When supporting metabolic health, it is important to consider not only diet but also the role of:
- stress
- nervous system
- blood sugar balance
- emotional eating
- energy metabolism
In naturopathy, these aspects are often considered to be closely related.
For this reason, the EquiSlim formula was developed based on a neuro-metabolic approach, in which various ingredients work in synergy with one another.
One of the most interesting combinations is that of magnesium bisglycinate and GABA.
Magnesium Bisglycinate: Energy and the Nervous System
Magnesium bisglycinate is a chelated* form characterized by good bioavailability and good intestinal tolerability.
*chelated form = a mineral chemically bound to an organic substance.
Magnesium helps:
- normal energy metabolism
- to reduce tiredness and fatigue
- the functioning of the nervous system
- normal muscle function
From a formulation standpoint, its use is particularly interesting in formulas designed to support metabolism and neurofunctional balance.
GABA: Support for Autonomic Nervous System Relaxation
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a neurotransmitter that plays a physiological role in the regulatory mechanisms of the nervous system.
In nutraceutical formulations, it is often included in formulas designed for:
- mental relaxation
- stress management
- autonomic nervous system balance
The combination of GABA and magnesium makes it possible to create a more balanced formulation in cases where stress and diet are closely linked.
Griffonia and Ashwagandha: Support for Emotional Balance
The EquiSlim formula is enriched with:
- Griffonia simplicifolia
- Ashwagandha
- Rhodiola rosea
Griffonia is naturally rich in 5-HTP, a precursor to serotonin, and is often used in formulations designed to support mood balance.
Ashwagandha, on the other hand, is an adaptogen used to support the body's physiological response to stress.
Rhodiola rosea is traditionally used in formulations designed to support physical and mental endurance.
From a formulation standpoint, these ingredients work together to create a synergy designed to support mental and physical well-being.
Green Tea, Fenugreek, and Chromium: Metabolic Support
The formula also contains:
- Green tea
- Fenugreek
- Chromium picolinate
Chromium contributes to the normal metabolism of macronutrients and to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels.
Green tea is traditionally used in formulations designed to support energy metabolism.
Fenugreek is often included in formulations designed to promote a balanced diet.
This combination makes it possible to create a more comprehensive metabolic formula that is consistent with an integrated naturopathic approach.
A Systemic Formulative Approach
In naturopathy, metabolism is not considered an isolated process.
Stress, mental energy, nervous system balance, blood sugar levels, and eating behavior can all influence one another.
For this reason, EquiSlim was formulated using a systemic approach: it does not focus solely on metabolism, but also supports neurofunctional and energetic well-being at the same time.
Frequently Asked Questions
GABA is a neurotransmitter involved in the physiological mechanisms that regulate the nervous system and is often used in formulations designed to promote mental relaxation.
Magnesium and GABA are often combined in formulations designed to support autonomic nervous system balance because they act on complementary aspects of the nervous system.
Yes. Chromium contributes to the normal metabolism of macronutrients and to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels.
