The award judges determined whether a product was worthy of being a finalist by using the criteria below:
- Innovation: The product or company shows truly creative thinking and execution (not a "me too" approach); uses a newly discovered or re-discovered ingredient, flavour profile, technique or process; fills a legitimate (though perhaps not yet recognised) natural products market need or niche; and/or is predicted to have longer-term impact in the industry.
- Inspiration: The product or company adheres to an unusual or new mission targeting an issue or problem not yet widely addressed; its message/mission is clearly communicated, focused and effective, with real, wide-reaching potential or already proven positive social or environmental impact.
- Integrity: The product or company takes a creative, next-gen approach to clean ingredient(s), sustainability, transparency, traceability and safety/security.
SLIMVANCE Core Slimming Complex is derived from three spices with known uses in traditional medicine, all of which have been the subject of safety and toxicity work.
The spices have been selected from hundreds of herbs, using cutting-edge screening techniques that assessed their ability to work synergistically in inhibiting fat accumulation and promoting the breakdown of fat in fat cells.
The result is an ingredient that has been clinically-shown to significantly enhance weight loss and help re-shape the body.
Clinical trials
SLIMVANCE has been studied in two clinical trials to date. The study participants included both men and women. The subjects were of a broad age range, and were a healthy population of overweight - not obese individuals - adding confidence to performance in the general population.
The duration of this trial demonstrates steady, consistent weight loss - starting early, and supporting long-term weight loss success. Finally, the trial demonstrates statistically significant slimming - with a reduction in waist circumference.
Analyses indicate that statistically significant (p<0.0001) reductions in key parameters were observed beginning at day 14.
