Curious how Plexus Slim and Block actually work? Here is the science: SLIM: Slim is rich in Chlorogenic Acid, Garcinia Cambogia, Chromium and Alpha lipolic acid. Block is rich in White Kidney Bean Extract and Brown Seaweed. Chlorogenic acid is derived in Plexus Slim from the unroasted green coffee bean. This is a potent antioxidant and has less than 2% natural caffeine. CGA suppresses an enzyme in your liver which slows down the release of glucose. When glucose in less available in the blood stream, the body uses fat for energy. By burning fat, the metabolism of the body is increased. CGA helps to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Garcinia Cambogia is a fruit from Asia. This is rich in Hydroxycitric acid. The HCA slows fat production and disrupts the production of triglycerides (bad cholesterol). By aiding in reduction of cholesterol, healthy blood pressure are more easily obtained and less vessel blockage. HCA has also been known to increase serotonin levels in the brain. When Serotonin is low, anxiety, depression and anxiety can occur. Lastly, HCA aids in appetite suppression and more feeling of fullness after meals, thus decreasing binge eating. Chromium: Works to enhance the act of insulin. This is found in foods and our environment. Diets high in simple sugars/carbs (American diets) deplete the body of this needed mineral. Type 2 Diabetics may have severe low levels of chromium, this making their insulin resistance and high sugar levels worse. Chromium is also removed from the body when there is a high stress level such as, trauma and illness. Our body must be able to use insulin sufficiently so that we can use our glucose. Think of insulin as a gate keeper which opens up your cells and allows glucose sugar inside. Every organ and metabolic process in our bodies need glucose for functioning. Type 2 diabetics have a normal amount of insulin secreted from the pancreas but for whatever reason the body is not able to use it efficiently. Type 1 diabetics do not make insulin. Alpha Lipolic Acid: This is found in food. Plays a role in enzyme production in the body. ALA is also a potent antioxidant. Antioxidants reduce free radicals in the body. Lo Han Guo and Stevia: Natural fruit and plant based sweeteners. PLEXUS BLOCK: White Kidney Bean Extract: This blocks the enzyme alpha-amylase from breaking down carbohydrates (sugar) in the body. Carbs that would normally be digested, turn into a fiber like (non-digestible) carb and are excreted. There is a 48% blockage of carbs and simple sugars. This helps to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Brown Seaweed (InSea2): Antioxidant. Helps to target belly fat. The Brown seaweed has a higher concentration of iodine than other kelps. This is great for detoxification. Brown seaweed has 72 trace minerals. Iodine is needed for normal thyroid metabolism and function. Brown seaweed has also been used to treat skin conditions, stomach issues and helps to remove heavy metals, toxins and mercury from the body. *This is my independent research on specific ingredients as an independent Ambassador and Registered Nurse and not supplied by Plexus Worldwide.
