Product Overview
More and more people each year are losing their battle to maintain healthy weight levels. And we know it’s not just your size or shape you’re concerned about. Being overweight increases your risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, some forms of cancer, and arthritis because being overweight affects just about every system in the body. Being overweight can have a major impact on your ability to live a long, healthy life. According to former U.S. Surgeon General David Satcher, obesity accounts for 300,000 premature deaths every year.
You may have tried everything from special diets to prescription drugs. But what really works, and what is really safe? A new over-the-counter fat blocker, called Alli®, hit the market place recently. But how natural is it if Alli’s manufacturer warns of the possibility of a variety of bowel system changes, complications with prescription drugs and the reduced absorption of key vitamins and minerals. Another potential weight loss drug, called Zimulti, was recently rejected by the FDA because studies showed it can cause a heightened risk of depression and suicidal thoughts. Compare this to SynergySlim, which is 100% natural, uses ingredients that have years of clinical research backing them, and has no side effects.
SynergySlim contains a proprietary blend of five unique ingredients that each contain strong clinical evidence of supporting weight loss. Each ingredient attacks a different cause of weight gain. Best of all, each ingredient is proven effective, safe and has no side effects. That’s the benefit of taking a 100% natural product!
What is the Difference between SynergySlim and SynergySlim PLUS...?
SynergySlim PLUS is a more powerful, enhanced version of our regular SynergySlim Formula. It includes CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) formulated with 100% Tonalin® CLA, the purest, most absorbable and most extensively researched form of CLA available.
Derived from natural safflower oil, CLA inhibits an enzyme that breaks down fat. By suppressing this enzyme, CLA helps reduce the amount of fat that is broken down and therefore, the amount of fat that is stored. In one recent study, volunteers received CLA or a placebo for 3 months, and asked not to make any changes in their diet and lifestyle. The CLA group had a significant reduction in body fat percent from 21.3% to 17.0%, and also had a reduction in body weight. Tonalin CLA has been proven to accelerate the reduction of body fat and has a variety of other health benefits. The CLA comes in a separate bottle because it is an oil and can't be effectively combined with SynergySlim's other ingredients.
Tonalin CLA joins forces with ChromeMate® chromium (the other fat burner in SynergySlim) to provide even more powerfully accelerated fat burning action. ChromeMate is a patented form of chromium, and does more than just burn fat. When you start to lose weight it makes sure weight loss comes from fat, not muscle. In one study, in which two groups lost the same weight, the chromium group lost 84% fat and16% muscle. The placebo group lost 92% muscle and 8% fat!
Phase 2® is a revolutionary FDA reviewed product that has been proven to neutralize the starch found in foods like potatoes, breads, pasta, rice and corn. In a recent UCLA study, the group that received the Phase 2 lost twice as much weight as the placebo group.
Super EGCG™ green tea extract has been clinically proven to burn up to 5% more calories per day, which equals one meal per week! It also helps keep off the weight! In a recent study, a group that had lost 13 lbs was divided in two groups. One received green tea extract, the other a placebo. The green tea group continued to lose weight while the placebo group actually regained 40% of the weight they had lost!
Super CitriMax® is a patented form of HCA (hydroxycitric acid) that has been proven to suppress appetite, as well as to reduce the conversion of carbs to fat. In an 8-week study led by a Georgetown University professor, the Super CitriMax group lost an average of 12 pounds each compared to 3 pounds for the placebo group!

CLA (Tonalin®)
Tonalin Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a patented form of a fatty acid found primarily in the tissue of grazing animals and in some dairy products. The amount of CLA found in meat and dairy products was much higher half a century ago, when livestock were primarily grass fed. Today most livestock is fattened with corn and other types of feed. CLA has been shown to increase lean muscle mass while decreasing body fat without any change in diet or exercise. Tonalin is a specific variation of CLA that has been used successfully in several weight loss studies.
CLA interferes with a substance called lipoprotein lipase, which normally helps store fat in your body. It also helps to release existing stored fat for use as energy. And it helps to increase lean muscle tissue—which helps you burn more calories. (Muscle tissue is more metabolically active than fat tissue.) Those are just the weight-loss related activities of CLA. Hundreds of studies have been done on CLA since its discovery in 1978. Studies have shown CLA to block the progression of certain cancers, like breast cancer and melanoma. It has also been shown to inhibit arteriosclerosis and enhance immune function, lower cholesterol and lower tryglycerides. So supplementing your diet with CLA appears to be a good thing on many levels.
Over the past 25 years, more than 600 CLA studies have been published illustrating the many ways CLA may enhance your health.
Studies show, CLA safely decreases body fat in four ways:
-
Decreasing the amount of fat stored after eating
-
Increasing how fast fat is broken down in fat cells
-
Increasing the rate of fat metabolism
-
Decreasing the total number of fat cells in our bodies
Some of the most exciting and thorough weight-loss research in humans has been conducted by Scandinavian researcher, Jean-Michael Gaullier, MD.
Scandinavian Clinical Research, Oslo: 180 overweight but healthy men and women, ages 18-65, with body mass indexes of 25-30 (over 30 is considered obese) were divided into three groups. Two groups received two different forms of CLA and one group received olive oil as a placebo. They were told not to change their diet or activity levels. One year later, 157 were still participating. Those taking CLA had decreased body fat by 9% and increased muscle mass by 2%. The placebo group showed little or no change in either fat or muscle. Maximum fat loss took place in the first 3 to 6 months. Those with the highest body mass index, and women, were the most likely to benefit. (Am J Clin Nutr. 2004 Jun; 79(6):1118-25.)
Researcher Jean-Michael Gaullier, M.D worked with 134 of the same people for a second year to determine the safety of taking CLA. There were almost no side effects. Seven people suffered some digestive upset.
Dr. Gaullier’s most recent study, published in the British Journal of Nutrition in March of 2007, also found reductions in fat, primarily in women and primarily in the legs, after six months of supplementation. Lean body mass also increased and hip-to-waist ratio decreased. The dosage used in the study was 3.4 grams per day.
CLA’s potential as a weight-loss aid may be primarily in its effect on body composition. Those who took CLA over a period of two years did not gain their weight back, a common problem for dieters and probably due to lost muscle mass. Other studies have shown that CLA may help people deal with the irritations and uneasy feelings that occur when calories are restricted—sometimes called the “diet blues.”
Nicholas Perricone, MD, author of several books related to aging and weight loss, including the Perricone Weight Loss Diet, thinks CLA is also very important because of its anti-inflammatory properties. According to Dr. Perricone, inflammation is an integral part of the obesity epidemic and needs to be controlled in order for people to shed fat and keep it off. His diet recommends several anti-inflammatory foods, including avocado, salmon, fruits, and vegetables, along with daily CLA.
There is a wide array of research being conducted on CLA. Michael Pariza, Ph.D., of the Food Research Institute at the University of Wisconsin, is considered to be the leading expert on CLA in the United States. Dr. Pariza’s review of CLA literature was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in June, 2004. There is some research associating CLA with inflammation and insulin resistance, Dr. Pariza contends that there is ample evidence and reason to dismiss those results and says CLA is safe. There are several studies showing CLA reduces inflammation. (Am J Clin Nutr. Vol 79, No. 6, 1132S, June 2004.)
Phaseolamin (Phase 2®)
Phaseolamin is an extract derived from white kidney beans, which has been shown to neutralize the starch found in foods like potatoes, breads, pasta, rice, corn and crackers. If your love for carbohydrate-rich foods has been an obstacle to losing weight, this supplement may be able to help. It also has been shown to help decrease insulin resistance and triglyceride levels.
Phaseolamin blocks the activity of alpha amylase, a digestive enzyme that breaks down starch in your intestines, making it available for energy as glucose or for fat storage. When starch is not broken down, it simply passes through your system.
While many carbohydrate blocker studies have been with animals and those with humans were too small to be considered conclusive by current scientific standards, small studies have shown very encouraging results. For example:
2004 UCLA School of Medicine study: 27 overweight adults on a high-fiber, low-fat diet were divided into two groups. The group that received the phaseolamin lost twice as much weight as those who took a placebo. Their triglycerides also dropped three times more than that of the control group. No negative side effects were observed. (Altern Med Rev. 2004 Mar, 9(1):63-9.)
2005 Universita Cattolica di Roma, Rome, Italy study: 60 overweight adults on a 2,000-2,200 high-carb diet were given phaseolamin or a placebo for 30 days. The carb blocker group lost 10 times more weight (6.6 vs. 0.6 of a pound) which was mostly fat. They also showed decreases in body mass index, fat mass, fatty tissue thickness and waist/hip/thigh circumference compared to subjects receiving a placebo. (Int J of Med Sci. 2007Jan 24;4(1):45-52.)
Several unpublished studies conducted by University of Scranton researcher, Joe Vinson, Ph.D., saw reductions in starch absorption by 28 to 66% when phaseolamin was added to various high carb meals.
According to Dr. Harry Preuss, a Georgetown University Professor is one of the world's authorities on the use of dietary supplements to combat obesity, and who has helped to conduct several studies on phaseolamin, large doses in animal studies have caused no harm, and there have been no harmful side effects in small clinical studies on people. In addition, no problems have been reported in the 10 years this product has been in the marketplace.
HCA (Super CitriMax®)
Super Citrimax is a patented product composed of an active ingredient, hydroxycitrate (HCA), with potassium and calcium added to aid absorption. HCA is derived from the rind of tamarind, a fruit native to India. It is similar to the citric acid found in oranges and lemons, but has some unique properties.
Research shows that HCA inhibits a key enzyme, citrate lyase, used in the body’s energy-generating Krebs cycle to convert sugars to fat. So HCA helps to prevent extra sugar that is not needed for energy from being converted to fat and stored in fat tissues, as would normally happen. Instead, it is stored in muscles and in the liver as starch, where it is easily broken down and used for energy as needed.
HCA also seems to help people to eat less without feeling hungry, so they are better able to stick with a diet. It may be that excess carbohydrates stored in the liver and muscles send satiety signals to the brain, turning off appetite. Or it may be because HCA raises blood levels of serotonin, a calming brain chemical that’s often low in people with depression. Higher levels of serotonin are helpful for weight loss.
Several studies demonstrate HCA’s effectiveness and safety as a weight-loss supplement, and point out the best ways to use it. Super Citrimax is especially worth trying, both for weight loss and long-term weight control, to see if it helps you maintain better control of your food intake. Though it’s true some studies show no benefit, that could be because the dosage was too low, or because a poorly-absorbed form of HCA was used. Also, since HCA’s effect is mostly to help reduce food intake, studies may show no effect when both the active and placebo study participants are on a tightly-controlled, low-calorie diet.
Here’s a study that demonstrated very positive results:
2004 study led by Georgetown University professor (conducted in India): 30 healthy but overweight people ages 21-50 participated in a sensible, moderate weight-loss program. They ate 2,000 calories a day and walked 30 minutes, five days a week. Half received HCA, as Super CitriMax. The other half received placebos.
At the end of the eight-week study, the HCA group had done better in all measured categories than the placebo group. They’d lost an average of 12 pounds each, compared to 3 pounds for the placebo group. Their BMI fell by an average 6.3%, compared to 1.7 % for the placebo group. They had a 20% increase in HDL, the “good” cholesterol. (The placebo group had an 11% increase.) And they had a 12% decrease in LDL, the “bad cholesterol. (The placebo group had no change.)
As for appetite, over the eight weeks the HCA group ate an average of 4% less food at each meal, while the placebo group ate an average of 2.8% more. Blood levels of leptin, a weight-regulating hormone, dropped 37% in the HCA group, but only 0.3% in the placebo group. Low leptin levels are a plus when it comes to weight loss.
Both groups had an increase in serotonin. The HCA group’s levels rose an average of 40%; the placebo group’s rose 21%. And urinalysis showed that the HCA group was burning more fat for fuel than the placebo group. (Diabetes Obes Metab, 2004 May; 6(3):171-80.)
In clinical studies, no significant side effects have been noted. HCA has been on the market for 10 years without reports of significant ill effects. HCA has been shown to lower blood sugar and blood pressure and raise serotonin levels. Serotonin has a calming effect, and may help reduce emotional eating. If you are taking medications to lower blood sugar or blood pressure, or an antidepressant, discuss this aspect of HCA with your doctor.
Green Tea Extract
Green tea is produced from the Camellia sinensis plant, from which black tea is also produced. The difference between green and black tea is that with green tea, the leaves are steamed when fresh, which does not allow for the oxidation which occurs with black tea. Because oxidation does not take place, the green tea leaves are higher in polyphenols with potent antioxidant and health-giving properties.
A flurry of new studies suggests that green tea has wide-spectrum activity against heart disease, infections, diabetes, high blood pressure, age-related cognitive decline, Alzheimer's disease, osteoporosis, arthritis, gum disease, weight gain and more.
Green tea extract is derived from green tea and contains concentrated amounts of a compound called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a powerful antioxidant with anti-cancer effects. EGCG also increases metabolism. (Note: Not all green tea extracts are created equal. Check the product label for the percentage of EGCG. Some can be as low as 20%. We recommend at least 50% EGCG. Stop Aging Now’s Green Tea Extract contains 70% EGCG.)
EGCG is thought to block the action of an enzyme that breaks down noradrenaline, a hormone made by the adrenal gland. Noradrenaline acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain. It stimulates the body’s sympathetic nervous system, which controls heart rate, muscle tension and the release of energy from fat. Increasing noradrenaline levels keeps your body slightly “revved” so you burn more calories.
On average, people can burn about 3-4% more calories a day, as heat, when they take green tea extract. (For a person consuming 2,500 calories daily, that would amount to 75-100 calories a day or 525-700 calories a week. That’s like making one meal vanish. Green tea also seems to act as a blood sugar regulator, helping to slow the rise in blood sugar after a meal. This in turn prevents insulin spikes and subsequent fat storage, and may also help to reduce food intake and appetite. Some research even suggests that EGCG can kill fat cells and block formation of new fat cells. For example:
2000 University of Geneva study: Researchers found that men kept in a metabolic chamber for 24 hours burned an average of 78 more calories per day if they took a combination of EGCG and caffeine. They also burned about 20% more fat. (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. 2005; 81(1): 122-129.)
2005 Westerterp Obesity Research study (Netherlands): Seventy-six overweight men and women spent one month on a very low-calorie diet, losing an average of 13 pounds. They then spent the next three months on a weight maintenance diet. Some received a green tea extract three times a day; others got placebos. The group that got the green tea extract continued to lose weight during the weight maintenance period, while the placebo group regained an average of 40% of the weight they had lost. (Obesity Research 2005; 13(6):982-90.)
Green tea extract is not just remarkably safe; it has many additional benefits that improve overall health. Research suggests it can help reduce the risk for cancer, stroke, infection, allergies, and diabetes. Its weight-loss benefits, along with its superb health benefits, make green tea extract a good addition to any weight-loss or weight maintenance program.
Chromium (ChromeMate®)
ChromeMate is a patented form of niacin-bound chromium, generically known as chromium nicotinate or polynicotinate. This nutrient plays an essential role in proper insulin function, maintenance of healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels, normal energy production and promotion of healthy body weight. Chromium is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and hypoglycemia.
You need chromium, a trace mineral, to properly burn carbohydrates and fats. Chromium boosts the activity of insulin, and a lack of chromium promotes insulin resistance and high blood sugar that may trigger type 2 diabetes. Since chromium is highly involved in the metabolism of glucose, it is needed to maintain energy levels. (Diabetes Technol Ther. 2006 Dec;8(6):677-87.)
Deficiencies in chromium can lead to glucose intolerance, fatigue, anxiety and an increased risk of arteriosclerosis. (Br J Nutr. 2007 Aug;98(2):326-31. Epub 2007 Apr 3. Harv Mens Health Watch. 2007 Jan;11(6):6-7.)
Much research shows that taking chromium can help prevent diabetes onset and even reverse diabetic symptoms, such as thirst and fatigue, by normalizing insulin, says Richard Anderson, PhD, a USDA researcher who has extensively studied chromium. He advises taking 200 mcg of chromium daily to help prevent high insulin, blood sugar and diabetes, especially if you are borderline diabetic. Recent Israeli research showed that 200 mcg of chromium picolinate twice a day for three weeks reduced diabetics' blood glucose by 26% and cholesterol by 9%. (Int J Vitam Nutr Res. 2004 May;74(3):178-82.)
Chromium increases the action of insulin in the body, although it’s not exactly clear how this is accomplished. Proper insulin function, in turn, helps your body metabolize fat, turn protein into muscle and convert sugar into energy. In fact, chromium-activated insulin increases the amount of blood sugar available for energy production nearly twenty-fold. Many Americans do not get enough chromium in their diets, and chromium is depleted by excess consumption of refined sugar and white flour products. Use of antacids can reduce chromium absorption.
Dr. Harry Preuss has published more than a dozen scientific papers on chromium and he believes it is one of the most beneficial supplements for blood sugar balance, muscle gain, fat loss and overall health. According to Dr. Preuss, chromium helps dieters avoid the yo-yo effect which occurs when people lose mostly muscle when they cut calories.
Supplemental chromium helps people lose fat while maintaining muscles mass. In one study, where both groups lost the same amount of weight, the chromium-supplemented group lost 84% fat and 16% muscle. The placebo group lost 92% muscle and 8% fat. Since muscle burns more calories than fat, retaining as much muscle as possible is very important to maintaining weight loss. If you lose muscle mass, your body burns fewer calories every day.
Dietary chromium has a good safety profile. None of the hundreds of studies on chromium in people have shown harmful effects.
