Benefits

Body Weight and BMI Reduction

RCT (n=140 overweight adults, 16 weeks) showed Slendacor 900 mg/day with caloric-restricted diet produced significant body weight, BMI, and waist circumference reductions vs placebo.

Waist Circumference / Visceral Fat

Same trial showed visceral fat-related waist reduction. Health-relevant metabolic benefit beyond simple weight loss.

Body Composition Improvements

Reductions in fat mass markers; complementary to caloric deficit and exercise.

Multi-Botanical Mechanism

Three botanicals work via complementary mechanisms — comprehensive approach to weight management challenges.

Standardized Proprietary Formulation

Kemin's proprietary blend ensures consistent dose-response; specific clinical evidence on this combination.

Mechanism of action

1

Moringa oleifera Activity

Moringa leaves provide polyphenols, isothiocyanates (similar to broccoli), and other bioactives; documented metabolic and anti-inflammatory effects.

2

Murraya koenigii (Curry Leaf) Activity

Curry leaves contain alkaloids (mahanimbine, koenimbine), polyphenols; documented effects on lipid metabolism and oxidative stress.

3

Curcuma longa (Turmeric) Activity

Turmeric rhizome provides curcuminoids (curcumin) and other polyphenols; documented anti-inflammatory and metabolic effects.

4

Combined Anti-Inflammatory and Metabolic

Three botanicals provide combined anti-inflammatory and metabolic effects — synergistic approach to weight management.

Supports Body Weight/BMI Reduction and Waist Circumference/Visceral Fat claims; the evidence is on LI85008F, the three-botanical formulation (Moringa + Murraya + Curcuma) marketed as Slendacor; note that both human RCTs come from a single industry-affiliated research group (Laila Nutraceuticals) with no independent replication.

Supports Multi-Botanical Mechanism and Body Composition Improvements claims at the related-botanical level; animal study, not a human clinical trial of Slendacor.
