WHAT IS BELLY FAT?

Belly fat primarily comprises visceral fat. This fat is different than subcutaneous fat (the fat you can pinch). Experts agree that visceral fat is the least desirable fat on the body when it comes to supporting good health. The loss of belly fat in both men and women can promote overall health.*

HOW MUCH BELLY FAT IS TOO MUCH?

Measure your waist across your belly button. Total inches should be half of your height or less. For example: If you are 5’6” or 66 inches, your waist should be 33 inches or less.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND HIGH-LINOLEIC SAFFLOWER OIL

In a 16-week, double-blind controlled study conducted at Ohio State University¹, researchers compared high-linoleic safflower oil (SAF) with conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). They studied overweight, post-menopausal women who had high blood sugar. These participants showed an average reduction of 6.3 percent belly fat and an average of 20.3 percent increase in the important belly fat hormone adiponectin*.

Since every person is different, these results are not guaranteed.

• SAF outperformed CLA in measurements of trunk adipose (belly fat) and adiponectin levels. There was no significant change in adiponectin or trunk adipose loss with CLA.
• Belly fat measured by DXA:SAF group reduced an average of 6.3 percent belly fat.*
• Adiponectin: Levels of this important belly fat hormone increased an average of 20.3 percent.*
• Study participants obtained results with no modifications to exercise or diet regimen.† However, SafSlim should be used as part of a reduced-calorie diet and exercise program.
