What is Sinetrol®?
Sinetrol® is a patented ingredient, a blend of Grapefruit, Pomelo and Orange extracts, and Guarana, containing over 40% citrus flavanones, including naringin and hesperidin, and 3-4% caffeine. This active ingredient has been the subject of over 10 years of research to characterise its many bioactive ingredients and metabolites, investigate its mechanisms of action and verify its efficacy through clinical studies. It has been the subject of several randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials (the gold standard in clinical trials) involving over 300 overweight people, with statistically significant effects, including several independent studies.
How does Sinetrol® affect weight loss?
Clinical studies have shown that a dose of 650 mg/day of Sinetrol® increases resting energy expenditure. The mechanism of action demonstrated is an increase in thermogenesis in adipose tissue (production of energy by basic metabolism by "burning" fat) in adipocytes (fat cells). The result was a significant weight loss and reduction in body fat in the participants in this study, with a rebalancing of body composition (increase in the ratio of lean mass to fat mass). A reduction in waist and hip circumference was also observed.
What is Cactinea™?
The fruit of the prickly pear is traditionally known for its diuretic and depurative effects, and widely consumed as an antioxidant-rich 'superfruit'.
Cactinea™ is an extract of prickly pear fruit titrated in betalains and indicaxanthin, a pigment with antioxidant effects endowed with high bioavailability. A clinical study has shown that indicaxanthin has interesting effects in combating the oxidation of LDL cholesterol.
A preliminary study has shown that Cactinea™ has an effective diuretic effect, with no side effects on blood pressure or the mineral content of urine. Combined with good hydration, it thus promotes drainage while preserving essential minerals in the body. The patented active ingredient Cactinea™ has also been the subject of 2 randomised double-blind clinical studies versus placebo, at a dose of 2 g per day:
on 49 women for 1 month: significant weight loss was observed in the group taking Cactinea™, with a reduction in water retention. A significant reduction in waist circumference and ankle circumference were demonstrated.
over 7 days in 15 women suffering from water retention: diuresis was increased by 27%, the sensation of swelling was reduced by 68% and the sensation of heavy legs was reduced by 67%. 87% of volunteers found the product effective and 67% noticed a slimmer figure.
What are the benefits of Green Tea for weight loss?
For this Fat burner & drainer food supplement, we have chosen a green tea extract with 30% polyphenols, 16% catechins and 15% EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate). Green tea is widely recognised for its rich antioxidant and slimming properties. Thanks to its high catechin content, it helps to activate fat metabolism, promotes elimination and aids weight control as part of a suitable diet.
