SlimBiome® has been shown in human intervention studies to be an effective means of supporting hunger-free weight management when combined with a calorie-controlled diet.
Oxford brookes university study
What did the study investigate?
SlimBiome® works by enhancing the microbiome (where the good bacteria lives within the gut), providing improved gut health due to the inclusion of prebiotic fibres. The impact of SlimBiome® on fullness, hunger and cravings between meals and food intake/choice in 20, otherwise healthy, overweight to obese women over a 4-week period.
METHOD
- 20 females, aged 18-65 years, with a BMI of 25-35kg/m2 were asked to participate
- The study randomly assigned SlimBiome® or placebo treatment to the participants
- Participants took SlimBiome® or the placebo with 200ml water, three times daily, 30min before each main meal for 4 weeks, while following the Eat Well Guidelines for healthy eating (Public Health England).
What did we find out?
1. Feeling of increased fullness
Visual analogue scale (VAS) measurements on feeling of fullness before (A) and after (B) product consumption on visit days.
2. Reduced fat intake
3. Decreased food cravings in particular, cravings for sweet food
IN conclusion
If you combine SlimBiome® with healthy eating, it may be used as an effective means of supporting hunger-free weight management.
