The Skinny Pantry, in Fort Myers, now offers an aid that can meet various health and nutritional needs; the Mystique Lifestyle Patch, distributed by a Fort Myers company. Owner Terry Foster attests that the natural and organic herbs and other ingredients absorbed through the small, rectangular-shaped product can help reduce weight by suppressing appetite, increase energy, improve sleep and offer other benefits.

Patch ingredients include, among others, ForsLeanA, a nutraceutical; gymnea sylvestre, an herb with ancient origins, derived from Indian melon plants; and 5-HTP, a naturally occurring amino acid that helps balances brain chemistry to reduce stress, control cravings and help produce quality, restful, recuperative sleep. The patch should be worn on the upper part of the body, either during waking or all hours.
