Marketing - Nutrition / Gesundheit - Gamma-Slim
German term or phrase: erst
Nur de Apotheken haben Gamma-Slim in Kapselform mit seiner einmaligen, geschützten Zusammensetzung, die den sicheren und gesunden Schlank-Erfolg von 3 Kilo pro Woche erst möglich macht.

This is how I understand 'erst" in this sentence:

Only drugstores have Gamm-Slim in capsular form with its unique, protected composition, which provides, for the first time (ever), a safe and sound slimming effect of 3 kilos per week.

Is my understanding correct?
