Appetite Control Sachets

Slim-be Fills the Stomach with Konjac Root to Prevent Overeating

— December 10, 2016 — Lifestyle
The Slim-be 'Small Portion Shot' are designed to increase feelings of being full, making it easier to eat smaller portions to put off hunger and frequent snacking between meals.

The "shots" take the form of single-serving sachets that can be added to milk or another beverage of choice and consumed about 20 minutes before a meal. Slim-be is made with a soft fiber, konjac, that gently expands in the stomach to increase feelings of fullness. Konjac is a natural root from South East Asia that has been used for many years for its numerous heath benefits and ability to retain water.

The weight control product comes in three flavors, including Strawberry, Orange with Vitamin C and Vanilla.
Trend Themes
1. Konjac Root Sachets - The use of konjac root in sachets to control appetite and reduce overeating presents opportunities for food and beverage companies to develop functional products and disrupt the weight-loss industry.
2. Single-serving Portions - The convenience of single-serving sachets presents opportunities for packaging companies to disrupt the way consumers consume supplements and powders with a focus on reducing food waste and promoting portion control.
3. Natural Hunger Control - The trend towards natural and plant-based ingredients for hunger control presents opportunities for manufacturers of health supplements and functional foods to develop innovative solutions and disrupt the traditional weight-loss industry.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - The development of appetite control sachets made with konjac root presents opportunities for food and beverage companies to create innovative functional products and disrupt the weight-loss market.
2. Health and Wellness - The use of natural ingredients like konjac root for weight control presents opportunities for manufacturers of health supplements and functional foods to develop innovative solutions and disrupt the traditional weight-loss industry.
3. Packaging - The use of single-serving sachets for weight-control supplements like Slim-be presents opportunities for packaging companies to disrupt the way consumers consume supplements and powders with an emphasis on reducing food waste and promoting portion control.
