Slimera Overview

We’ve all heard about Garcinia Cambogia. It’s that magic weight loss fruit Dr. Oz talked so much about a few years back. Since then, even though Dr. Oz recommendations have fallen out of favor for the most part, garcinia cambogia continues to be a very popular product. Maybe that means this stuff works. The clinical evidence isn’t in at this point, but the fact that it remains popular after most fads would have dried up makes you wonder if maybe there’s something to it. I bring it up because we’re going to talk about Slimera today. It’s one of a handful of garcinia supplements that’s been popping up on my radar a lot lately.

Slimera makes all the common claims of garcinia supplements. It:

• Blocks carbohydrates from turning into fats, converting them to energy used by the body instead.
• Increases the secretion of Serotonin, the feel good brain chemical. More serotonin can help curb emotional eating.
• Inhibits the formation of new fat cells around the belly.
• Reduces cortisol levels. Cortisol is the stress hormone that causes your body to react to stress in unhealthy ways. Increased cortisol decreases metabolism and encourages your body to hold on to its fat.

Slimera Ingredients and How They Work

The active ingredient in Slimera is the HCA that’s extracted from the garcinia cambogia rind. HCA is Hydroxycitric Acid, and it’s responsible for all the benefits listed above. There has been some clinical testing, but the truth is they haven’t been conclusive. There is no hard evidence that HCA leads to fat loss or weight loss.

Despite the lack of evidence that HCA works, there is a protocol for its use. The recommended concentration is 60%, but the concentration used in Slimera is only 50%. They also usually recommend a dose of 800-1000 mg per day, but we were unable to determine the dosage in Slimera.

Where to Buy Slimera

The only way to purchase Slimera is through their online free trial offer. It’s a very common way for supplements to be sold online, but if you go with one, you need to make sure you understand the terms. Basically, you sign up for a free trial by paying $4.97 for shipping. They send you a full one month supply of Slimera. You have 14 days from the day you order to decide if you want to keep using it. If you do nothing, they charge you the full price of $84.97 and sign you up to receive a new bottle at that same price every month. If you don’t want to sign up, you need to make sure to call them, before the 14 day trial period is up. Believe it or not, it’s legal. But it’s sneaky for sure, and a lot of people get caught in these scams.

Slimera Pros and Cons

Advantages of Slimera

• The ingredients are said to be all natural.

Disadvantages of Slimera

• The ingredients are not fully disclosed.
• The concentration of HCA may be too low.
• It’s only available through the free trial scam, and it’s very expensive in the end.

Conclusion

Garcinia Cambogia may be a helpful component to your weight loss efforts. The science hasn’t determined that yet. But if you’re interested in trying it, there are far cheaper and potentially more effective products to use. Don’t bother with Slimera.
