SLENDACOR is a novel, patented formulation of three standardized herbal extracts: turmeric (Curcuma longa), moringa (Moringa oleifera) and curry leaf (Murraya koenigii) that was developed through an extensive botanical screening effort that had the goal of identifying herbs that impact weight loss.
Curcumin is the principal curcuminoid of turmeric (Curcuma longa), a member of the ginger family.
Curry leaves come from the Murraya koenigii plant, which is native to the Indian subcontinent and Sri Lanka.
Common names include moringa, drumstick tree, horseradish tree, and ben oil tree or benzolive tree.
Rhodiola rosea is a plant native to remote Arctic climates in Asia, Europe and North America.
The root of the plant contains around 140 chemical compounds including phenols, rosavin, rosarin, salidroside and more.

SLENDACOR has been studied in three human clinical trials to date – along with multiple preclinical studies. The design and results of this research offer a range of significant opportunities for your weight management product messaging. Study participants included both men and women. Subjects were of a broad age range and included a healthy population of overweight, not obese, individuals, adding confidence to results in the general population. Calorie-burning effects were seen on the first day of study. Significant weight loss was seen on Day 14, continuing throughout the duration of the study. The research shows statistically significant slimming—with a reduction in waist circumference and no reduction in lean body mass. Serum lipids and the Visceral Adiposity Index improved. In a 2021 study, calorie-burning effects were seen on the first day and the mood of study participants improved.
Slendacor has been studied in three human clinical trials to date and multiple pre-clinical studies. A 2018 16-week double-blind, placebo-controlled study of Slendacor set new standards for communicating efficacy to consumers and regulatory agencies in the weight management category – because of its size, its length, its use of healthy, non-obese men and women, its design and execution. Consistent body weight reductions were observed throughout the 16-week trial – starting with statistically significant weight loss at two weeks. Participants averaged a total weight loss of nearly twelve pounds by the end of the study. The subjects taking Slendacor lost two inches in waist circumference and had no reduction in lean body mass.
Two recent pre-clinical studies on energy expenditure showed that the mechanisms of action are related to the effect of Slendacor on white adipose tissue increasing UCP1 expression to resemble what occurs in more metabolically active brown adipose tissue. The 2021 human clinical trial (manuscript in development) was undertaken to further understand the thermogenic effects of Slendacor in human subjects.
A 2022 human clinical study (awaiting publication) focused on a single daily dose of Slendacor and its effects on resting metabolic rate. Participants using Slendacor showed up to a 15.2% increase in resting energy expenditure (REE) at Day 7. REE and calorie burning increased significantly from baseline on Day 1 of the study. The study also measured heart rate, blood pressure and mood. At no point during the study did heart rate or blood pressure increase in the Slendacor group, indicating there was no stimulant activity – unlike many other thermogenic ingredients.
The new data on lipolysis shows that Slendacor is not just breaking fat down but increasing the metabolism of that fat and changing the metabolic activity of those fat cells. It is burning fat rather than sending it to energy reserves. These new studies help understand Slendacor as an integral part of a holistic health management program, one that includes body weight management, but in the greater context of cardiometabolic health.
The Profile of Mood States (POMS) is a psychological rating scale used to assess mood states. In clinical trials, participants taking Slendacor reported improvements in their POMS scores, indicating better mood and psychological well-being. This enhancement in mood can be attributed to the overall health benefits and metabolic improvements brought about by Slendacor.
A 16-week double-blind, placebo-controlled study of Slendacor featured healthy, non-obese men and women. Consistent body weight reductions were observed throughout the 16-week trial – starting with statistically significant weight loss at two weeks. Participants averaged a total weight loss of nearly twelve pounds by the end of the study. The subjects taking Slendacor lost two inches in waist circumference and had no reduction in lean body mass.

The development of SLENDACOR paired traditional botanical medicine with modern scientific evaluation – through a directed program of screening. It examined thousands of plant extracts for their ability to stop fat cells from maturing - a process known as ‘adipogenesis.’
Out of these thousand, three of these botanicals showed the best anti-adipogenesis activity. Curcuma longa – also known as curcumin or turmeric; Moringa oleifera – or Drumstick leaf - and Murraya koenigii also known as curry leaf.
The next step examined different ratios of the three botanicals to see whether together, they could offer even better performance. One combination offered the strongest potential for preventing fat cell maturation and was also shown to increase fat breakdown (lipolysis).
The next phase of the screening process evaluated whether this combination would enhance weight loss when taken as a supplement. Testing involved animal studies and three human clinical trials.
The results were overwhelmingly positive. The clinical studies demonstrated that our newly discovered ratio offered rapid, consistent weight loss – and the ingredient we know today as SLENDACOR was born.
There’s a reason we talk about ‘pill fatigue’ today. People can only take so many of them. Increasingly, consumers are looking to get the nutrition and support they want from a diverse range of product forms that are fun and convenient. The water-dispersible grade of SLENDACOR delivers the power of the traditional ingredient in a neutral-tasting form which means you can use it in functional foods as well as a broad range of supplement delivery systems.
When SLENDACOR Weight Management Complex was first introduced in 2017, it was awarded the Weight Management Ingredient of the Year by Nutraingredients based on the powerful science represented in its second clinical trial showing weight loss starting at 14 days, reduction in BMI and reduction in waist and hip circumference.
Five years later, SLENDACOR won the same award based on the cutting-edge clinical trial that examined resting metabolic rate, non-stimulant thermogenesis and calorie burning increased by up to 15% starting almost immediately upon supplementation.
A major research effort went into creating a new form of SLENDACOR that delivers the power of the traditional ingredient in a neutral-tasting, water-dispersible form. Allowing it to be used in functional foods as well as a broad range of supplement delivery systems.
