Possible 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
Servings per container: 90
