Natural weight support programme launched by Viridian

Viridian has created a weight support programme featuring a new Weight Support Complex and Healthy Weight Support guide, which together provide a natural alternative for sustainable weight management.

Viridian’s Weight Support Complex is an advanced formulation combining carob to help reduce appetite and increase feelings of fullness and satiety, with cinnamon, olive fruit and turmeric extracts.

The brand’s 84-page Healthy Weight Guide features advice and 28 recipes, with suggestions for starters, mains, desserts and snacks. The nutrient-rich meals include protein-packed Creamy Chickpea Lentil Laska and a high-fibre, Mediterranean-inspired Halloumi & Aubergine Chilli Traybake.

“There is a real shift for more natural ways to manage weight which are not only sustainable but are practical and create balanced and healthy eating habits,” comments Aimee Benbow, director of nutrition at Viridian. “The Weight Support Complex supplement contains well studied plant extracts alongside carefully developed recipes that are high in fibre and balanced with protein. The programme will help keep your blood sugar steady and give your body the long-lasting energy it needs throughout the day. This Viridian programme enables people to naturally gain control of their appetites, feel fuller and quiet the cravings.”

Highlighting the importance of making positive diet and lifestyle choices for sustainable long-term weight management, NHS GP Dr Siobhan Brennan adds: “With the rise in the use of the GLP-1 medications, certainly as physicians, we’re still rapidly learning about all far-reaching consequences and side effects that they can have. They’ve been very, very powerful at normalizing the narrative and promoting a more open discussion about what weight means to us without demonizing.”

Available in 60 capsule packs, the Weight Support Complex is vegan, non-animal tested and ethically sourced.
