Description

Technical field

[0001] The proposed technical solution falls into the category of dietary supplements that can be used to reduce body weight. State of the art

[0002] A variety of dietary supplements and herbal compositions are known from the state of the art that may be suitable to help in reducing (lowering) the body weight of individuals.

[0003] Document US 2015 0017 278 A1 describes a weight-loss composition that includes, among other things, a combination of green tea extract with Garcinia cambogia, yerba mate, and saffron extract.

[0004] The document WO 2005 034 650 A1 describes variants of dietary supplements for weight reduction, which include, among other things, green tea, Garcinia cambogia, yerba mate and Gymnema sylvestre.

[0005] Furthermore, document US 9,833,489 B2 describes a substance for inducing a feeling of satiety based on a saffron extract. It mentions the possibility of combining it with other natural extracts, including green tea and yerba mate.

[0006] Finally, document US 6 541 026 B2 reveals a composition that includes Garcinia cambogia along with fenugreek and Coleus forskohlii.

[0007] The objective of the present technical solution is to compose a dietary supplement for reducing body weight, which contains active ingredients in new combinations and mutual ratios and thereby achieves better results than is the case with known solutions. Nature of the invention

[0008] The essence of the invention lies in the provision and composition of a dietary supplement that serves to reduce body weight or that serves to reduce the body weight of a person taking the dietary supplement. The dietary supplement contains an active ingredient and a filler.

[0009] The active ingredient contains 18 to 19 wt% (percent by weight) of a green tea extract (Camellia sinensis). The extract is standardized so that 45 to 55% of its weight consists of polyphenols and 6 to 7% of its weight consists of theine. The active ingredient also contains 18 to 19 wt% of a Cambodian Garcinia extract (Garcinia cambogia) in a 10:1 ratio, 14 to 15 wt% of a Moro red orange extract (Citrus sinensis) in a 20:1 ratio, and 14 to 15 wt% of a Gymnema sylvestre extract. The Gymnema sylvestre extract is standardized so that 25% of its weight consists of gymnemic acids.

[0010] The active ingredient also contains 7 to 8% w / w of an extract from Coleus forskohlii (Coleus forskohlii). The Coleus forskohlii extract is standardized so that 5% of its weight consists of forskolin. The active ingredient also contains 7 to 8% w / w berberine from Indian barberry (Berberis aristata), 7 to 8% w / w of an extract from Paraguayan holly (Ilex paraguariensis, also known as yerba mate) in a 10:1 ratio, 7 to 8% w / w of an extract from fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) in a 10:1 ratio, and 3 to 4% w / w of an extract from saffron (Crocus sativus). The saffron extract is standardized so that 0.1 to 0.2% w / w of its weight consists of safranal. The last component of the active ingredient is chromium in an amount of max. 0.005 wt% (chromium picolinate).

[0011] The stated ratios (for example, 10:1, sometimes also referred to as DER 10:1) indicate the ratio between the amount of original plant material and the amount of extract obtained. This means that 10 units by weight of the dried plant produce 1 unit by weight of extract. This value is determined during the extraction process: the amount of plant material introduced into the extraction and the amount of dry extract remaining after solvent removal are monitored. The result is the so-called DER (Drug Extract Ratio), which expresses the degree of "concentration" of the plant material in the extract. The DER value thus describes the technological concentration of the extract and serves to compare different extracts with regard to their production ratio and processing intensity.

[0012] The dietary supplement may also contain a filler in an amount of 5 to 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the mixture. The filler contains 40 to 60% by weight of microcrystalline cellulose and 40 to 60% by weight of inulin. The filler serves primarily to adjust the volume and improve the processability of the dietary supplement. Its own nutritional or physiological effect is negligible at the specified amount.

[0013] The combination of Gymnema sylvestre, berberine from Indian barberry, and chromium enables three-phase glycemic regulation. The combination of forskolin, red Moro orange, and green tea extract has a beneficial effect on lipid metabolism, particularly lipolysis and triglyceride levels, through its synergistic action. Forskolin increases the intracellular concentration of cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate) by activating adenylate cyclase.

[0014] The extract from red Moro orange serves as an antioxidant modulator of triglyceride levels. The catechins in green tea, especially EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate), contribute to the modulation of AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase). This triple combination of active ingredients creates a dual-action effect (two different target mechanisms): fat release and prevention of new fat formation.

[0015] The combination of saffron and Paraguayan holly (yerba mate) produces a surprising and unexpected neurometabolic effect. In the specified ratio, these components work together to centrally regulate appetite and emotions, which is crucial for understanding so-called emotional eating.

[0016] The combination of Garcinia cambogia with fenugreek and Gymnema sylvestre suppresses hunger on three levels. It is a synergistic appetite-suppressing combination in which Garcinia cambogia indirectly influences the serotonergic regulation of appetite through increased glycogen signaling, thereby contributing to the induction of satiety, limiting food intake, and slowing gastric emptying. Gymnema sylvestre reduces cravings for sweets, and fenugreek, due to its soluble fiber content, promotes a feeling of fullness. These three components, in the specified proportions, create a unique triple mechanism that has not been previously described.

[0017] The specified combination of active ingredients addresses the emotional, hormonal, and metabolic (sugar- and lipid-related) aspects of weight loss simultaneously. As a result, this dietary supplement, with its specific composition, achieves better weight loss results than previously known solutions. Exemplary embodiment of the invention

[0018] An exemplary embodiment of the dietary supplement for weight reduction consists of an active ingredient and a filler. The active ingredient consists of: ◯ 18.518 wt% green tea extract, of which 50 wt% of this extract consists of polyphenols and 6.4 wt% of this extract consists of theine; ◯ 18.518 wt% extract of Cambodian Garcinia 10:1; ◯ 14.815 wt% extract of red Moro orange 20:1, ◯ 14.815 wt% extract from Gymnema sylvestre, of which 25 wt% of this extract consists of gymnemic acids; ◯ 7.407 wt% extract of Coleus forskohlii, of which 5 wt% of this extract consists of forskolin; ◯ 7.407 wt.% Berberine from Indian barberry; ◯ 7.407 wt% extract from Paraguayan holly 10:1; ◯ 7.407 wt% fenugreek extract 10:1; ◯ 3.703 wt% extract of saffron, of which 0.12 wt% of this extract consists of safranal; ◯ 0.003 wt.% Chromium.

[0019] In this case, the filler consists of 54.6% by weight of microcrystalline cellulose and 45.4% by weight of inulin. The total filler content in the dietary supplement is 7.53% by weight.

[0020] The specified blend is packaged in a transparent, vegan HPMC capsule, size 0. Due to its composition, this dietary supplement is designed to support fat burning and reduce appetite (especially for sweets), while simultaneously promoting better digestion and increased energy.
