Your Wellbeing
Simply Slim and Water Intake

It is recommended that you drink as much as possible of your additional water intake within 6 hours of taking your Simply Slim capsule. In general you should at least double your water intake to the volume it was prior to using Simply Slim.

 
Simply Slim and female hormones:
As one gets older, the balance between female hormones changes and most systems in the human body work slower.  It is possible that post-menopausal women may loose weight at a slower rate than younger females. This is unfortunately a fact of nature.
 
Will Simply Slim work for me if I have thyroid problems?

Your thyroid produces hormones that are responsible for the rate at which cells work or the rate of metabolism.  If these hormones in people who take thyroid hormone replacement are on the lower side of the normal values, Simply Slim will work slower and not give expected results as far as weight loss is concerned.

If you have known thyroid issues, we recommend that you first discuss your latest laboratory results for the thyroid (TSH, T3 and T4) with Simply Slim's Wellness Centre before making a decision to use the product.

 
How does Simply Slim work?

The ingredient in Simply Slim that produces the active chemical is the bigarade orange and the molecule is Synephrine.

It is a beta 3 adrenoreceptor agonist – meaning that it has a stimulating effect on beta 3 binding places in the body.  Beta 3 binding places are found on adipose tissue (fat cells).  Basically Simply Slim opens a gate in the wall of the fat cell through which water and glycerol moves to the outside of the cell, where the lymphatic system is responsible to remove any matter that is outside of these cells.

Simply Slim also has a serotonergic effect in the brain and stimulates the satisfaction centre of the brain that leads to the user feeling full with less food intake and thereby reducing intake of energy that if too much, is converted and stored as fat.

 
What is Synephrine?

Synephrine is derived from citrus aurantium or also known as Bitter Orange, bigarade orange and Seville orange.  It is also known as oxedrine.  It is a beta 3 adrenoreceptor agonist.  It replaced Ephedra in slimming products after Ephedra was banned in the USA.

Chemical structure:

syne1

4-[1-hydroxy-2-(methylamino)ethyl]phenol

 
What is Ephedra?

Ephedra has been used as a herbal remedy in traditional Chinese medicine for throusands of years and comes mainly from the plant Ephedra sinica.  It is known in Chinese as ma huang and acts as a vasoconstrictor that increases heart rate and blood pressure.  The active chemicals are ephedrine and pseudoephedrine.

 
What is Pseudoephedrine?

Pseudoephedrine is a psychedelic phenthyl amine, a diastereomer of ephedrine with sympathomimetic activity. It is derived from various plants in the genus Ephedra. It is commonly used as a decongestant and is marketed in both a hydrochloride and sulphate form. It works on adrenergic receptors but its main action is to release endogenous noradrenaline from vesicles in the presynaptic neuron.

It has distinct effects on the cardiovascular system.

It was rescheduled to a Schedule 6 medicine in May 2008 in RSA.

Chemical structure:

pseudo1pseudo2

(1S,2S)-2-methylamino-1-phenylpropan-1-ol

 
What is Ephedrine?

Ephedrine is a phenyl ethyl amine with sympathomimetic activity and is commonly used as a stimulant, appetite suppressant, concentration aid, decongestant, and to treat hypotension associated with anaesthesia.  The structure of Ephedrine is similar to the semi-synthetic derivatives amphetamine and methamphetamine. Chemically, it is an alkaloid.  It is derived from various plants in the genus Ephedra. It is marketed in the hydrochloride and sulphate forms.  It works on adrenergic receptors of the sympathetic nervous system.  Mostly it works pre-synaptic where the neuron can not distinguish it from adrenaline or nor-adrenaline.

It has distinct effects on the cardiovascular system.

It was rescheduled to a Schedule 6 medicine in May 2008 in RSA.

Chemical structure:

ephedrine1

ephedrine2

(1R,2S)-2-(methylamino)-1-phenylpropan-1-ol
