Every weight loss product likes to have their proprietary blend. It’s the only thing they have to set themselves apart from the millions of other weight loss products on the market. Natural Factors Slimstyles product line has their own blend as well. They call it the PGX blend. PGX is a special fiber they have formulated and tested to promote weight loss through a feeling of fullness and satisfaction after a meal. However, this product also has other ingredients that may help with building muscle and burning fat, rather than limited to eating less as their weight loss strategy.
Ingredients in Natural Factors SlimStyles Weight Loss water Drinks mix with PGX
PGX: This fiber supplement is thought to have more water absorbing and gel forming ability than standard fiber products. The fiber thickens and expands in the stomach as it absorbs water, causing the person to feel full and satisfied on less food. This increased fiber helps keep blood sugar low, decreases cholesterol, decreases total calories consumed, and assists with digestion. Standard dietary fiber, while it does have these same benefits is not enough to promote the benefits at the level PGX can claim.
Whey Protein, 26.1 grams. This ingredient provides 20grams of dietary protein. With the inclusion of protein in this meal replacement drink, essential and non essential amino acids are present to promote muscle growth and recovery. This is important for long term weight loss, as lean muscle burns more calories than fat calories. Protein also helps balance carbohydrates in a particular meal, ensuring there is not a huge influx of insulin after the meal.
Vitamins and Minerals: There are over 15 vitamins and minerals in this product, many of them at more than 50% of the daily value. This drink is a good source of calcium, niacin, B vitamins and potassium.
Medium Chain Triglycerides: Good fat is important in our diet, so as a meal replacement, it is appropriate to see that here. There is 8 grams of fat total in this drink, with 1.5 grams of linoleic acid
