Supporting metabolic well-being isn't only about what you eat. It also means looking at the role of:
- stress
- the nervous system
- blood sugar balance
- emotional hunger
- energy metabolism
In naturopathy, these aspects are often seen as closely linked.
That's why the EquiSlim formula was developed with a neuro-metabolic logic, where different ingredients work in synergy.
One of the most interesting combinations is Magnesium Bisglycinate with GABA.
Magnesium Bisglycinate: Energy and the Nervous System
Magnesium Bisglycinate is a chelated form* known for good bioavailability and for being gentle on the gut.
*chelated form = a mineral chemically bound to an organic substance.
Magnesium contributes to:
- normal energy metabolism
- the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
- normal functioning of the nervous system
- normal muscle function
From a formulation point of view, it is particularly interesting in formulas dedicated to metabolic support and neurofunctional balance.
GABA: Supporting Neurovegetative Relaxation
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a neurotransmitter naturally involved in how the nervous system regulates itself.
In nutraceutical formulas, it is often included in blends focused on:
- mental relaxation
- stress management
- neurovegetative balance
Combining GABA with Magnesium creates a more balanced formula for situations where stress and eating habits are closely connected.
Griffonia and Ashwagandha: Supporting Emotional Balance
The EquiSlim formula is enriched with:
- Griffonia simplicifolia
- Ashwagandha
- Rhodiola rosea
Griffonia is naturally rich in 5-HTP, a precursor of serotonin, and is often used in formulas dedicated to a balanced mood.
Ashwagandha is an adaptogen used to support the body's natural response to stress.
Rhodiola rosea is traditionally used in formulas dedicated to physical and mental resilience.
From a formulation point of view, these ingredients help create a synergy aimed at supporting mental and physical well-being.
Green Tea, Fenugreek and Chromium: Metabolic Support
The formula also contains:
- Green tea
- Fenugreek
- Chromium picolinate
Chromium contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism and to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels.
Green tea is traditionally used in formulas dedicated to energy metabolism.
Fenugreek is often found in formulas focused on balanced eating.
Together, they make a more complete metabolic formula, consistent with an integrated naturopathic approach.
A Systemic Formulation Approach
In naturopathy, metabolism isn't seen as an isolated process.
Stress, mental energy, nervous balance, blood sugar levels and eating behaviour can all influence each other.
That's why EquiSlim was formulated with a systemic logic: not working on metabolism alone, but supporting neurofunctional and energy well-being at the same time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is GABA used for in supplements?
GABA is a neurotransmitter involved in how the nervous system naturally regulates itself, and it is often used in formulas dedicated to mental relaxation.
Why are Magnesium and GABA combined?
Magnesium and GABA are often used together in formulas focused on neurovegetative balance, because they work on complementary aspects of the nervous system.
Does Chromium help metabolism?
Yes. Chromium contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism and to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels.
