A herbal weight loss product, Zotrim was developed by the Danish scientist Dr Lasse Hessel.

Zotrim contains 3 products from the Amazon Rainforests, guarana, damiana and yerba mate, which are combined to help you feel full more quickly when you eat, and keep that feeling longer between meals - the net result? You don't eat as much at meal times, and are less tempted to snack between meals.

Unusually, Zotrim is one of the few weight loss products on the market to have significant scientific evidence showing its effectiveness in slimming.

According to the manufacturers, scientific and consumer studies provide the following evidence:

Effective at weight-loss
Effective at maintaining weight lost over a twelve month period
Effective at reducing waist measurement
Weight loss using the product over four weeks compares favourably with longer-term weight management therapies
It slows the rate of gastric emptying, an important factor in eating control
It reduces the time to fullness and hence the amount eaten during meals
It reduces the tendency to snack

This is powerful evidence, but as with any weight loss product, simply using it alone reduces the chances of success. Combining this with healthy eating and a regular exercise program will of course increase your chances of successful weight loss.
