Slimsticks Launching At Boots

You can help your diet along with Slimsticks, which is launching at Boots stores all over the country.

Costing £24.99 for 30 Slimsticks, they are powder-filled sachets. You just mix them with warm water to make a tasty drink in either vanilla, strawberry or malt flavours.

The main active ingredient is Slimjac™, a blend of Konjac, palm oil and oat oil.

Within minutes of drinking a Slimstick, Konjac expands in your stomach to help make you feel full.

It's a natural source of soft fibre which will help regulate your blood sugar.  

After Three hours, the fine droplets of palm oil and oat oil will get to work, suppressing hunger pangs and reducing your desire to snack.  

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) says Konjac, the main ingredient in Slimjac™, is proven to help with fat loss and fullness. But Slimsticks can only help with a calorie-controlled diet and an active lifestyle.

Franco Beer, the MD of Inovate Health, says: "With Slimsticks, you can eat what you like. You'll just feel like eating much less,  boosting fat loss minus the crippling hunger pangs."

Take one sachet of Slimsticks three times a day up to one hour before eating, by adding the powder in the sachet to 50 to 100ml of warm water and then stirring, knocking it back and following with one more glass of warm water. It takes one litre of water to hydrate one gram of Konjac, so drink plenty.

Slimsticks is being launched at a watershed time in the world of slimming supplements and aids sold across Europe. This is because from December 14 this year new guidelines from the EFSA come into force.  After this date products carrying dubious and unproven slimming claims, not been approved by EFSA will be withdrawn from the market.

Slimsticks has no adverse side effects. Vegans, vegetarians and those suffering from lactose or wheat intolerance, type two Diabetes and Coeliac Disease are safe to take Slimsticks.
