Description
Orange Polyphenols PBF is a lipolytic and decongesting active ingredient, recommended in the formulation of all slimming products to smooth, tone, and improve the aesthetic appearance of dimply skin.
BACKGROUND
Citrus aurantium (subspecies amara), or Bitter Orange, is a spiny evergreen tree that is native to Southern Vietnam but is now widely cultivated. It is used as a grafting stock for citrus trees, in marmalade, in liqueurs, and it is also cultivated for its essential oils. The extract of Bitter Orange has been used in dietary supplements as an aid to fat-loss, is known to have anti-cellulite properties, and is loaded with vitamins and minerals (especially Vitamin C).
SCIENCE
Flavones and flavanones both belong to a group of compounds known as flavonoids. Flavonoids are colorful antioxidants that are found in plants, and in addition to their antioxidant properties, they are also known for their abilities to strengthen capillary walls and assist in circulation. Furthermore, flavanoids are reputed to have anti-inflammatory effects. This may be related to flavanoids’ ability to inhibit enzymes, such as cyclo-oxygenase and lipoxygenase, which act on arachidonic acid in cell membranes to form potent inflammatory substances. To take advantage of all of these properties, Orange Polyphenols PBF was created from an enriched fraction of Bitter Orange petals. This product is abundant in methoxylated flavones and flavanones so that it may reduce dimply skin by stimulating microcirculation and facilitating the draining of tissues.
BENEFITS
Orange Polyphenols PBF is a lipolytic active ingredient that inhibits the activity of the enzyme phosphodiesterase and catalyzes the production of cyclic AMP (cAMP). This stimulates lipolysis, increases the levels of free fatty acids, favors the hydrolysis of triglycerides, and thereby promotes the mobilization of stored fats. Orange Polyphenols PBF can be included in all claims for filtration and slimming actions. Orange Polyphenols PBF is a lipolytic and decongesting active ingredient, recommended in the formulation of all slimming products to smooth, tone, and improve the aesthetic appearance of dimply skin.
