In a randomised, double-blind study⁵, 115 women with central obesity were randomly allocated to a group receiving high doses of green tea extract or to a placebo group. Those taking green tea for 12 weeks achieved significant weight loss, a reduction in waist circumference and a reduction in plasma total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein levels. Green tea consumption was also confirmed to increase thermogenesis, the rate at which the body burns calories, from 8-10% to 35-43% of daily energy expenditure.

Spirulina powder is an excellent source of protein, antioxidants and vitamins and trace elements. It is valued for its detoxifying, antioxidant and immune-supporting properties and is classed as a so-called superfood due to its high concentration of nutrients.

The highest quality prickly pear fruit extract. This is an unusual plant from the cactus family that occurs naturally in Mexico. Prickly pear fruit is one of the richest sources of indicaxanthin, the most bioavailable form of betalain pigment with scientifically proven properties. This substance shows strong antioxidant properties, inhibits water retention and promotes its removal from the body. It helps to emphasize muscle definition, reduce waist size and slim the figure.

The effect of the ingredient was confirmed in a clinical study⁶, on a group of 49 female volunteers with a normal BMI (body mass index). The women were divided into 2 groups, one taking prickly pear extract and the other a placebo. The women in the placebo group gained up to 3 kg, while the women in the group receiving Cacti-Nea™ had significant weight loss.
