Slim
Weight Management
Slim is a stimulant-based weight management formula with five actives targeting three mechanisms: chlorogenic acids and EGCG to slow glucose absorption and extend fat-burning signals, Garcinia HCA to inhibit fat synthesis from excess carbohydrates, and caffeine to drive thermogenesis. Two capsules deliver roughly 300mg caffeine – don’t combine with other caffeine sources.
Slim works primarily through stimulant-driven thermogenesis – raising your metabolic rate and extending the window your body stays in active fat-burning mode. The non-stimulant actives add complementary mechanisms on the glucose and fat-synthesis side.
The thermogenic core – caffeine and EGCG.
Caffeine blocks adenosine receptors – the brain’s fatigue-signaling pathway – increasing alertness and metabolic rate simultaneously. Green Tea at 98% polyphenols / 45% EGCG inhibits COMT, the enzyme that breaks down norepinephrine – the fat-mobilizing signal. Together, caffeine elevates norepinephrine and EGCG extends how long it stays active. The caffeine + EGCG combination is the most studied natural thermogenic stack in the research literature.
Green Coffee Bean – the glucose side.
Green Coffee Bean (50% chlorogenic acid extract) works differently from caffeine. Chlorogenic acids slow glucose absorption from the gut and reduce the liver’s production of new glucose – lowering the blood sugar spikes that trigger fat storage. Roasting destroys most of the chlorogenic acids in regular coffee; the unroasted extract preserves them at the 50% standardization used in the research.
Garcinia Cambogia – fat synthesis.
Garcinia’s active compound, HCA (hydroxycitric acid, 50% standardization), inhibits citrate lyase – the enzyme your body uses to convert excess carbohydrates into fat. It also mildly influences serotonin levels, contributing to the appetite-suppression side of the formula.
Raspberry Ketone – adiponectin.
Raspberry Ketone stimulates the release of adiponectin – a hormone that regulates how the body metabolizes fatty acids. The evidence at supplement doses is less robust than the other actives here, but the mechanism is real and additive to the rest of the formula.

01
Glucose Metabolism
Green Coffee Bean
+
−
Green Coffee Bean (50% extract) is unroasted coffee standardized for chlorogenic acids – compounds that slow glucose absorption from the gut and reduce gluconeogenesis in the liver. Also provides moderate caffeine. The 50% extract standardization ensures consistent chlorogenic acid delivery regardless of batch.
02
Adiponectin Release
Raspberry Ketone
+
−
Raspberry Ketone is a phenolic compound that stimulates the release of adiponectin – a hormone that regulates how the body metabolizes glucose and fatty acids. Some research supports adiponectin's role in supporting fat breakdown; effects at typical supplement doses are less studied than the other actives here.
03
Appetite Suppression
Garcinia Cambogia
+
−
Garcinia Cambogia (50% HCA) provides hydroxycitric acid – the compound that inhibits citrate lyase, an enzyme the body uses to convert excess carbohydrates into fat. At 50% standardization it also mildly influences serotonin levels, contributing to the appetite-suppression side of the formula.
04
Thermogenic Stimulant
Caffeine Anhydrous
+
−
Caffeine Anhydrous is the dehydrated, concentrated caffeine form – rapid absorption, no water weight. It blocks adenosine receptors to increase alertness and metabolic rate, and amplifies the thermogenic effects of the other actives through adrenergic stimulation. The most effective stimulant-based thermogenic compound studied.
05
EGCG Thermogenic
Green Tea
+
−
Green Tea at 98% polyphenols / 45% EGCG inhibits COMT – the enzyme that breaks down norepinephrine – extending the fat-mobilizing signal. The combined caffeine + EGCG effect is the most studied natural thermogenic stack. 45% EGCG standardization is among the highest available in commercial green tea extracts.
