Let's Go Natural

BMI – Body Mass Index Capsules

Ingredients: Propolis, Perilla, Korean Ginseng, Kudzu Root, Holy Basil, Olive Leaf, Quercetin, Bromelain, Green Tea, Black Pepper, L-Carnitine

Who is it for?

Adults seeking targeted, natural support for weight management and body composition, aiming to mobilise stored fat, support metabolic balance, curb cravings, and sustain steady energy alongside a sensible diet and regular movement.

Health Benefits Summary

BMI combines botanicals, enzymes, and nutraceuticals that work on three levels: (1) supporting fat metabolism and oxidation (green tea catechins, L-carnitine), (2) helping regulate appetite, glucose, and inflammatory load that can hinder fat loss (holy basil, olive leaf, quercetin, bromelain), and (3) boosting bioavailability and synergy (black pepper) while offering antioxidant defence (perilla, propolis). The result is a practical, multi-faceted approach to maintaining fat-loss momentum without losing essential body fat, while encouraging steadier energy and metabolic resilience.

Health Benefits Detailed

Fat metabolism & oxidation
How it Helps: Encourages the body to use fat for fuel and supports gradual reductions in fat mass.
Why it works: Catechins with mild caffeine increase thermogenesis; L-carnitine shuttles fatty acids into mitochondria for oxidation.

Craving control & appetite balance
How it Helps: Helps reduce “sweet-tooth” urges and late-day snacking; supports satiety.
Why it works: Bitters/aromatics influence gut–brain signalling; steadier glucose and stress responses reduce rebound hunger.

Metabolic balance (glucose & lipids)
How it Helps: Supports healthier fasting/post-meal glucose and triglyceride/HDL-LDL balance.
Why it works: Polyphenols and adaptogens aid insulin signalling, bile flow, and lipid handling.

Energy & exercise readiness
How it Helps: Promotes cleaner, steadier energy for daily tasks and workouts.
Why it works: Mitochondrial co-factors (L-carnitine) combined with gentle central nervous system support (ginseng, green tea) enhance metabolic efficiency.

Inflammation & oxidative stress buffering
How it Helps: Calms low-grade inflammation and protects cells during weight-loss efforts.
Why it works: Flavonoids, phenolics, and thiol donors modulate inflammatory pathways and neutralise free radicals.

Key Ingredients Benefits

• Propolis (bee resin)
How it Helps: Supports weight-management efforts and metabolic health while providing antioxidant defence.
Why it works: Propolis polyphenols modulate adipose signalling and may promote thermogenesis; human meta-analyses suggest modest improvements in weight/BMI.
Research:

• Perilla (Perilla frutescens)
How it Helps: Assists in maintaining cardio-metabolic balance and controlling oxidative stress while reducing calorie intake.
Why it works: Alpha-linolenic acid and polyphenols support lipid metabolism and reduce oxidised LDL.
Research:

• Korean Ginseng (Panax ginseng)
How it Helps: Supports energy, exercise tolerance, and metabolic balance (weight outcomes vary by individual).
Why it works: Ginsenosides influence stress–metabolism crosstalk, glucose handling, and gut microbiota.
Research:

• Kudzu Root (Pueraria lobata; puerarin)
How it Helps: Emerging support for healthier body composition and insulin sensitivity.
Why it works: Puerarin activates AMPK and shifts gut microbiota (for example, Akkermansia) linked to adiposity control.
Research:

• Holy Basil (Tulsi) (Ocimum tenuiflorum)
How it Helps: Helps curb stress-related eating and supports BMI, lipid balance, and glucose control.
Why it works: Adaptogenic actions modulate cortisol and glycemic responses that drive cravings and fat storage.
Research:

• Olive Leaf (oleuropein) (Olea europaea)
How it Helps: Assists in reductions in body weight and fat mass with a calorie-restricted diet.
Why it works: Oleuropein supports lipid oxidation, adipocyte signalling, and insulin sensitivity.
Research:

• Quercetin (flavonol)
How it Helps: Antioxidant support for metabolic health; human weight-loss findings are mixed.
Why it works: Modulates adipogenesis, inflammation, carbohydrate digestion, and insulin signalling.
Research:

• Bromelain (pineapple proteolytic enzymes)
How it Helps: Eases inflammatory load and supports digestive comfort during weight management.
Why it works: Protease activity modulates cytokines and oedema; lab models show anti-adipogenic effects.
Research:

• Green Tea (catechins/EGCG) (Camellia sinensis)
How it Helps: Supports modest reductions in body weight, BMI, and visceral fat (best with diet/exercise).
Why it works: Catechins plus caffeine increase thermogenesis and fat oxidation.
Research:

• Black Pepper (piperine)
How it Helps: Enhances absorption of key actives (for example, curcumin, catechins) and may support thermogenesis with other spices.
Why it works: Inhibits intestinal efflux and glucuronidation to raise plasma levels of co-nutrients.
Research:

• L-Carnitine
How it Helps: Supports fat transport into mitochondria, aiding modest reductions in body weight, BMI, and fat mass.
Why it works: Facilitates the entry of long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria, thereby improving metabolic flexibility and energy production.
Research:

Dosage

• Prevention: 1 capsule daily
• Maintenance: 1 capsule twice daily
• Therapeutic: 3 capsules daily

Warnings & Interactions

• Not for pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Caffeine sensitivity: contains green tea; may cause jitteriness or insomnia in sensitive users.
• Bleeding risk: bromelain and ginseng may increase bleeding tendency—use caution with anticoagulants/antiplatelets.
• Blood sugar & pressure medicines: holy basil, olive leaf, ginseng may enhance glucose- or blood-pressure-lowering effects—monitor and consult your clinician.
• Drug absorption: black pepper (piperine) may increase some drug levels—separate by 2+ hours and seek advice if on chronic medication.
• Allergy: avoid if allergic to bee products (propolis).
• Discontinue if any adverse reaction occurs.
