There are supplements for almost anything, including cholesterol supplements and weight loss supplements. Plant-based supplements can be a great option for those who do not eat animal byproducts to support their weight loss efforts, and can even help them enjoy other benefits such as lower cholesterol and improved energy levels.Â
These benefits can be even more noticeable to those who take these kinds of supplements alongside a regular exercise routine. At Sur, we offer high-quality plant-based supplements that can help you reach your weight loss goals and support a healthier lifestyle.Â

Nutrim Oat Beta Glucan
Nutrim Oat Beta Glucan (Nutrim) is one of our affordable beta glucan options. Nutrim is our trusted oat beta-glucan soluble fiber powder designed to support weight and cholesterol management.
How It Works
Nutrim is a type of plant-based fiber supplement. To understand how these fiber supplements work, let’s start with the digestive tract. Fiber supplements add bulk to the stool to promote regular bowel movements by increasing water absorption in the digestive tract. This creates a gel-like substance in the tract, increasing the volume and weight of the stool.
When this happens, the stool stimulates the intestinal muscles and slows down digestion. By slowing down digestion in the body, you can not only promote feeling fuller for longer, but you can also regulate blood sugar levels.
Because Nutrim is a soluble fiber, it can also feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut. These bacteria produce short-chain fatty acids, which have inflammatory and cardiovascular benefits. When you have a healthy heart, you’re able to engage in more physical activity that promotes weight loss.
It’s important to note that increasing your daily fiber intake can have some side effects. For example, you may feel bloated or gassy. We recommend lowering the amount of Nutrim you take each day, starting with one scoop per day and slowly moving your way up to two scoops twice a day. Notice how your body feels with the lower amounts and slowly increase from there for the best results.

AltRed
AltRed is our supplement made of beet root extract that has been standardized to contain 25% betalains. This plant-based supplement is rich in nutrients that offer many benefits to individuals looking to lose weight.
How It Works
Like Nutrim, AltRed can improve your gut health. This is because the betalains in AltRed are rich in fiber, which studies suggest can also improve your metabolism and overall weight management. Fiber feeds friendly gut bacteria and keeps you regular, and has been linked to a reduced risk in heart disease and type 2 diabetes, which is important for people who want to lose weight.
AltRed is also a good source of nitrates, which convert to nitric oxide in the body. Nitric oxide can help improve blood flow and exercise performance, indirectly boosting your weight loss efforts. Additionally, nitric oxide can help expedite recovery after exercise, support increased sports performance and endurance, and help reduce muscle damage from exercise.
We recommend taking one AltRed capsule about one hour before any physical activity for optimal results. You may experience beeturia while taking this supplement. Beeturia is when your urine has a reddish pink or pink hue after eating beets. Don’t panic–this is normal due to the pigments in beets. It’s perfectly normal and harmless, and typically goes away in a few hours or days.
