Other details on FERN Slim:
Fern Slim is manufactured by DSM Sweden exclusively for FERN, Inc. It contains Fabuless. It is the No. 1 weight management product in the US and Europe. Fabuless is ideal for both dairy applications, where it also delivers textural benefits such as improved mouthfeel and creaminess, and in single serve dosages as a ‘dietary supplement’. Dairy products containing Fabuless are already enjoying success in the USA (SlimShot), in Italy (ActifControl by Latteria Merano) and in Portugal (by Lactogal, as part of its Adagio range of healthy dairy concepts). Campina’s ‘Optimel Control’ in the Netherlands and ‘Optiwell Control’ in Germany and Austria are also enjoying significant success. The Fabuless single serve concept has also been successfully introduced in a large number of countries, including the France and Spain (Slim 10/10), Germany and Italy (SlimCup) and Scandinavia (ProAim). Now it is already available here in the Philippines, through FERN Slim.
Fabuless™, from DSM is an entirely natural, breakthrough weight management ingredient. Helping consumers eat less by proven reduced calorie intake at subsequent meals, Fabuless™ is a patent protected combination of palm and oat oils (both naturally occurring lipids) that are formulated in a novel emulsion.
Fabuless™ benefits
As weight management becomes more of a concern for consumers and (non)-governmental bodies, Fabuless™ represents a significant new product development opportunity for food manufacturers. It helps people eat less without the sacrifices usually associated with dieting or maintaining weight. Benefiting from substantiated claims and international consumer appeal, Fabuless™ enables you to create successful weight management concepts that offer real results.
The Fabuless™ mechanism
Fabuless helps control food intake by triggering the body’s natural appetite control mechanism. Clinically proven to prolong the feeling of satiety, the slow digestion of the oat oil fraction enables Fabuless to penetrate deep into the intestinal system. When digestion starts at this delayed stage, the human system identifies a relatively high level of undigested fat. This encourages the body to suppress its hunger signals. As a result, consumers feel satiated for longer.

Clinical research
Fabuless™ (FERN Slim's main ingredient) opens up exciting possibilities for manufacturers to develop a number of different innovative solutions for a range of consumer groups. Unlike many other weight management solutions, Fabuless™ does not rely on considerable individual effort and discipline. It has been designed simply to support people control their food intake and maintain a healthy diet.
Independent extensive clinical data show that people using Fabuless™ eat less and often don’t even feel the difference - an interesting proposition for the consumer if it simply involves incorporating a tasty yoghurt with 5 grams Fabuless™ into the daily diet. For intensive dieting, a completely different but relevant concept could be developed by means of a ‘meal replacement shake, incorporating an active dose of, for example, 10 grams Fabuless™, to help reduce hunger feelings for those who normally have problems sticking to diets.
Fabuless™ affects the amount of time it takes to become hungry again after a meal and how much food is eaten at the next meal. Our research shows that different fats, especially when structured and formulated in a specific way, each have a different effect on prolongation of satiety.
The clinical evidence behind Fabuless™ is extensive. Four independent studies have been performed at the Northern Ireland Centre for Diet and Health at the University of Ulster. All studies consistently substantiate the product's effect on reducing calorie intake. The results of the studies show a reduction in calorie intake at subsequent meals between 12.5 to 29 percent. The effect has been shown to last for more than eight hours. These results have been published in three articles in scientific peer-reviewed journals.
