Ayurslim Tablets Ingredients Include:
Vrikshamla / Garcinia (Garcinia cambogia) 300mg which limits the synthesis of fatty acids in the muscles and liver and thus limits production of lipids. Recent studies have shown that fruits, like Garcinia, contain a biologically active compound which is known to inhibit the synthesis of lipids and fatty acids and lowers the formation of LDL and triglycerides. Additionally, appetite is also suppressed by promoting synthesis of glycogen, this way the brain gets signals of fullness and satisfaction sooner. Garcinia also contains significant amounts of Vitamin C and has been used as a heart tonic.
In a review conducted on various studies on Garcinia, it was found that it has positive effects on the weight loss process, reduction of appetite and body fat percentage, triglycerides, cholesterol and glucose levels and lipogenesis process 1
Guggulu / Guggul (Commiphora wightii) 70mg which maintains normal cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Guggul is a resin known to increase white blood cell counts and possess strong disinfecting properties. Guggul has long been known to normalize lipid metabolism, maintain optimum cholesterol levels and HDL to LDL ratio. A broad mode of action makes this plant very helpful in building the body's defences.
In 2013, three new compounds were discovered in guggul oleogum resin. These were found to have significant α-glucosidase inhibitory effect. 2 Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors work by preventing conversion of carbohydrates into simple sugars thus having a benefical effect on blood glucose levels.
Meshashringi / Gymnema (Gymnema sylvestre) 10mg which helps reduce the craving for sugar and sweets and neutralises the excess sugar present in the body, thus preventing it from turning into fat. Gymnema or Gurmara Gymnema, whose Hindi name literally means 'sugar destroyer', has been shown in vitro to have a glycolytic action and the ability to reduce the strength of a glucose solution. It has been used in Ayurveda for several centuries to regulate sugar metabolism. It also abolishes the taste of sugar, which effectively suppresses and neutralizes the craving for sweets
Haritaki (Terminalia chebula)10mg which helps maintain normal cholesterol levels. studies on rabbits of the cholesterol-lowering actions of each of the triphala fruits showed that haritaki fruit had the strongest effect. Although all three fruits reduced cholesterol, haritaki fruit reduced cholesterol deposits in the liver and aorta compared to controls (Thakur et al., 1988).
Medhika / Fenugreek(Trigonella foenum-graecum)10mg which helps maintain normal blood glucose levels. In Ayurveda, the seeds and leaves are known for their tonic effects. Trigonella foenum-graecum delays the digestion and absorption of glucose
Ayurveda recommends a combination of these herbs in predetermined proportions for effective control of body weight. These herbs work synergistically to bring about the desired effect.
