WHAT IS SLIMVANCE?
Slimvance is a clinically proven, patented blend of three synergistic botanicals: turmeric, moringa, and curry leaves. This unique trio of ingredients is formulated in a scientifically proven concentration and ratio for weight loss and calorie burning. In pre-clinical and human trials, Slimvance has been shown to help users lose pounds, inches, and burn extra calories. The results of these studies are so impressive that Slimvance is the ONLY ingredient to win “Weight Management Ingredient of the Year” – not once, but twice – by NutraIngredients USA.
WHAT DOES SLIMVANCE DO?
Slimvance has been shown in human clinical trials to result in transformational weight loss when used in conjunction with diet and exercise. Not only does it help shed pounds, it targets the trouble areas around your waist and hips, AND helps to burn more calories (hello, skinny jeans!). With Slimvance’s patented herbal blend you can lose 6x the weight and 3x as many inches over diet and exercise alone. This means you don’t have to give up all your favorite foods (though you do have to eat them in moderation!) or start a hardcore workout routine. Incorporating something as simple as walking 30 minutes a day, five days a week, can kickstart your weight loss when combined with Slimvance. Here’s a quick summary of the incredible Slimvance results.
Slimvance can help you lose weight
- Lose nearly 10 lbs in just 4 months^

Yes, Slimvance does ALL of that. Don’t believe it? Hear from real people who had REAL results.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND SLIMVANCE
Researchers have been investigating Slimvance for over a decade. In fact, GNC scientists worked together with the researchers to bring Slimvance to market. Let’s dig into the scientific journey.
To begin their investigation, researchers conducted an in-vitro study on mouse adipocytes. This involves taking fat cells (or adipocytes) from mice and performing different experiments using Slimvance. The results showed that Slimvance could help with weight loss in two ways: By increasing lipolysis (or the breakdown of fat cells) and by decreasing lipogenesis (or the creation of fat cells) [1].
Now that we understood the mechanisms for how Slimvance could work, three more clinical trials were conducted (but this time in humans). In the first human study, 50 obese subjects took Slimvance or a placebo for 8 weeks and followed a calorie-controlled diet and walked 30 minutes 5 days per week. At the end of the study, subjects who took Slimvance lost more weight than those who took a placebo [2]. In a second human study with 140 subjects, the time frame was doubled to determine the effects of taking Slimvance or a placebo after 16 weeks. Participants were also required to follow an 1800-calorie diet and walk for 30 minutes 5 days per week. At the end of the study, subjects lost an average of 11.7 lbs, which was nearly 10 more pounds than the placebo group. Interestingly, weight loss results began as early as 2 weeks. Not only that, Slimvance users lost an inch more around the waist and hips and had significant improvements in their triglyceride levels compared to the placebo group [3].
In a third study, researchers wanted to investigate the impact of consuming Slimvance in a once daily dose of 900mg (rather than twice daily dosing of 450mg) – to see how it affected metabolic rate and calories burning. In the study, 60 overweight adults took 900mg of Slimvance or a placebo for 7 days. Results showed that subjects who took Slimvance had a significant increase in resting metabolic rate, which equated to burning 175 more calories compared to the placebo group [4].

IS SLIMVANCE A STIMULANT?
What makes Slimvance stand out from other supplement ingredients is that it’s caffeine and stimulant free. So, if you’re sensitive to caffeine and other stimulants the Slimvance Core Slimming Complex Non-Stim is perfect for you because it just contains the proven trio of plants and herbs. On the other hand, if you’re someone who likes a caffeine boost, you can also try Slimvance® Thermogenic.

ꝉ In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 62 healthy adults took a placebo or 900mg of Slimvance® once daily and made no changes to their daily routine for 7-days. At the end of the study, those taking Slimvance® burned on average nearly an extra 175 daily calories vs. the placebo compared to baseline.
^A randomized clinical study of 140 healthy overweight people compared the use of Slimvance® in conjunction with an 1800 calorie diet and walking plan to a placebo with the same diet and walking plan. Those on Slimvance® lost 3 more pounds (-3.7 pounds versus -0.6 pounds) than the placebo group after 4 weeks, 5 more pounds (-6.1 pounds versus -1.07 pounds) than the placebo group after 8 weeks, 7.4 more pounds (-8.88 pounds versus -1.47 pounds) than the placebo group after 12 weeks, almost 10 more pounds (-11.81 pounds vs. -1.91 pounds), lost over an inch more around the hips (-1.76 inches vs. -0.48 inches) and lost over an inch more around the waist (-2.12 inches vs. -0.68 inches) than the placebo group after 16 weeks.
◊Use in conjunction with the Slimvance® diet and exercise program.
‡ Individual was remunerated. Results not typical. Typical Slimvance® users lost 5 more pounds and 1.03 more inches in their waist, and 0.99 more inches in their hips over 8 weeks compared to the placebo group. Both groups used an 1800 calorie diet and exercise plan.
