Brief Summary  
Overweight and obesity are growing health problems all over the world. It is a direct result of food-intake in excess of body energy expenditure. An alternative strategy for the induction of increased energy expenditure is via the activation of thermogenic cells that utilize fat to produce heat with the help of herbal supplements. It is a safe and cost-effective method of weight reduction for many overweight and obese individuals.
Slimilyn consists of various herbal extracts in combination with minerals and amino acids. As per pre-clinical and clinical studies reported earlier, it was found to be safe for consumption. It has been postulated, Slimilyn helps in the management of weight loss. This is a double blind, randomized, placebo controlled clinical trial for
the evaluation of weight loss, safety, and tolerability of Slimilyn® in overweight and obese volunteers.
