Clinical Research Skinny Mints

Supports healthy glucose levels*

A clinical study investigated the effects of bitter melon extract on glucose levels and found significant improvements in fasting blood glucose and insulin resistance in participants with type 2 diabetes. The study suggests that bitter melon extract may be beneficial in managing glucose metabolism. Regular consumption of bitter melon extract could potentially support healthy blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes or insulin resistance. ^{[1] [2]} 

Helps reduce cravings & support healthy appetite regulation*

Clinical research has shown that bitter melon extract can help regulate appetite by reducing hunger levels and promoting satiety. In the study, participants who consumed bitter melon extract experienced decreased feelings of hunger and increased feelings of fullness compared to a control group. These findings suggest that bitter melon extract may be beneficial for managing appetite and supporting weight management goals. ^[3] 

Helps boost metabolism*

Clinical research indicates that green tea extract enhances metabolism by increasing energy expenditure and fat oxidation in humans. The study found that catechins in green tea significantly promote thermogenesis and fat oxidation, potentially aiding in weight management. Regular consumption of green tea extract may support metabolic health by boosting calorie burning and fat utilization, making it beneficial for individuals seeking to manage weight effectively. ^{[4] [5]} 

Promotes a flatter stomach*

BPL1 Probiotic Strain: In addition to its role in weight management, BPL1 may contribute to a flatter stomach by improving digestion and reducing bloating through better gut health.

Probiotics, particularly certain strains like Bifidobacterium lactis (BPL1), have been shown to positively influence abdominal fat and overall body composition. The results indicate that probiotics can help reduce visceral fat, which can contribute to a flatter stomach.  ^[6] 

Helps reduce body fat & waist circumference*

The BPL1 probiotic has been studied for its potential to reduce body fat. Clinical trials have shown promising results, indicating that BPL1 supplementation may support metabolic health by enhancing fat metabolism and promoting weight management. This probiotic product is designed to offer a natural approach to improving body composition and metabolic function.

More studies investigated the effects of BPL1, a novel probiotic strain, on body fat reduction in human subjects. Results indicated that supplementation with BPL1 significantly reduced visceral fat area and body weight compared to a placebo group over a 12-week period. Moreover, BPL1 was found to improve lipid profiles and reduce waist circumference, suggesting its potential as a beneficial supplement for managing body fat and improving metabolic health.  ^{[7] [8] [9]}
