Slenderpops: Ingredients & Benefits Opuntia Cactus: Fruit & Leaf A combination of highly concentrated extracts from the rare cactus fruit Opuntia Ficus Indica Sisel formulated SlenderPOPs with a powerful 100% natural, patented water mobilizing extract from the Opuntia cactus fruit, loaded with quick acting powerful fat-flushing diuretic support properties for rapid weight loss.
Scientists theorize that because this rare exotic cactus lives in extremely dry desert regions, it has developed a unique biochemical system to regulate water and protect against extreme drought. Researchers postulate this amazing natural extract may have a similar affect on the human body.
Clinical studies on Opuntia fruit extract have been shown to support: • Fast fat-flushing diuretic activity • Positive effect on body composition (fat/lean mass) • Positive effect on the silhouette contouring appearance • Mineral balance preservation • Detoxification action and antioxidant protection Clinical Studies and Abstracts: Abstract on Opuntia
Extraordinary fiber complex with powerful fat binding properties Thanks to a patented process, Sisel included a unique extract also derived from Opuntia ficus indica cactus leaves in SlenderPops. This amazing bioextract supports "fat-binding" and "fat-flushing" activity, attracting and bonding to fats until much of it is excreted from the body. Traditionally, fat binders used for weight loss in the past have often failed or performed poorly because the fat they attach to is released prematurely into the intestine when the pH chemistry in the intestine changes. This released fat is then able to be absorbed into the body, making most fat and carb binders ineffective. The fat binding fiber from this rare cactus extract used in SlenderPops does not release the fat during transport through the digestive system as others do. Rather, it encapsulates and strongly binds to fat and encapsulates it until it is released completely from the body.
This powerful fat binding extract has been clincally tested and has been shown to support:
• Reduction of fat absorption into the body • Decrease in fat by more than 28% • Increase in fat excretion on an average of 27% • Positive influence on Syndrome X affecting weight gain
Hoodia Used instead of taking food on hunting trips, South African bushmen rely on Hoodia to suppress hunger and alleviate thirst. Sucking on pieces of Hoodia plant along the way is often chosen over carrying food which makes them better able to weather the affects of their environment. While ingesting Hoodia in a capsule was not very effective, sucking on it seems to be the key. Hoodia is an integral part of the Sisel SlenderPOP Weight Loss Program and may support your body's ability to: • Suppress appetite, sending satisfied messages to the brain • Boost energy levels • Sustain healthy weight management safely with no negative side effects
Xylitol Clinical studies show that supplementing with Xylitol may be beneficial for tooth and gum support. Research clearly established that Xylitol may provide additional help in the battle against tooth decay and plaque accumulation.
Low glycemic, insulin independent natural sweetener GI-13 Shown to prevent bacteria growth on teeth, gums & tongue Research has shown that the use of xylitol also helps repair damage to the enamel. 40% fewer calories and 75% fewer carbohydrates it is perfectly fine as a sweetener for diabetics Xylitol for caries prevention. Peldyak J, Mäkinen KK. Institute of Dentistry, University of Turku, Turku, Finland.
Abstract Xyitol is a naturally occurring sweetener which is essentially not fermentable by the caries-inducive oral microflora. When tested as a sucrose replacer, or even as a small dietary addition, systematic xylitol use leads to impressive reductions in caries incidence. Xylitol is compatible and complementary with all current oral hygiene recommendations. The appealing sensory and functional properties of xylitol facilitate a wide array of applications that promote oral health. Smart Habit Xylitol campaign, a new approach in oral health promotion.

Abstract A national 'Smart Habit' Xylitol campaign was organised in Finland in autumn 1992. The aim of the campaign was to increase consumption of xylitol chewing gum in 13-year-old school children, to promote their oral health. The campaign was conducted in elementary schools in the form of a quiz and lesson related to xylitol. Seventh form children from schools in 12 local health authority areas in 10 provinces took part in the campaign. Six thousand seven hundred children were involved. Data were collected with a series of three separate postal questionnaires. The study group consisted of 1,281 children exposed to the campaign. A control group was formed from 1,227 children in the same provinces not exposed to it. Questionnaires were distributed before and after the campaign. A third one was sent out a month later. A high number of the children had consumed xylitol chewing gum even before the campaign. The majority of the respondents reported no changes in consumption of xylitol chewing gum after meals in the first two questionnaires. The results showed that the consumption of xylitol chewing gum after meals increased more in the group exposed to the campaign than in the control group (P = 0.002). Girls in the study group increased their consumption of xylitol chewing gum more than boys (P = 0.016). Also an increase in the daily use of xylitol chewing gum was achieved by the campaign; differences between the study and the control group being significant (P < 0.05). Even though there was knowledge about the beneficial properties of xylitol beforehand, an increase in knowledge was achieved by the campaign. There seems to be potential for positive oral health promotion by means of this type of xylitol campaign. PMID: 8536087 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
