DAILY NUTRITION – Increased daily fibre intake

Most people are only consuming around half of the recommended daily 30g of fibre.

WEIGHT LOSS & APPETITE CONTROL

Meno Weight contains a combination of nutrients that support weight loss and appetite control.

Glucomannan promotes control of energy intake and reduces the risk of developing obesity and studies show it can result in significant weight loss in overweight and obese individuals.

HORMONE BALANCE

Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormone activity.

METABOLISM

Meno Weight contains nutrients to support energy yielding metabolism and the production of thyroid hormones and thyroid function; normal lipid metabolism; normal carbohydrate; macronutrient metabolism & metabolism of fatty acids.

STRESS & MOOD

Iodine, Zinc and L-Tyrosine all contribute to normal cognitive function to help support menopause brain fog.

Adaptogen Siberian Ginseng also helps the body manage both physical and mental stress by adapting the stress response and regulating the body both up and down as required.

DIGESTIVE & CONSTIPATION SUPPORT

Glucomannan is a source of soluble fibre and supports a happy digestive system and popular for help with constipation.

ENERGY LEVELS

Meno Weight contains Vitamin B6 to help reduce tiredness & fatigue. Plus traditionally used energising herbals Caffeine and Guarana 

FREE FROM SUPPLEMENT

Under 10 calories per serving. Natural and free from artificial nasties. Vegan and gluten free.

HERBALS CAPSICUM & GREEN TEA

Studies show that Green Tea and Capsicum may be helpful in reducing energy (calorie) intake and supporting weight loss periods by sustaining satiety and suppressing hunger.

Furthermore, a 2016 randomized, double blind study demonstrated that 12 weeks treatment with high dose (857 mg EGCG) green tea (GT) extract resulted in significant weight loss in women with central obesity. 

GLUCOMANNAN

High in dietary fibre, Glucomannan is also especially effective for weight loss and weight management.

At the correct dose it can result in significant weight loss in overweight and obese individuals.

APPROVED WEIGHT LOSS SUPPLEMENT

It is one of a handful of supplements approved by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to support weight loss (in the context of a calorie controlled diet).

It’s a natural water soluble fibre extracted from the Konjac plant with an exceptional ability to absorb water up to 50 times its weight.

It works by absorbing water in your stomach and then gently expands.

For weight loss benefits glucomannan needs to be taken before meals.

Timings will vary per individual and recommended ranges are from 15 minutes to 1 hour before meals.  

Glucomannan differs from most other soluble fibres, it is exceptionally viscous, making it particularly effective for weight loss.

6 ways Glucomannan promotes weight loss:

1. Leaves you feeling naturally full (satiety) and satisfied as it takes up space in the stomach, helping reduce food intake.

2. It delays stomach emptying, keeping you feeling fuller for longer, decreasing hunger and the urge to snack

3. It’s very low in calories

4. It reduces the absorption of protein and fat

5. It also feeds the friendly bacteria in your intestine, which turn it into short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, which have shown to protect against fat gain in some animal studies.

6. Feeding your gut bacteria may also have other benefits. Studies have shown a correlation between body weight and altered gut bacteria.

Reduction in body weight is obtained with a daily intake of 3 g of glucomannan in three doses of 1 g each, together with 1-2 glasses of water, before meals and in the context of an energy-restricted diet. 

HOW MUCH WEIGHT LOSS CAN BE ACHIEVED

Studies indicate that consumption of an additional 14 g/day fibre for >2 days is associated with a 10% decrease in energy intake and body weight loss of 1.9 kg over 3.8 months.

Furthermore, obese individuals may exhibit a greater suppression of energy intake and body weight loss (mean energy intake in all studies was reduced to 82% by higher fibre intake in overweight/obese people versus 94% in lean people; body weight loss was 2.4 kg versus 0.8 kg). 

Another study of obese patients showed a significant mean weight loss (5.5 lbs) using glucomannan over an eight-week period.

A study of healthy but overweight people were put on a 1200kcal calorie-restricted diet and assigned either a glucomannan supplement or a placebo.

The study found that those taking glucomannan induced significantly more weight reduction than the placebo.

During a 5 week period the glucomannan users lost between 8-10 lbs whereas the placebo group lost between 4-6lbs.

HEART DISEASE

Glucomannan may improve some heart disease risk factors.

It contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels with a daily intake of 4g.  glucomannan

According to a systematic review of 14 studies, glucomannan can lower:

• Total cholesterol by 19 mg/dL (0.5 mmol/L).
• “Bad” LDL cholesterol by 16 mg/dL (0.4 mmol/L).
• Triglycerides by 11 mg/dL (0.12 mmol/L).
• Fasting blood sugar by 7.4 mg/dL (0.4 mmol/L).

It primarily reduces blood cholesterol by decreasing the absorption of cholesterol in the gut.

According to this research, glucomannan has the potential to lower the risk of developing heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormone activity.

 Zinc contributes to normal testosterone levels.

Iodine contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones & thyroid function (which controls our metabolism)

Choline contributes to the maintenance of normal liver function

Glucomannan is a source of soluble fibre and supports a happy digestive system.

It’s widely used for bloating & constipation, with its ability to decrease digestive transit time and is classed as a “bulk-forming laxative.  

Glucomannan also support normal cholesterol levels when taken 4g daily
