Feel Nothing But Satisfied!
Kemin, a Leader in Innovation Brings Science to Weight Loss

Dedicated to improving health and wellness worldwide, Kemin now offers a proprietary, natural satiety ingredient to address the difficulties dieters have with managing their hunger while trying to lose weight. Cholecystokinin (CCK) is considered to be the best-studied endogenous satiety factor. CCK increases naturally with a meal and elicits satiety and feeling of fullness. It was first discovered in 1928 and its role in moderating hunger has been well-researched in humans over the past twenty-six years. Recognizing the importance of CCK in hunger management, Kemin began researching Proteinase Inhibitor II (PI2) and its effects on CCK. During this research, Kemin has determined that PI2 enhances the release of CCK, to promote satiety and manage hunger naturally. Slendesta Potato Extract offers CCK releasing benefits with the patented PI2 technology.

The Skinny on Potato Extract

Slendesta is a safe, natural satiety ingredient for weight loss dietary supplements. Slendesta Potato Extract is standardized to its active component, PI2. PI2 promotes the release of CCK, the natural signaling peptide within your body. Once released, CCK travels through the blood targeting various organs, where it induces feelings of fullness and satisfaction known as satiety.

Hunger: a Dieter's Biggest Enemy.

One of the primary excuses dieters give for going off their diet is that they are still hungry after a meal. Slendesta helps dieters by promoting satiety. If you feel satisfied, there's less hunger, and less chance of temptation.

Changing the Way We Think About HungerThe satiety created by Slendesta helps dieters feel satisfied sooner and longer helping them to better manage their hunger. This allows dieters to reduce their calorie intake with smaller portion sizes and control between-meal snacking. Reducing the number of calories consumed without feeling hungry assists dieters in meeting their weight loss goals.

How is Slendesta Different? As a satiety ingredient, Slendesta differs from other weight loss ingredients on the market which contain fillers and fibers that may make you feel bloated and uncomfortable. Slendesta works naturally with your body to send the signal 'I'm full! Stop eating!' to your brain.

PI2 Clinical Studies on Safety and Efficacy

Clinical studies have collectively demonstrated PI2's benefits, including that it is a safe and effective natural ingredient that promotes satiety and healthy weight loss. When taken as directed, Slendesta has resulted in statistically significant weight loss and reductions in waist and hip measurements. Slendesta is not a meal replacement and should be used with a program of healthy diet and exercise.

A randomized placebo controlled, cross-over clinical study with 45 participants demonstrated that when the Slendesta active ingredient is taken before a meal, it results in significantly greater fullness and a decreased motivation to eat. This study also showed that the CCK levels had increased and remained elevated for a longer period of time post meal with the active ingredient than the placebo group.
In the largest randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical study, 240 participants consumed the Slendesta active ingredient or a placebo approximately 60 minutes before their two largest meals. Slendesta provided statistically significant reductions in weight, waist and hip measurements.
During an open label study for a total of 20 weeks, participants experienced significant weight loss at each 4-week visit, and statistically significant reductions in waist, hip measurements and waste-to-hip ratios from eight weeks to study completion.
