1 Active Ingredients in SlimRoast Coffee: Garcinia Cambogia An incredibly efficient ingredient to assist fat reduction around organs. This pure ingredient is 100% natural; it is sometimes referred to as Tamarind. Its primary ingredient is the dietary super supplement known as HCA, which is proven in scientific studies to reduce hunger. Cacao Organic, raw cacao is a super food containing a variety of unique phytonutrients, including high amounts of sulphur, magnesium and phenylethylamine. These characteristics provide many benefits, such as focus and alertness, while also keeping you in a great mood. These properties help in the reduction of stress and also increase the sensation of fullness, reducing hunger and cravings. Cacao contains MAO (monoamine oxidase enzyme inhibitor) which is able to reduce appetite by increasing serotonin and other neurotransmitters in the brain that help to decrease appetite and hunger. L-Theanine Theanine is an amino acid found in green tea, which is reported to help weight management. Studies have found that weight gain can occur in people who are emotionally stressed. This is a biological response of our metabolism and can lead to cravings and overconsumption of food. When stressed, some people produce increasing amounts of a hormone called cortisol. This is a natural response that is intended to help in survival, which as a consequence also leads to increased fat storage. Theanine helps

2 neutralise stress, by reducing anxiety and improving the quality of sleep. It is reported to increase alpha waves in the brain, which relaxes the mind. Phaseolamin ( Blocks key starch digesting carbs, meaning carbs pass through the body) This ingredient combines with an enzyme in the body called alphaamylase which is involved in the digestion of starch and helps to temporarily block its activities. Alpha-amylase is secreted in saliva and is produced in the pancreas, and is responsible for breaking down starch into simple sugars, which can then be absorbed in the small intestine. Blocking this digestive enzyme prevents the digestion of carbohydrates, which means they are able to pass largely undigested through the gastrointestinal tract. The end result is a decrease in the number of calories absorbed. Phenylethylamine HCL Also known as PEA, Beta-Phenylethylamine or 2- Phenylethylamine, is a supplement used for cognitive enhancement, mood improvement, weight control, and as a concentration aid. It naturally occurs within the nervous systems of humans and other mammals, where it is thought to act as a type of neuromodulator. Within the human brain it causes the release of norepinephrine and dopamine, two very powerful brain chemicals involved in attention and alertness. PEA is contained in chocolate and has been affectionately referred to as the love drug, since it is released by our brains when we have feelings of romantic love. This is also what helps us to feel more alert and have a greater sense of well-being and contentment.

3 Green Tea 100:1 Extract (Enhances thinking and alertness, boosts energy) Green tea contains 2% to 4% caffeine, which affects thinking and alertness, increases urine output, and may improve the function of brain messengers. Caffeine is thought to stimulate the nervous system, heart, and muscles by increasing the release of certain chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters. Antioxidants and other substances in green tea have been shown in studies to help protect the heart and blood vessels additionally. Chromium Polynicotinate body. Chromium Polynicotinate often reffered to as just CP, is a mineral which has been reported as stabilising blood sugar levels and helping synthesise cholesterol, fats and proteins. Reports show it can also help build lean body muscle, bind minerals to niacin vitamin B3, binds insulin to cell membrane receptor sites and help metabolise glucose to energise the Chlorogenic Acid (The primary ingredient in Green Coffee Beans) It holds promise similar to bioflavonoids and shares some effects similar to caffeine, but less potent. Studies show that Chlorogenic Acid may also decrease the absorption of dietary carbohydrate, as well as provide anti-oxidant and antiinflammatory benefits.

4 Premium Dark Brazilian Arabica Coffee High-quality Brazilian Coffee is beautifully fragrant, sweet and round, has a slight and pleasant acidity, with just a mild hint of bitterness. Additional Ingredients HIGH OLEIC SUNFLOWER OIL (which includes) Choline A macronutrient that s important for liver function, normal brain development, nerve function, muscle movement, supporting energy levels and maintaining a healthy metabolism. Choline is present in the form of phosphatidycholine, a compound that makes up the structural component of fat, and thus can be found in different types of foods that naturally contain certain fats. Choline plays a part in several important processes within the body that are carried out hundreds of times, every single day. Choline is a water soluble nutrient that is related to other vitamins, such as folate and those in the B vitamin complex family. Just like B vitamins, choline plays a similar role in terms of supporting energy and brain function, as well as keeping the metabolism active. What is choline most beneficial for? Choline helps in the process of methylation, which is used to create DNA, for nerve signalling, and for detoxification. It s also important for the functioning of a key neurotransmitter called acetylcholine, which similarly helps nerves to communicate and muscles to move, acts as an anti-aging neurotransmitter, and performs other basic processes. Choline is not actually considered a mineral or a vitamin, but is known to be an essential micronutrient needed for many functions of the body, especially for brain function. So while at this time there isn t an official Daily Value Recommendation for Choline established by the USDA, it s important to avoid a choline deficiency to help support various systems throughout the body, including the nervous, endocrine, digestive and reproductive systems.

5 Inositol Found in high concentrations in the brain where it facilitates communication between the billions of brain cells. Neurotransmitters rely on inositol to relay messages. Just as you can t talk on your smartphone when there s no signal, neurotransmitters can t do their jobs when there s no inositol. And neurotransmitters play a major role in most aspects of your life mood, productivity, ability to handle stress, ability to learn and remember, sleep, cravings, addictions, and more. Because inositol is a part of so many brain chemical systems, it can help a wide array of mental health conditions. Linoleic Acid Linoleic acid, or omega-6 fatty acid, and linolenic acid, or omega-3 fatty acid, are the two essential fatty acids. They are termed as essential because the body cannot synthesize them and needs to obtain them from the diet. A lack of either of the two leads to ill health and causes deficiency symptoms to develop. Functions of Linolenic Acid As reported in the Manual of Dietetic Practice, linolenic acid is essential for normal growth and development. In the body, linolenic acid is used to make substances called eicosanoids, which regulate inflammation. Linolenic acid is also a component of cell membranes and is converted to the longer chain omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid, or EPA, and docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA. The omega-3 fatty acids deliver numerous health benefits, according to the National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements. EPA and DHA, the long chain derivatives of linolenic acid, have been associated with a number of health benefits. For example, in regard to cardiac health, these omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to protect against coronary heart disease, sudden cardiac death and heart failure, possibly through anti-arrhythmic, anti-thrombotic, anti-atherosclerotic and anti-inflammatory mechanisms, as reported in the 2009 issue of Current Pharmaceutical Design. Other benefits that the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine attributes to these omega-3 fatty acids include control of inflammation in arthritic conditions and protection against neurodegenerative diseases Acacia Gum Acacia gum has been used in pharmaceuticals as a demulcent. It is used topically for healing wounds and has been shown to inhibit the growth of periodontic bacteria and the early deposition of plaque. It s a good source of fiber.acacia is known as a good source of dietary fiber because it contains about 90 percent soluble fiber. This type of fiber, which dissolves in water, is

6 an important part of your diet. It helps the digestive system run smoothly and reduces the risk of heart disease and diabetes. It can help with digestive issues.fiber can help alleviate constipation and discomfort associated with digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). However, fiber content may not be the only reason acacia is good for the digestive system. The sap may also be a prebiotic, which means it can help to feed the good bacteria in the intestines. A study found that yogurt with added acacia fiber was more effective in reducing IBS symptoms than regular yogurt. It might have a future in diabetes management. Some claim that acacia supplements can help control your blood sugar. While there s little clinical evidence to support that, it s known that dietary fiber plays an important role in regulating blood sugar in those with type 2 diabetes. Silicon Dioxide (Silica) Created by crushing or milling it from natural sources. Depending on its form, amorphous silica has a wide range of uses and can be found in many products. Its appearance in food can be due to multiple reasons. Amorphous silica absorbs excess moisture and prevents ingredients from sticking together when supplements are exposed to moist or humid conditions without interfering with the active ingredients The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency placed silicon dioxide in Toxicity Category III, which is the second lowest degree of the toxicity rating scale. Silicon dioxide and silicates have had a history of use in food without detrimental effects. D-Alpha Tocopherols This is natural vitamin E. Vitamin E is found naturally in some foods, added to others, and available as a dietary supplement. "Vitamin E" is the collective name for a group of fat-soluble compounds with distinctive antioxidant activities. Naturally occurring vitamin E exists in eight chemical forms (alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherol and alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocotrienol) that have varying levels of biological activity. Alpha- (or α-) tocopherol is the only form that is recognized to meet human requirements. Serum concentrations of vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) depend on the liver, which takes up the nutrient after the various forms are absorbed from the small intestine. The liver preferentially resecretes only alpha-tocopherol via the hepatic alpha-tocopherol transfer protein; the liver metabolizes and excretes the other vitamin E forms. Antioxidants protect cells from the damaging effects of free radicals, which are molecules that contain an unshared electron. Free radicals damage cells and might contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease and cancer. Unshared electrons are highly energetic and react rapidly with

7 oxygen to form reactive oxygen species (ROS). The body forms ROS endogenously when it converts food to energy, and antioxidants might protect cells from the damaging effects of ROS. The body is also exposed to free radicals from environmental exposures, such as cigarette smoke, air pollution, and ultraviolet radiation from the sun. ROS are part of signalling mechanisms among cells. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that stops the production of ROS formed when fat undergoes oxidation. Scientists are investigating whether, by limiting free-radical production and possibly through other mechanisms, vitamin E might help prevent or delay the chronic diseases associated with free radicals. In addition to its activities as an antioxidant, vitamin E is involved in immune function and, as shown primarily by in vitro studies of cells, cell signaling, regulation of gene expression, and other metabolic processes.
