cholesterol, and raising good cholesterol; aids in weight loss, fat loss, and muscle gain; improves athletic performance and increases energy. Web MD has lots to say about the benefits of Chromium. Polydextrose A form of soluble fiber that can take the place of sugar in beverages. It can be used as a thickening agent and stabilizer. The polydextrose used in Slim is derived from rice and not corn. Citric Acid A weak organic acid that acts as a natural preservative. Beet Root Extract Used for coloring. Stevia Leaf Extract & Lo Han Fruit Extract Both are all-natural sweeteners that do not spike blood sugar when eaten. Pomegranite & Cherry Flavoring These are natural flavorings that you’ll find in popular organic foods. Other Positives with the Ingredients Plexus Slim does not contain MSG or other proven red-flag ingredients. Although some manufacturers play label games to hide MSG and other controversial ingredients, all the chemical names used in labeling Plexus Slim are the chemical break downs of the various plant extracts used. No MSG, no artificial, no synthetics. Plexus Slim is also gluten-free and Vegan and Vegetarian friendly. You can order all these supplements above and take them individually. That’ll cost you a pretty penny but you can do it. Also you’d need to make sure you were buying quality and your dosage would be something you’d need to figure out and watch. That is why I love how simple and effective this all-in-one supplement. How do you order? slimworldwide Ambassador #140642 Message me if you need assistance!
