Benefits
Body Weight and BMI Reduction
Sengupta 2012 RCT (n=140 overweight adults, 16 weeks) showed Slendacor 900 mg/day with caloric-restricted diet produced significant body weight, BMI, and waist circumference reductions vs placebo.
Waist Circumference / Visceral Fat
Same trial showed visceral fat-related waist reduction. Health-relevant metabolic benefit beyond simple weight loss.
Body Composition Improvements
Reductions in fat mass markers; complementary to caloric deficit and exercise.
Multi-Botanical Mechanism
Three botanicals work via complementary mechanisms — comprehensive approach to weight management challenges.
Standardized Proprietary Formulation
Kemin's proprietary blend ensures consistent dose-response; specific clinical evidence on this combination.
Mechanism of action
Moringa oleifera Activity
Moringa leaves provide polyphenols, isothiocyanates (similar to broccoli), and other bioactives; documented metabolic and anti-inflammatory effects.
Murraya koenigii (Curry Leaf) Activity
Curry leaves contain alkaloids (mahanimbine, koenimbine), polyphenols; documented effects on lipid metabolism and oxidative stress.
Lepidium sativum (Garden Cress) Activity
Garden cress provides isothiocyanates, glucosinolates similar to other Brassicaceae; documented metabolic effects.
Combined Anti-Inflammatory and Metabolic
Three botanicals provide combined anti-inflammatory and metabolic effects — synergistic approach to weight management.
Clinical trials
RCT of Slendacor 900 mg/day vs placebo with caloric-restricted diet in 140 overweight adults for 16 weeks.
140 overweight adults.
Significant reductions in body weight, BMI, waist circumference vs placebo. Established Slendacor weight management evidence.
About this ingredient
SLENDACOR® is a PROPRIETARY BOTANICAL BLEND for weight management developed by KEMIN INDUSTRIES — combining: (1) MORINGA OLEIFERA (drumstick tree leaves; 'miracle tree' in some traditional contexts), (2) MURRAYA KOENIGII (curry leaf; commonly used in South Indian cooking), (3) LEPIDIUM SATIVUM (garden cress; small Brassicaceae plant). All three are FOOD-GRADE PLANTS with traditional culinary use.
EVIDENCE-BASED USES: (1) Body weight reduction; (2) BMI reduction; (3) Waist circumference reduction; (4) Body composition improvements; (5) Weight management adjunct alongside caloric restriction.
CRITICAL CAUTIONS: (1) DOSE — 900 mg/day per Sengupta 2012 trial; (2) WITH CALORIC RESTRICTION — clinical trial used Slendacor with caloric-restricted diet; supplementation alone without dietary changes likely modest; (3) DURATION — body composition effects build over 16 weeks; (4) PREGNANCY/LACTATION — limited safety data; AVOID; (5) DIABETES MEDICATIONS — modest hypoglycemic effects; (6) THYROID — isothiocyanate content; modest concern at supplemental doses; ensure adequate iodine; (7) WEIGHT MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK — caloric deficit, exercise, behavior change foundational; Slendacor adjunct; (8) SLENDACOR vs OTHER WEIGHT INGREDIENTS — different mechanism (multi-botanical anti-inflammatory + metabolic) than appetite suppressants (Slimaluma, glucomannan), enzyme inhibitors (ID-alG), AMPK activators (ActivAMP); complementary; (9) BRASSICACEAE FAMILY — garden cress is Brassicaceae; cross-reactivity with broccoli, cabbage, kale possible (rare); (10) FOOD-GRADE BOTANICALS — all three plants have culinary traditional use; supplementation provides concentrated standardized doses; (11) BRAND VERIFICATION — Slendacor® is Kemin trademark; clinical evidence on this proprietary combination; (12) For COMPREHENSIVE WEIGHT MANAGEMENT — comprehensive approach including diet, exercise, behavior change, sleep, stress management; Slendacor one tool.
