SomnaSlim PM and How it Works for Overnight Weight Loss


By Elizabeth Myers, RD

SomnaSlim PM is a fat burner that works overnight and is sold exclusively on eBay. The formula is a combination of non-stimulating fat burners and soothing herbs that will facilitate weight loss, relaxation, and a restful night's sleep. The cost is approximately $89 for 60 pills, which is very expensive considering the recommended dosage is 2 pills per day.

Active Ingredients and How it Works

SomnaSlim PM is unlike other fat burners and weight-loss aids because it supports deep sleep more than actual weight loss. Since good sleep is a key component of fat loss, a good night's rest is promised while at the same time controlling appetite and stress.

  • Garcinia Cambogia: suppresses appetite and has fat-burning properties
  • Glucomannan: a fiber that expands in the stomach to suppress appetite
  • Green Tea extract: an antioxidant, diuretic, suppresses appetite, increases metabolism
  • Aloe Vera: soothes the digestive tract
  • Gymnema Sylvestre: controls blood sugar levels
  • Valerian root: a natural sedative
  • Melatonin: improves quality of sleep by regulating the body’s internal clock
  • Passion Flower: has calming effects that reduce stress-related weight gain
  • 5-HTP: an amino acid that changes into serotonin, which is a sedative and may help control hunger
  • Chitosan: a fat inhibitor
  • Phase-2: white bean extract that inhibits carbohydrate digestion

Claims vs. Scientific Evidence

SomnaSlim PM claims to be a powerful appetite suppressant, blood-sugar regulator, and relaxation pill, but because it has not been approved by the FDA, clinical research and trials do not exist. However, clinical studies are proving that those who get less than 7-8 hours of sleep per night have a greater chance of being overweight. This is due to increased cortisol and blood-sugar levels, and decreased serotonin levels from lack of sleep.

It is also important to mention that people with diabetes should be especially careful with this product since Garcinia Cambogia can cause dangerously lower blood sugar levels.

Consumer Feedback

“SomnaSlim diet pills are not a ‘miracle' drug, and they do not contain any ingredients that simply burn fat overnight.”
