AppleSlim - Weight Loss & Heart Health
AppleSlim contains the patented apple polyphenol ingredient - ApplePhenon™ together with green coffee bean extract.
ApplePhenon apple polyphenols are powerful plant-based antioxidants that have been the subject of human clinical trials for a wide variety of health issues:
- Weight management for visceral fat and overall weight
- Cardiovascular support (cholesterol and triglyceride management)
- Glucose management
- Athletic performance
- Respiratory support
- Skin care
- Dental care
- Inflammatory conditions
AppleSlim utilizes two ingredients that make it the ideal supplement for use in a weight management program. It combines ApplePhenon, a patented, clinically proven apple polyphenol ingredient together with green coffee bean extract. Apples and coffee beans. Two common everyday foods – but AppleSlim contains unique concentrated versions of these foods.
How it Works
ApplePhenon is thought to have three primary modes of action to deliver its benefits for weight management and cardiovascular support:
- Its role as an antioxidant (clearing waste from the cells and protecting them from damage).
- Its prebiotic properties which promote improved gut flora.
- Its ability to mimic a calorie-restricted diet by inhibiting enzyme activity in lipid (fat) and glucose absorption.
Confirmed by Clinical Studies
Two clinical studies have shown that daily doses of 600 mg of ApplePhenon can help to reduce visceral fat and overall weight.
The first 12-week placebo-controlled study demonstrated that by using ApplePhenon, visceral fat in overweight individuals could be decreased by 9% while reducing waistline and hip measurements.
A second longer study showed a reduction in visceral fat area, an improvement in adiponectin levels (anti-inflammatory hormone that helps with glucose control) and a decrease in overall weight.
How it's Made
ApplePhenon is carefully extracted from specially selected wildcrafted immature green apples from Central Asia, the “Land of the Original Apple”. Using a proprietary gentle extraction process, the highest concentration of apple polyphenols is preserved for optimal antioxidant activity. A daily dose of AppleSlim capsules containing ApplePhenon ingredient contains the equivalent polyphenols of 18 ripe apples.
Clinical Research
Weight Management (reduction of visceral fat) | Two clinical studies have shown that daily doses of 600 mg of ApplePhenon™ can help to reduce visceral fat and overall weight. The first 12-week placebo-controlled study demonstrated that by using ApplePhenon™, visceral fat in overweight individuals could be reduced by 9% while slimming waistline by 1.7 cm and hip measurement by 0.8 cm.(6) A second longer study showed a reduction in visceral fat area, an improvement in adiponectin levels (anti-inflammatory hormone that helps with glucose control) and 1.5 lb decrease in overall weight.(7) |
Cardiovascular Support (cholesterol and triglyceride) | A 12-week study of moderately obese subjects was conducted with a dose of 600 mg of ApplePhenon™ vs hops extract and a placebo. Patients on the ApplePhenon™ polyphenols were able to reduce total cholesterol and LDL (“bad cholesterol”) levels while improving HDL (“good cholesterol”) levels.(8) This corroborated an earlier 4-week pilot study that had indicated similar results.(9) Another study done with 600 mg of ApplePhenon™ showed that the absorption of triglycerides from a high fat diet could be reduced significantly by apple polyphenols’ ability to inhibit pancreatic lipase activity.(10) |
Glucose Management | A randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled study with 65 patients using a dose of 600 mg of ApplePhenon™ was conducted. It showed that ApplePhenon™ could improve impaired glucose tolerance vs. a placebo over a 12-week period. The researchers concluded that insulin response was increased due to a reduction in inflammation and improvement in gut microbiota.(11) |
Athletic Performance | An eight-day study of college athletes was conducted using a dose of 1,200 mg of ApplePhenon™. ApplePhenon™ significantly improved athletic performance and fatigue resistance vs. ascorbic acid (1,000 mg), as measured by bicycle exercise load testing.(12) |
Respiratory Support | Low doses of ApplePhenon™ (50-200 mg daily) have been shown to reduce the symptoms of allergic rhinitis. Patients with chronic rhinitis in the double-blind study showed improvement in sneezing attacks, reduced nasal discharge and nasal swelling.(13) |
Skin Care | Researchers studied ApplePhenon™’s benefits for skin-related allergic reactions. They noted that at 600 mg daily, atopic dermatitis conditions were improved with less inflammation, cracking and itching, along with fewer associated sleeping interruptions.(14) |
