PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Carnivorous plants are rare and fascinating plants that, able to colonise very poor soils, developed their ability to trap and digest their pray in order to have an alternate source of nutrients. These special conditions forced the metabolism of these plants to produce a very unique phytocomplex.

ADIPO-TRAP is produced using sundew, a plant characterized by glandular tentacles, topped with sticky secretions, that cover its leaves/trap. The sundew is able to move its tentacles in response to contact with prey.

Sundew phytocomplex is able to modulate adipocyte metabolism acting as a slimming, re-shaping and anti-cellulite active ingredient.

During in vitro tests performed using preadipocyte and adipocyte, ADIPO-TRAP was able to prevent fat accumulation and to reduce the adipocyte size, showing an efficient lipolysis effect.

In a within-patient clinical trial, ADIPO-TRAP was shown to be able to efficiently act as a slimming and reshaping active ingredient and to start reducing cellulite and celluliterelated pain just after 2 weeks.
