SlimBiome® helps consumers to reduce food intake cravings by promoting the feeling of fullness and maintaining blood glucose levels. This approach helps consumers to help themselves. Many diets focus on simply reducing calories in a bid to aid weight loss which is not always sustainable, and commonly leads to failure due to food cravings taking over. SlimBiome® helps to reduce hunger and therefore takes the willpower out of the equation, leading to a more successful and sustainable approach to weight management.

- SlimBiome® Mechanism of Action
Promotes a longer feeling of fullness by gently expanding in the stomach and gelling activity delays gastric emptying.
Stimulates the growth of health positive bacteria, promoting improved gut health.
Reduces food cravings by maintaining blood glucose levels. Regulates the insulin response, contributing to carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism.
Using OptiBiotix’s unique microbiome modulation science, as well as patented formulation of natural ingredients identified and developed by leading specialists in metabolism and nutrition, SlimBiome® takes the toil out of managing weight.
By taking up additional room in the stomach, delaying the rate of which it empties whilst also stimulating the growth of health positive bacteria in the gut the SlimBiome® blend of prebiotics and dietary fibers helps to create a longer-lasting feeling of fullness. The trace mineral content enhances the body’s use of insulin, helping to metabolize carbohydrate and fat and maintains blood sugar levels to help reduce food cravings. The inclusion of prebiotic fibers maintains gut microbiome diversity, providing improved gut health, which has been associated with improved weight loss.
