Slimming tablets with green tea, yeast and bitter orange

Correct feeding

Slimming tablets, like all herbal formulations that assist low-calorie diets, represent a category of products that are in great demand in herbalist's shops, above all to doze off the guilty feelings deriving from a spellbinding period without brakes.

Also in this case, it should be pointed out that the intake of slimming tablets should be associated with a healthy, balanced and correct diet, combined with sport and the habit of drinking a lot of water, which not only helps eliminate waste from the body, but also promotes the action of the slimming product.

Example of slimming tablets

Particular is the composition of slimming tablets with green tea, chrome yeast and bitter orange:

• Green tea - extract - ( Camelia sinensis ): it is characterized by gallo-catechinic tannins and xanthine alkaloids. The first constituents have an antioxidant function: it is a very important action in a product of this type, because in people who follow a low-calorie diet ketone molecules can develop following precisely, during periods of fasting. The antioxidant action of tea plays a fundamental role in combating molecules of this type. On the other hand, xanthine alkaloids, thanks to their sympathetic-mimetic action, give a boost of energy to the metabolism, helping the subject to burn more calories.

• Chrome yeast ( saccharomyces cerevisiae ): it is a yeast known as "brewer's yeast", a biotechnological product derived from the processing of beer; represents a typical product of bread-making. In this case we speak of "chrome yeast" because the soil on which the microorganism is grown has been enriched with chromium. The presence of a yeast in a slimming product is not surprising: in fact, yeast is a source of B vitamins: in a diet, the risk of presenting a vitamin deficiency is substantial. The yeast also has a hypoglycemic action: chromium is a cofactor of insulin and for this reason it is indicated for diabetics.

• Bitter orange ( Citrus aurantium var. Amara): it is considered an anxiolytic-sedative drug (essential oil); the bitter orange peel is found in many slimming compositions, thanks to the presence of synephrine, a nitrogenous molecule with a sympathetic-mimetic action. Synephrine is important for thyroid and lipid metabolism: similarly to caffeine and xanthine alkaloids present in tea and coffee, it performs its own slimming action helping the body to exploit excess fat for energy.

Side effects

The slimming tablets formulated with yeasts, green tea and bitter orange, constitute an excellent and well-formulated product, because the number of drugs used is low and each of them has a particular function.

Despite this, a slimming product of this type, like all supplements, could present some unpleasant side effects: in fact, the drugs that act on the thyroid and on the liver (therefore on the lipidic metabolism), could create interactions with this type of slimming tablet. Still, hypertensives and heart patients should not take pills of this type, due to the potential hypertensive effects of synephrine. The use of anti-inflammatory drugs such as salicylates, if concomitant with the ingestion of similar slimming tablets, could increase the risk of gastric irritation.
