Bio-Trim is a combined dietary supplement in the form of tablets formulated to assist with the body's normal metabolism and a reduced craving for sweets and sugar rich food. In contrast to the rapid weight loss achieved via crash dieting (i.e. based on a dramatic reduction in food intake), Bio-Trim with its content of chromium is aimed at supporting normal metabolism and blood sugar, obtained via the manipulation of specific areas of metabolic biochemistry. Bio-Trim contains four active substances, each of which relates to a specific metabolic area.

Bio-Trim with its content of chromium is directed at contributing to the body's normal metabolism of carbohydrates, fat and protein and also contributing to normal blood sugar levels and thereby avoiding cravings for sweets and other rapidly metabolized food.

L-carnitine: This amino acid takes part in utilization of fat within the body, by mediating the transport of fatty acids into muscle tissue, for conversion into energy.

Chromium: This essential mineral supports normal levels of blood sugar and subsequently craving for food with a high sugar content by enhancing the action of the insulin molecule. Insulin affect receptors on the cell's outer surface where chromium affetct the same receptors from the cell's inner surface. This mechanism contributes to a normal metabolism of macronutrients.

Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like substance involved in the production of ATP (cellular energy) as the cells break down the ATP molecules and releases the energy trapped inside. The entire process takes place inside the cells in some small bean-shaped structures named mitochondria. Coenzyme Q10 is found in all mitochondria. Muscle cells are particularly dependent on large amounts of energy, which is why muscle cells contain substantially more mitochondria than other types of cells.

Garcinia cambogia: Garcinia Cambogia also called Brindleberry is a fruit resembling a small pumpkin growing in Southeast Asia, India, and parts of Africa. This fruit contains a well tolerated substance called Hydroxycitric acid (HCA), a derivative of citric acid.

The EU Food Safety Agency (EFSA) has evaluated the evidence behind the product's content of Chromium and Garcinia cambogia and has acknowledged the following statements:

Chromium:

• Contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels
• Contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism

Garcinia cambogia:

• Contributes to the reduction of appetite
• Helps weight control
