New Gummy Science™ Mediterranean Weight Management Fights Fat and Supports a Healthy Weight

Life Extension launches new “guilt-free” gummies to help support healthy fat loss

Fort Lauderdale, FL – Fat loss is arguably the most desired outcome for those trying to achieve a healthy weight. There’s an array of supplements that can help support healthy weight loss, and gummies have increased in popularity. But people who prefer gummies over tablets and capsules should watch out for added sugars. Scientists at Life Extension circumvented the sugar concern by developing sugar-free* gummies formulated to help people address fat loss in a healthy way.

According to Dr. Michael A. Smith, MD, Life Extension’s Director of Education, traditional weight management gummies have 3-7 grams of sugar per serving, which can be counterproductive when managing weight loss. “If you’re taking a weight management supplement with added sugars, it can quickly add up and thwart your progress,” explained Dr. Smith. “That’s why choosing high-quality supplements without added sugars is the best way to complement a balanced diet and regular exercise.”

Indeed, the chewy, candy-like dietary supplement offers people a sweet (and guilt-free) way to reach their better-body goals. The patented citrus extract, sourced from the Mediterranean region, is rich in anthocyanins, plant compounds known for their antioxidant properties and nutritional benefits. The Moro orange blood extract in Life Extension’s healthy weight management supplement has been clinically studied to help reduce hip and waist circumference in both long and short-term studies.

“There are different ways to prompt the body to manage healthy weight loss, and targeting fat accumulation is one of them,” said Dr. Jaja-Chimedza, a Research Scientist on the Discovery Research Team for Life Extension. “We use a Moro blood orange extract which was shown to regulate biological pathways involved in fat metabolism, inhibiting fat cell size and accumulation in a preclinical study,” she explained.

In one study published in Natural Product Research, 60 volunteers took 400 mg of Moro blood orange extract once a day for 12 weeks, in addition to a healthy diet and exercise. Those taking Moro blood orange extract saw a significant reduction in fat mass and waist and hip measurements compared to the placebo group.

Each gummy is sugar-free*, is vegetarian, gluten-free and contains no genetically modified ingredients. Life Extension’s Mediterranean Weight Management is the newest gummy in the Gummy Science™ line.
