Optimax Body Slim performs a TRIPLE ACTION:
1. METABOLISM STIMULATION - Bitter Orange and Guarana
2. WEIGHT BALANCE - Cola and Maté
3. LIQUID DRAINAGE - Dandelion and Pilosella
Stimulating the metabolism mainly means increasing the utilisation of certain components, such as fats stored in adipose tissue, to produce energy.
This process is called thermogenesis, i.e. energy production from the oxidation of body fat. Thermogenesis is called adaptive, as it can be modified by certain factors, such as exposure to cold, or foods introduced in the diet.
Thus, increased thermogenesis corresponds to increased energy production from the oxidation of body fats, resulting in weight reduction.
Weight balance
Maintaining body weight generally parallels the stimulation of metabolism. Some substances, such as caffeine, are able to have a direct action on metabolism, stimulating lipolysis, but also indirectly, stimulating the release of catecholamines, which in turn induce a thermogenic action, thus helping in weight loss, but also in weight maintenance.
Fluid drainage
Water retention is defined as a condition in which the body has a tendency to retain and accumulate fluid. Poor diet, a sedentary lifestyle, stress, hormonal imbalances, weight gain and cellulite can all contribute to a situation of retention, leading to the appearance of oedemas, which make the skin less toned and firm, and of course also to a feeling of widespread bloating, felt most strongly in the abdomen and legs.
Bitter orange
Guarana

Maté
Dandelion
Pilosella
Bitter Orange (Citrus aurantium var. amara L.)
Dry extract of Bitter Orange titrated at 6% synephrine
Fruit tree belonging to the Citrus genus, which groups citrus fruits. It is native to South-East Asia, but has also grown for centuries in Mediterranean environments and South America. Many varieties are used for the extraction of the essential oil, which is used by the perfume industry and as a flavouring additive.
Parts used: The unripe, dried fruit is rich in a mixture of sympathomimetic amines, of which synephrine is the main constituent.
Properties: synephrine may be useful in weight control, as it stimulates thermogenesis (production of body heat = increased calorie consumption) and lipolysis (utilisation of fat for energy).
Indications: it is used to help balance body weight and stimulate metabolism, particularly of lipids.
