Contraindications:
Pregnancy
Suggested Use:
Take 1-2 tablets, once or twice daily, or as directed by your health
practitioner.
Commentary:
Trim Support gently detoxifies the body, supporting proper nutrition and
metabolic function. Weight gain may be caused by a combination of
various factors including diet, lifestyle, genetics and low digestive
fire. Improperly digested food creates toxins that coat the digestive
tract, inhibiting absorption and leading to the accumulation of fat in
the tissues. Trim Support gently scrapes these toxins from the system
while enkindling the digestive fire, allowing proper digestion,
absorption and assimilation. When combined with exercise and proper
diet, Trim Support can help one achieve optimal weight. Excess kapha in
the form of fat and water can be successfully reduced as Trim Support
contributes to stronger pancreatic, splenic, hepatic and renal
functions. Strengthening and cleansing these organs may lead to a more
efficient metabolism and regular elimination. In addition, cravings and
addictions to sugar may be tempered, as the body receives the deeper
nourishment it needs from proper absorption and assimilation of
nutrients.
Notes:
For obesity with hyperglycemia, consider Sweet Ease
For excess kapha with low agni, use in conjunction with Trikatu
Supplement Facts:
Serving size: 1 tablet
