VITAL FACTORS Menokal Fat Burner 30+30Cpr

Description
Dietary supplement based on plant extracts, fruit, and enzymes that helps to regain the ideal physical shape by activating metabolism and combating chronic inflammation. The combined Lunch-Dinner program meets the different metabolic needs of the day and performs a thermogenic action converting fat into energy, also countering adipogenesis, water retention, and the imperfections of cellulite.

Properties
-Red orange: contains several active ingredients important for weight control and combating obesity, thanks to its thermogenic action and counteraction to adipogenesis, preventing fat accumulation. Anthocyanins, hydroxycinnamic acids, and ascorbic acid have an anti-obesity action both in vitro and in vivo.
-Green tea: is rich in polyphenols, compounds with strong antioxidant power, capable of protecting cellular structures from the attack of free radicals and inhibiting the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, which is one of the main causes of arteriosclerosis. It also contains epicatchins, molecules capable of inhibiting the absorption of fats at the intestinal level and with hypoglycemic effects. It also has important draining, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties and has been shown to lengthen telomeres. It is also an excellent tonic and counteracts physical and mental fatigue.
-Mango: supports carbohydrate metabolism, digestive and hepatic function. It counters adipogenesis and activates metabolism with a thermogenic action. The leaves of the Mango, in particular, contain Mangiferin, phenolic and antioxidant compounds. Moreover, in cells treated with the leaves, the levels of adiponectin increase and intracellular lipid content decreases, as the expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism (FAS, PPARG, DGAT2, SCD-1) is reduced.
-Nopal: has a hypoglycemic activity along with a positive influence on metabolic disorders, such as obesity and hyperlipidemias. It contains a polysaccharide fraction, mainly composed of a polymer of galactose, arabinose, and other sugars, called opuntiamannano, which is responsible for the ability to bind fats and sugars ingested, making them non-absorbable and therefore eliminated as is. It also promotes the transformation of LDL cholesterol into HDL. Thanks to other pectic substances, it exerts a satiety effect, while the mucilages present control excessive gastric acidity and regularize intestinal transit. It also has an anti-inflammatory action.
-Pineapple: the fruit contains organic acids (mainly oxalic, citric, and malic), vitamins A, B, and C, amino acids, fibers, and minerals (especially iron, calcium, manganese, and potassium) and bromelain, an enzymatic mix of proteases, phosphatases, peroxidases, amylases, and cellulases that underpin all the biological activities recognized in the extract. In it, proteolytic activity is predominant and justifies the use of the extract to support digestion, after meals. Due to the high concentration of antioxidant molecules, pineapple extract can also contribute to cardiovascular wellness, hindering the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in individuals with high hypercholesterolemia. The stem of the pineapple finally has an anti-inflammatory action with a mechanism not well known, probably depending on a proteolytic modulation of the molecular cascade underlying the inflammatory process.
-Enzymix: is a stable concentrate of digestive enzymes that represents valid support for the normal physiological functioning of the digestive process. It is a valid support also in the case of pancreatic insufficiency and chronic pancreatitis, conditions in which there is inadequate production of lipase. The enzymes can also be useful in treating situations of being overweight and obesity.
