Martial Herbs is a British Supplement company founded on offering natural herbs as supplements to help athletes and martial artists achieve their goals.
Their range includes natural strength enhances, recovery and natural herbal weight loss supplements. Enter – Martial Herbs Slim.
As a no-nonsense bodybuilder, i like to cut through the crap of many chinese herbs and spiritual remedies. Chalking many of these all natural weight loss remedies up to praying on the vulnerable, gullable or just down right stupid people.
The number of chinese herbal remedy shops I see popping up and closing down is unreal.
Casting my doubts and assumptions aside though, I decided to give these natural weight loss herbs a go. The only herbal weight loss supplements i’ve ever used before (if you’d even class it as a supplement) is green tea or green tea extract.
How do these natural herbs for weight loss supplements stack up? Find out in my Martial Herbs Slim review.
Martial Herbs Slim Overview
Martial Herbs Slim is an all natural weight loss herbs supplement, designed primarily with martial artists in mind, although any one following a high intensity workout routine could supplement their diet with this natural weight loss supplement from Martial Herbs.
The last weight loss supplement I covered was in my MyProtein Thermopure Review. Often people think that a weight loss tablet, a slimming pill, or an all natural herbal weight loss remedy will lead to quick weight loss. Fat loss supplements can help, but they don’t magically make the fat drop off you quicker than the bra falling to the floor of a pornstar.
With an over abundance of scams in the supplements industry, it’s refreshing to see that Martial Herbs aren’t marketing their products as magical pills that will give you the body of your dreams.
Natural Goodness
As Natural as MyProtein’s Peanut Butter, you won’t find any Walter White manufactured ingredients in a tub of Martial Herbs Slim.
Here is a run down of everything that Martial Herbs Slim contains;
Ingredients
- Sublimed sulphur
- citrullus colocynthus
- brassica nigra
- vegie capsules
Lets take a brief look at benefits of each of these natural weight loss ingredients.
Sublimed Sulphur
- Sulfur bonds are required for proteins to maintain their shape.
- These bonds are what dictate the bio activity of proteins in your body.
- A shortage of sulphur in the body can cause age related problems.
- Helps convert carbs into energy (as opposed to storing as fat).
- Detox.
- Enables proper insulin function within the body, limiting fat storage.

Citrullus Colocynths
- Reduces Blood Glucose
- Used to treat metabolic disorders
- No toxicity
- May help reduce cholesterol
Brassica Nigra
- Aids in digestion
- Balances appetite levels
- Can help reduce water retention
The inclusion of Brassica Nigra in Martial Herbs Slim confuses me slightly, as it is often used to encourage appetite. As a weight loss supplement, I would believe that supressing appetite would be more useful.

Usage & Effectiveness
Martials Herbs recommends taking 1 tablet per day. So in 1 tub you’re getting 60 days worth.
Im currently getting ready for a bodybuilding show, and as part of my contest prep I’m carb cycling. Low carb days, my appetite is (usually) through the roof. I ditch impact whey, in favour of whole foods, and usually only reserve having a micellar casein shake before bed.
Since using this natural weight loss supplement, I find my appetite not as bad on my low carb days. This is obviously a huge benefit when dieting to lose weight, as being hungry can make you grab calories that you shouldn’t be consuming.
In terms of body recomposition, and getting more shredded, I cannot whole-heartedley attribute this to the use of Martial Herbs Slim. Nor would i attribute this to any natural weight loss herbs, fat burner or any single supplement. I believe this is natural weight loss as a result of dieting, willpower and intense training.
Martial Herbs Slim is definitely helping with my appetite on the lower carb days, but just how much of an impact this has had on my natural weight loss over the past few weeks, is hard to say.
I have noticed that the ‘bloat’ i sometimes get, when on a higher carb or refeed day, has shrunken considerably. So in regards to reducing bloat, water, and making me ‘feel’ better after eating, then i have to give Martial Herbs Slim a thumbs up.
Value
A tub of Martial Herbs Slim contains 60 capsules, and costs £35.
This is middle of the ground pricing, by no means is it cheap, but its not the most expensive fat loss supplement available.
The value is subjective. If you have your training & diet in check, and are already in good shape, then using Martial Herbs Slim might be worthwhile to help enhance your training and results.
I’ts helped my hunger on low carb days for example. However if you’re an average gym goer, looking to lose 20 lbs of fat, there are going to be smarter ways to spend your money.
Verdict
If you’re serious about your training, diet and supplementation, then Martial Herbs Slim could help enhance the results you achieve from the time you spend in the gym.
I wouldn’t advise this to a ‘casual’ gym goer, as there are other supplements such as protein, creatine and a multi-vitamin that will provide greater benefits, at a cheaper cost.
For this reason, i rate Martial Herbs Slim with 3 stars. For a ‘serious’ trainee, i’d bump this to a 4. However, I don’t want beginners reading this review, or ‘casual’ gym goers who don’t have their training and diet in check to think that its a magic, natural weight loss herb derived supplement.
What I can say about Martial Herbs, from my own use, is that it has had a considerable effect on supressing hunger on my low carb days. This has been a massive help. Based on the reduced bloat i’ve experienced as well, it could be worth while taking this right up until the day of a show to help dial in my physique for show day.
If you’re a serious trainee, martial artist, athlete or bodybuilder, and have the cash to spare, then this all natural weight loss product might be just what you’re looking for.
