The waistline-shrinking ability of GoChi®, FreeLife's proprietary, industry-leading goji beverage, has recently been affirmed by the U.S. Patent Office. In issuing a Notice of Allowance, the agency acknowledges the U.S. government's intent to grant FreeLife® a patent for its invention – an invention that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has determined to be new, non-obvious, and useful.
The upcoming patent is the result of a groundbreaking FreeLife clinical study in which GoChi consumption was shown to increase calorie burning and reduce waist circumference when compared to placebo-treated control subjects. This landmark study was published in the prestigious peer-reviewed Journal of the American College of Nutrition.
FreeLife’s ongoing goji research has yielded significant benefits, such as the increase in metabolic calorie burning and decrease in waist measurement observed in this GoChi study. In fact, it was these exciting findings that led to the development of FreeLife’s successful TAIslim Total Body System for healthy weight management. Several recent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical studies have shown multiple synergies between GoChi and other functional food ingredients used in the TAIslim System. That further enhances GoChi’s calorie-burning capability, which is considered to be a key mechanism of effective body weight control.
This new patent will grant FreeLife exclusive rights to the use of goji (as GoChi, TAIslim® liquid, or any other goji-containing product) as a means of reducing the waistline. Upon issuance, the new patent will exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling FreeLife's patented method of using goji (as GoChi, TAIslim® liquid, or other goji-containing product) for reducing the waistline
“FreeLife is especially proud of yet another independent validation of our continuing commitment to cutting-edge science and human clinical research,” says CEO & Co-Founder Ray Faltinsky. “With multiple additional patents pending and rigorous scientific studies, no other goji or weight management products can approach the patent-worthy innovation or clinically demonstrated efficacy of FreeLife products.”
PHOENIX, AZ – October 28, 2009 – FreeLife International® recently presented the significant results of several human clinical studies on TAIslim®, its proprietary triple patent pending liquid weight loss supplement, at the 27th Annual Scientific Meeting of The Obesity Society. This important conference, held in Washington, DC, brought together the world’s leading players in the field of obesity – from basic and clinical researchers and clinicians to educators, advocates, policy shapers, and practitioners.
At the conference, FreeLife’s Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Haru Amagase presented research on the impact of TAIslim on weight management. He discussed TAIslim’s unique mode of action and the significant reductions in body weight, body mass index (BMI), and waist and hip circumferences observed in several controlled human clinical studies. TAIslim was also found to cause significant improvements over placebo in blood pressure, fasting glucose levels, and total body fat content. The formula was developed after weight loss benefits were noted in clinical studies on two other FreeLife supplements – GoChi® and Chi3 Energy™, both of which are based on the Asian goji berry (Lycium barbarum).
FreeLife’s findings on TAIslim will be published in the respected journal Obesity. “These results are very interesting and promising,” remarked Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge, noted obesity research expert and Assistant Professor at St. Luke’s/Roosevelt Hospital and New York Obesity Research Center at Columbia University. She added, “The rise in energy expenditure (i.e., fat burning) with these goji-based products is interesting and suggests a mechanism by which they can assist in weight management.”
“Lycium barbarum is a very interesting herb,” stated Dr. Norman R. Farnsworth, world-renowned Professor of Pharmacognosy (study of plant-based medicines) at the University of Illinois at Chicago. “Clinical studies have shown multiple health benefits for humans, especially for general well-being, for immune-modulation, and for its antioxidant effects. The medicinal properties of Lycium barbarum in traditional Asian medicine correlate well with recent scientific studies. It appears that the active compounds in Lycium barbarum are polysaccharides (LBP) on which the TAIslim product is standardized.”
FreeLife® is the first company to perfect a difficult and demanding proprietary process and create the most highly standardized form of the goji berry available in the world today. According to FreeLife’s Dr. Amagase, “TAIslim is the only product on the market that combines standardized goji LBP with a proprietary blend of synergistic natural ingredients, and we believe that our research demonstrates great promise for those seeking safe, effective, and sustainable weight control. We are honored to have the opportunity to share our significant study results with the best and brightest experts and scientists in obesity research.”
With three patents pending, the TAIslim formula is a result of FreeLife’s continuing commitment to cutting-edge science and human clinical research. No other weight loss product can approach TAIslim’s exclusive formula, scientific innovation, or clinically demonstrated efficacy.

Science now knows that there are four distinct aspects that must be addressed together for successful weight management. If you’ve been on diet plans that have failed, it’s because they only deal with one or two parts of the equation. But now, finally, “The Weight is Over!” FreeLife science has found the way to help you to lose weight, and it’s name is TAIslim™.
In Asia, the word tai signifies “total” or “complete.” And unlike any other diet you’ve ever tried, the comprehensive TAIslim plan addresses all of the key aspects of successful weight control. Based on FreeLife’s revolutionary triple patent pending formulation and research on the ability of the goji berry to reduce unsightly and unhealthy belly fat, our proprietary TAIslim helps you to reach and maintain a healthy weight in four important ways:†
TAIslim can continue to offer a lifetime of benefits even after you’ve reached your goal. Here are 27 good, healthy reasons to continue to drink TAIslim every day. Now you can lose weight and feel great for life. Drink TAIslim, for a totally new you!
1. Lose weight!
No matter how ambitious your ultimate weight goal may be, the good news is that you don’t have to reach your ideal weight to lower your risk of developing obesity-related medical problems. Losing just 5 to 10% of your total weight will make you significantly healthier, and you’ll feel better, too! TAIslim can help you to reach your short-term and long-range goals. Thanks to its triple patent pending technology and formulation, its clinically demonstrated efficacy, and its exclusive 4-way action, it will be easier than ever for you to lose weight and feel great!
2. Fight unhealthy ‘belly fat’!
One of the most significant weight-related health risks occurs when fat accumulates deep within the abdominal cavity. Studies have proven that “belly fat” can double your risk of dying from heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes. TAIslim is synergistically formulated with key nutrients to help shrink your waistline, including FreeLife’s exclusive GoChi®, the standardized goji juice that is clinically shown to decrease the body’s production of stress hormones that cause you to accumulate unhealthy belly fat.†
3. Enhance your energy levels!
TAIslim has been shown in studies to cause an increase in the body’s production of energy.† It features scientifically proven GoChi, along with four powerful tea extracts and a small amount of natural caffeine to boost your metabolism safely and naturally, without the use of harsh herbal stimulants.
4. Turn on your body’s thermogenic power and burn fat!
Thermogenesis refers to the body’s ability to produce heat from stored fat calories. It’s not a prime source of energy, kicking in only when the body is under stress or attack, is exercising heavily, or is in need of heat (the flush of exercise and the “hot under the collar” sensations of anger are both driven by thermogenesis).
Babies are born with highly active thermogenesis, and with lots of baby fat to fuel the heat-producing process. This is why babies don’t shiver in the cold. As children become older, thermogenic activity diminishes and by adulthood, it slows to a crawl. This can lead to weight gain, which is popularly explained as one’s “metabolism slowing down.” What’s really slowing down is the ability to burn fat by thermogenesis.
Fortunately, in numerous studies, TAIslim and its ingredients have been found to significantly increase thermogenesis by multiple mechanisms.† Now you can burn fat again, just like you did as a baby!
5. Control your appetite and curb cravings!
TAIslim™ contains an exclusive Appitol Plus™ appetite control complex, featuring L-phenylalanine and N-acetyl-L-tyrosine. These powerful amino acids work on the pleasure centers of the brain to help suppress food cravings and the urge for between-meal snacks. TAIslim also contains key ingredients that promote the early release of CCK, the satiety hormone that tells your brain that you’re full so you can find it easier to cut out unwanted calories.†
6. Feel fuller longer!
Most people begin to feel hungry as their blood sugar levels drop several hours after eating. TAIslim slows the digestion and absorption of food, helping to keep your blood sugar levels from dipping so you can go longer between meals without feeling the urge for high-calorie snacks!†
7. Absorb fewer calories from the foods you eat!
TAIslim’s Lipitol Ultra™ complex of four potent tea extracts (including the legendary wu long variety) works on digestive tract enzymes, inhibiting their action to help reduce the amount of calories absorbed from starchy or fatty foods.† Additionally, when you take TAIslim with a full glass of water right at the start of a meal, its proprietary NuFlora™ fiber combines with your food, making it more difficult to absorb.† And food that is not absorbed cannot be turned into calories!
8. Cleanse and detoxify!
TAIslim’s exclusive NuFlora is an advanced proprietary soluble dextrin fiber complex that helps to clear metabolic toxins and provides an intestinal cleansing action so gentle that you can use it every day!
9. Fight insulin resistance!
Insulin is a hormone, secreted by the pancreas, which is released every time you eat. Its primary function is to encourage your muscles to absorb sugar from the blood after a meal, so that they can burn it for energy. If you eat more carbohydrates than the body can use, insulin will turn the excess into fat. TAIslim’s NuFlora fiber, in the amount found in every serving, has been clinically shown to reduce the flood of blood sugar after a meal.†
10. Up your fiber intake!
The multiple health benefits of fiber are indisputable, but according to government statistics, most people don’t get anywhere near enough in their diets. Each two-ounce serving of TAIslim™ provides nearly twice the soluble fiber of the leading fiber supplements, and thanks to its advanced NuFlora technology, there’s no thick texture or bad taste, just the great benefits!
11. Improve regularity!
Normal elimination is essential for gastrointestinal health. TAIslim’s remarkable NuFlora dextrin fiber complex has been clinically shown to improve intestinal regularity and frequency of elimination without laxatives.† The GoChi® in TAIslim has also been clinically demonstrated to improve regularity.†
12. Maintain colon health!Your intestinal tract normally contains trillions of friendly bacteria (flora) that help to maintain the proper pH of the colon, keeping it free from yeasts and harmful organisms. Unfortunately, the composition and number of these helpful bacteria can change as a result of stress, illness, age, diet, or the use of antibiotics. The proprietary NuFlora fiber complex in TAIslim has a prebiotic action, and is clinically demonstrated to restore a normal composition and count of these important immune defenders.† Additionally, TAIslim’s powerful tea flavonoids have been shown to promote colon health in numerous studies.†
13. Banish bad bacteria that may be causing you to gain weight!The intestinal tracts of overweight people are often populated with malevolent “hungry bacteria” which eat the remnants of already-digested food and turn it into unwanted body fat. TAIslim’s NuFlora dextrin fiber complex fights against these fat-storing bacteria, and promotes the regrowth of normal, healthy intestinal flora.†
14. Keep a healthy heart!
If you’re starting a weight loss program, you’re going to want to increase your physical activity, and that requires a healthy heart. Tea is the ultimate heart-healthy beverage, and that’s because of its high content of protective flavonoids.
Tea flavonoids make blood vessels work better, and an important study shows that people who drink tea after a heart attack are less likely to have another heart attack.† Each serving of TAIslim provides flavonoids from four potent tea extracts, at a level even higher than you’d find in a cup of strong brewed tea!
15. Maintain normal, healthy cholesterol and triglycerides!
Cholesterol is a concern for many who are overweight. Key ingredients in TAIslim have been shown to have a positive effect on blood triglycerides and cholesterol, lowering the bad (LDL) and raising the good (HDL) cholesterol.†
16. Inhibit dangerous lipid peroxidation!
Cholesterol and other blood lipids can become dangerous when they react in the body to form lipid peroxides. TAIslim’s exclusive GoChi® and potent tea flavonoids have been shown in studies to inhibit the formation of dangerous lipid peroxides.†
17. Improve absorption of minerals!
Good nutrition is essential when you’re controlling your food intake. The proprietary NuFlora fiber complex in TAIslim™ has been clinically shown to help your body to absorb valuable minerals from your diet.† Minerals are vitally important for bone and heart health, and for the proper functioning of the body’s enzymes.
18. Fight metabolic syndrome!
Metabolic syndrome is problem in most of the developed world. It’s a cluster of conditions that occur together. Having just one of these conditions − increased blood pressure, elevated insulin levels, excess body fat around the waist or abnormal cholesterol levels − isn’t identified as metabolic syndrome, but it does contribute to your risk of serious disease. If more than one of these conditions occur in combination, your risk is even greater. Fortunately, reducing belly fat with the TAIslim plan can have a very positive impact on metabolic syndrome.†
19. Support normal blood pressure!
According to a study reported in The Archives of Internal Medicine, drinking as little as a half-cup of green or wu long (oolong) tea per day for a minimum of one year may lower the risk of high blood pressure by as much as 50%.† Every serving of TAIslim provides bioactive tea flavonoids – from four potent extracts – at levels exceeding those of a full cup of strong brewed tea.
20. Increase your antioxidant power!
For successful weight loss, you must increase your level of physical activity, and that can cause a build-up of harmful free-radical activity. The right antioxidants can help. TAIslim contains GoChi, the standardized goji berry juice that has been clinically shown to significantly increase the body’s antioxidant status, while decreasing free-radical damage.† TAIslim also provides a high level of EGCG, a compound from green tea that has 25 – 100 times the antioxidant power of vitamin C or E. The amount of EGCG found in each serving of TAIslim has antioxidant effects greater than a serving of broccoli, spinach, carrots, or strawberries.
21. Maximize any exercise!
The TAIslim formula is designed to boost your metabolism and give you the energy to maximize any type of exercise. Physical activity is important for many reasons; it has a balancing effect on your blood sugar levels, it helps to decrease your body fat and cholesterol, and it increases your energy and stamina. You should aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day, but even if you don’t have a regular exercise routine, you can incorporate exercise as part of your lifestyle. Walk to the store, walk up that flight of stairs, and mow your lawn. Studies have shown that these mini-exercise sessions have a beneficial effect on weight loss.
22. Keep focused!
Avoiding distractions is essential if you’re going to reach your desired weight. TAIslim’s exclusive GoChi® has been shown in controlled human studies to improve focus, concentration, and mental sharpness.† And the small amount of caffeine from TAIslim’s four potent tea extracts will help even more to keep you focused on your goals!
23. Alleviate everyday stress!
Many overweight people tend to eat when they’re under stress, whether they’re hungry or not. TAIslim™ can help. It contains the clinically studied stress fighter GoChi along with special amino acids, including theanine from green tea, that can help you to adapt and to cope with everyday stress.†
24. Improve your mood!
Losing weight can take time and effort, and it helps to have a positive mood. TAIslim features special amino acids that influence the production of key neuromodulators in the brain, including the “feel good” hormone serotonin, the dopamine (a precursor to energizing adrenaline), and beta-phenethylamine, the substance in chocolate that makes you feel so good when you eat it!† The GoChi in TAIslim has been clinically shown to improve feelings of happiness and contentment.†
25. Build healthy muscle!
As you lose fat, you’ll also want to exercise to build healthy new muscle cells, as it is well known that muscle burns fat. To make sure that those cells reproduce normally, you’ll need to protect your vital DNA. TAIslim contains a powerful extract of green tea, which has been shown to protect against experimentally induced DNA damage.†
26. Improve Your Immune Defenses!When you’re losing weight, you’ll want to make sure to keep your health up to keep you motivated. The GoChi in TAIslim has been clinically shown in a peer-reviewed scientific journal to significantly increase three important aspects of immunity, and other TAIslim ingredients have been the subject of dozens of studies showing even more wide-ranging immune support benefits.†
27. Support thyroid health!The thyroid gland works like cruise control in a car, producing hormones that keep the rest of the body working at the right speed. If thyroid hormone levels decrease, cells throughout the rest of the body decrease in activity and that can result in weight gain. TAIslim provides L-phenylalanine, an essential amino acid that is a building block of the important weight-regulating thyroid hormones.†

Many experts believe that cleansing and replenishing your digestive system is essential for your weight loss success, and we agree. In fact, it’s an important feature of TAIslim’s exclusive four-way action. To understand how it works, you first need to know about TAIslim’s special proprietary fiber ingredient, NuFlora™.
When most people think of fiber, they only think about something that helps with bowel regularity. But if you use the right kind of fiber, such as NuFlora–it can actually help you to lose weight, too. When you take TAIslim™ with at least eight ounces of water, the NuFlora fiber becomes fully hydrated in your stomach and begins to co-mingle with your food. Because NuFlora is indigestible, it slows down the digestive process so that you don’t overload your bloodstream.† Absorbing food more slowly is very beneficial, and it guarantees that your body can handle it without the stress of having to produce an overabundance of insulin. This is important, because insulin is a fat storing hormone, and producing too much of it is a primary factor in obesity.
NuFlora also helps to escort metabolic wastes and toxins from the body, and it has been clinically shown to promote regularity when used on a continuing basis.† But the most interesting aspect of NuFlora is one that comes straight from the scientific headlines. Thanks to NuFlora, TAIslim can help to rid your body of bad bacteria that may actually be causing you to gain weight!†
A normal colon is populated with trillions of friendly bacteria. We call them the intestinal flora. These flora are also called probiotic bacteria–probiotic means “for life,” because you need them to live. They keep your colon healthy and free of Candida yeast and other harmful organisms, and they even help with maintaining a normal weight by improving your body’s ability to use insulin.
Some alarming new research from the renowned Mayo Clinic is now showing that in many overweight people, their beneficial flora have been depleted and have been replaced with a nasty species called Firmicutes (fur-MICK-you-tees). The name may sound like something from Greek mythology, but Firmicutes are no myth. They’re real. They have an incredible ability to take your already digested food, extract more calories from it, and then store it as body fat. This is now a major focus of leading obesity researchers in the United States and in Europe.
Fortunately, you can get rid of those bad bacteria and restore the healthy flora with the NuFlora in TAIslim.† NuFlora makes your normal probiotic bacteria stronger and better able to fight and get rid of the evil fat-storing invaders, but only if you take it consistently. Cleansing and replenishing your system is just one more great reason to take TAIslim every day!

Experts agree that in order to lose excess fat, you must take in fewer calories each day than you expend. And yet, it can be difficult to break old habits and push yourself away from the table if you’re still hungry. Fortunately, TAIslim™ offers multiple ways to make it easier for you to eat less and still feel satisfied.
TAIslim’s exclusive Appitol Plus complex features two natural amino acids, L-phenylalanine and N-acetyl-L-tyrosine. Studies on these natural building blocks of protein suggest that they can help suppress food cravings and the urge for between-meal snacks. This is because of their action on the brain’s pleasure centers. Your brain is designed to reward you with feelings of pleasure for performing necessary actions like eating or seeking warmth or shelter, and it’s also designed to make you want to avoid uncomfortable sensations such as extreme cold or physical pain. A pleasurable activity such as eating triggers the release of a brain chemical called dopamine, which travels to special receptors to produce a sensation of pleasure—you feel satisfied, and you can therefore stop eating. But in many overweight people, something’s gone haywire with their dopamine receptors, so it takes more food for them to get the message that they’re satisfied.
The amino acids in TAIslim’s Appetol Plus complex are structurally similar to dopamine, and studies have shown that they can increase the activity of dopamine in the brain. That means that, by taking TAIslim at the start of a meal, you can feel that pleasurable sensation without having to overeat.
TAIslim also contains NuFlora™, a special fiber ingredient that promotes the early release of CCK, a hormone that makes you feel fuller faster. And it can make you feel fuller longer as well.
The hunger signal occurs several hours after eating as blood sugar levels begin to dip. Once you have eaten another meal, blood sugar levels once again rise to normal and your hunger goes away. Scientists know that if you can keep your blood sugar levels up
for a longer period of time, you can delay the hunger signal, and this is another way in which TAIslim can offer help. By delaying the absorption of food, TAIslim’s unique NuFlora fiber lets it into the bloodstream a little at a time—a constant trickle instead of a flood. This helps to maintain normal blood sugar levels, and also allows your body to deal with your food much more easily, without having to overproduce fat-storing stress hormones like insulin and cortisol.
With TAIslim, you can find it easier than ever to walk away from the dining table earlier, and you won’t be as anxious waiting for the dinner bell to ring!
