supplements

Your NexSlim physician may recommend pharmaceutical grade supplements which are designed to enhance your weight loss.

There are only two things to keep in mind when you are taking supplements for specific problem areas:

  • Don’t double-dose. Simply take the highest dosage recommended for a given supplement.
  • For best results, take vitamins with food—optimally before or with a meal.

NexSlim utilizes ProThera Supplements, which are CGMP certified and have been trusted by healthcare professionals for over 50 years. Following is a description of supplements which may be recommended to enhance your weight loss program:

VitaPrime

Iron-free two-per-day multivitamin

Compared to common over-the-counter multivitamin products delivered in one tablet daily, VitaPrime® offers enhanced antioxidant protection, broader trace element nutrition, and augmented B-vitamin support. This core foundation of essential nutrients thus provides an extra measure of nutritional protection that can be recommended for daily use. A clear, water-soluble cellulose coating protects the stability of the nutritional ingredients and makes the tablets easy to swallow. Each batch is tested using USP protocols to ensure tablet disintegration time of 45 minutes or less to help maximize nutrient bioavailability.

Suggested Use: 1 tablet twice daily with food



TheraSlim

Natural starch-neutralizing agent

Carbohydrates are often maligned for those trying to lose weight. Yet, avoiding starchy foods is very difficult for many patients. And, avoiding complex carbohydrates also means that an important nutritional component of a healthy diet that adds dietary fiber, B-vitamins, and trace elements may be missing. Diets too low in carbohydrates can also depress serotonin levels and mood. Too often, patients resort to fatty or sugary foods to feel satiated. With TheraSlim™, patients can eat pasta, bread, rice, potatoes, and other complex carbohydrates as part of a balanced diet. TheraSlim™ contains Phase 2 Starch Neutralizer®, a natural, non-stimulant adjunct for weight management that allows patients to eat complex carbohydrates yet limit their caloric contribution. Phase 2® is an all natural extract from the white kidney bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L. Supported by a substantial body of competent and reliable scientific evidence (including 14 clinical investigations), Phase 2 Starch Neutralizer® may reduce the enzymatic digestion of dietary starches. Two capsules of TheraSlim™ at least twice a day, taken before starchy meals or a snack, may assist in weight control when used in conjunction with a sensible diet and exercise program.

Suggested Use: 2 capsules before each meal



SpectraFiber

Multi-source & bran-free

SpectraFiber™ combines purified and whole food plant concentrates containing a broad-spectrum of natural soluble fiber components with wide-ranging actions. SpectraFiber™ can be used to help boost soluble fiber intake in a concentrated, easy-to-take capsule form. Unlike many common bulk fiber supplements, SpectraFiber™ contains no bran, cereal grains or psyllium seed that some patients find irritating to the GI tissues or may need to avoid due to allergic reactions.

Suggested Use: 1 to 6 capsules daily with meals



OmegaThera

A unique mix of omega-3, 6 and 9 fatty acids plus CLA

This mixed fatty acid supplement supplies important omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids that are often difficult to obtain from the diet by combining four nutritional oils in one formula. OmegaThera™ was formulated to favor omega-3 fatty acids over omega-6 fatty acids to help maintain a healthy fatty acid ratio when added to typical diets that tend to be too low in omega-3. Omega-3 fatty acids are present as alpha-linolenic acid, an essential dietary fatty acid, as well as EPA and DHA, activated forms of omega-3 known for their ability to support a variety of physiological processes, including regulation of inflammation, immune function, lipoprotein metabolism and brain function. Omega-6 fatty acids are also supplied in several important forms including linoleic acid (LA), an essential dietary fatty acid, and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), the activated form of omega-6 whose conversion from LA may be compromised by poor diet and other factors. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a variant of linoleic acid, favorably influences fat metabolism and offers unique cell protective benefits. Oleic acid, an omega-9 fatty acid, is also present as a natural constituent of flax seed oil. OmegaThera™ combines concentrated amounts of key nutritional fatty acids derived from premium plant seeds and ultra-pure fish oil in one convenient product. Natural carob coloring and vitamin E are added to the softgel to maintain freshness by protecting against fatty acid oxidation.

Suggested Use: 1 to 2 softgels daily with food
