Zlim Trim

100 x 1000mg Tablets

Product Overview

Panaxea’s Zlim Trim is cutting edge anti-obesity formula that may help attenuate the pathways that lead to weight gain, obesity induced inflammation and altered metabolism. Clinically tested extracts of Forskohlii, Gugglesterones  and hydroxycitric acid (from Garcinia) when combined together may help reduce the detrimental health effects of excess abdominal fat and obesity.*  

Actions 

• May support weight loss*

• Increases energy levels*

• May help reduce glucose blood levels*

• Enhances burning of fat tissue and increases caloric expenditure*

• May help reduce obesity induced inflammation*

Garcinia quaesita contains hydroxycitric acid (HCA)

HCA exerts its anti-obesity effects through its inhibition of the enzyme ATP citrate lyase, playing a critical role in energy storage, and affecting the appetite. Weight gain occurs after the body's capacity for glycogen storage is reached. At this point, glucose from excessive calorie intake is converted into acetyl coenzyme A via a metabolic pathway involving ATP-citrate lyase and then into fat molecules, which are stored in fat cells. HCA inhibits this process by binding to ATP-citrate lyase to reduce the production of acetyl coenzyme A, reducing the body's production of fat and cholesterol. HCA also increases the ability of the liver and muscles to synthesize and store glycogen, thereby suppressing appetite. Early research by Hoffman-La Roche found that HCA interferes with the break-down of fatty acids in the Krebs Cycle resulting in increased energy expenditure, reduced appetite, decreased plasma cholesterol, and inhibited fat synthesis from excess carbohydrate calories (1).*

Coleus forskohlii (extract forskolin, standardised to contain '185 forskolin')

Forskolin has been found to decrease fasting blood glucose levels. Previous research found that Forskolin enhanced the glucose-mediated stimulus that induces beta cells to release insulin. This effect was produced by the elevation of cAMP, which activates two main signaling pathways in beta cells. One pathway is mediated by protein kinase A (PKA) and the other is activated by factors of guanine nucleotide exchange that are regulated by cAMP (1).*

E & Z Gugglesterones (Guggul) 

Gugglesterones (GS) act as antagonist ligands for the bile acid receptor, farnesoid X receptor, and as active ingredients responsible for the hypolipidemic activity (1). GS had been demonstrated to suppress lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation by inhibiting IκB-α degradation and NF-κB activation (2,3). GS has medicinal properties such as anti-inflammatory (4) hepatoprotective (5) and anti-obesity (6).*

L-Tryrosine

Tyrosine is a nonessential amino acid. It is generated from one essential amino acid – phenylalanine.

Tyrosine is the immediate precursor to the thyroid hormone thyroxin and melanin. Deficiencies of phenylalanine or tyrosine may result in interruption of the synthesis of melanin or thyroxin. Therapeutic doses of tyrosine may have an impact on thyroid hormone production and basal metabolism.

Tyrosine supplementation has been used in animals to treat elevated and low blood pressure, which illustrates its blood pressure normalizing effects. Tyrosine has also been suggested to be useful for the management of certain nervous system disorders which are associated with low dopamine output such as depression. Therapeutic doses of tyrosine may have an impact upon thyroid hormone product and basal metabolism.
