“If we look at the most commonly used natural solutions for mobility support, two things stand out: they require relatively large doses, and they require a long time to show efficacy,”Steve Fink says. Botanical ingredients like Boswellia serrata take effect faster and require a lower dosage.
Weight management likely represents “the single most important and effective thing that people can do—at any point in their lives—to age more healthfully,” according to Steve Fink, vice president of marketing, PLT Health Solutions. “The evidence of the huge health consequences associated with an overweight/obese population is overwhelming. An unhealthy weight is the underlying or contributing cause to any number of chronic health conditions present in later years such as CVD and can exacerbate others like joint health.”
“Our Slendacor Weight Management Complex distinguished from other weight management ingredients by its efficacy and unique, dual mechanism of action. Slendacor is not a stimulant or appetite suppressant. It works by supporting the body’s inherent processes to help manage weight. Fat cells (also known as adipocytes) are the major component of body fat. A fundamental process of weight gain—known as adipogenesis—involves the maturation and growth of these fat cells. Slendacor is thought to work by limiting fat cells from maturing and growing. Preclinical research has also shown that Slendacor works by increasing the breakdown of fat in mature fat cells, a process known as lipolysis.”
Fink notes that PLT’s Zembrin Sceletium tortuosum extract lends “clinically demonstrated support for calm focus and alert serenity,” helping people “feel better and more focused when they work out.” And who wouldn’t want that? “As we like to say, nothing is too difficult with the right frame of mind,” he adds.

“PLT Health Solutions also sees a shift in the sports performance booster scene. According to the company, consumers interested in sports or active nutrition look for cognitive support in their workout products. “Increasingly, PLT sees the adoption of Zembrin Sceletium tortuosum as part of multi-ingredient formulations where cognitive support is desired to help achieve specific goals,” Fink adds. The sports nutrition community is using Zembrin in workout products to provide cognitive support leading to enhanced focus, improved mood and better workouts.”
Steve Fink, vice president, marketing, PLT Health Solutions, noted that younger consumers are proactively addressing their health issues. “When you look at supplement sales data for the last year, Gen-Xers and Millennials are the fastest growing segment of supplement use. They, more than any other demographic, are embracing what we’ve come to call the ‘self-care ethos.’”
