New weight loss powder

**admin** · 12-23-2009, 10:59 AM

I have a product called Cacti-nea that I may consider getting. Its a weight loss product. the research looks promising because its only a 30 day. Which is really quick compared to all other weight loss products that are typically 3 months.

If anyone wants to be a guinea pig let me know. I want a decent log kept. Pictures would be nice to, but not necessary.

thanks.

Post a reply that you want to try and what your stats are right now.
thanks.

Introduction

Cacti-Nea™ is a natural water extract of prickly pear cactus fruit (

Opuntia ficus-indica) which already revealed
original diuretic and antioxidant properties (bibliographical data, in vivo study on rats). At the light of these
encouraging data, Bio Serae Laboratories recently conducted a clinical study in order to confirm the
diuretic and weight management effect of Cacti-Nea™ on Human, and to enrich its scientific background.
This technical paper will first introduce the prickly pear fruits and their exceptional nutritional content. We will
review the preliminary studies which support the diuretic properties of Cacti-Nea™ and will then explore the
results of the latest clinical study.

Original cactus fruit water extract

Prickly pear cactus (also called

Opuntia ficus-indica) was introduced into the Mediterranean area as of the XVIth

century. This plant was indeed well adapted to the climatic conditions of arid and semi-arid regions and offered a
good alternative as fodder plant to local farmers.
For many years now, Bio Serae has established strong partnerships with

Opuntia ficus-indica producers, and
conducted extensive research works aiming at improving their know-how on prickly pear cactus. At the light of
the exceptional nutritional properties of prickly pear Bio Serae Laboratories developed an exclusive process
designed to preserve the nutritional properties of the fruit and now offer Cacti-Nea™, a soluble cactus fruit

powder naturally rich in indicaxanthin with diuretic and weight-management properties.

Preliminary results supporting Cacti-Nea™'s weight
management properties
(on-going publication)

Several scientific studies were conducted on prickly pear fruit (

in vitro, in vivo) and showed diuretic properties of

these cactus fruits (Perfumi & Tacconi, 1996; Galati

et al., 2002). Early in 2008, Bio Serae conducted a specific in

vivo

study on rats which confirmed the significant diuretic effect of its original and branded cactus fruit ingredient,

Cacti-Nea™.

The results of this study will soon be published in Phytotherapy Research.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the diuretic property of Cacti-Nea™, original cactus fruit extract, orally

administrated to male Wistar rats at the dose of 240 mg/kg/day.

After a 7-days acclimatization period to the laboratory conditions, 18 rats, weighted 150 to 175 g, were

randomised on their weight basis in 3 groups (n=6) :

»

a control group,

»

a group treated with hydrochlorothiazide at a dose of 10 mg/kg/day

»

a group treated with Cacti-Nea™ at a dose of 240 mg/kg/day (corresponding to an equivalent human

dosage of 2g/day).

Daily oral treatment of rats (D1 to D7)

Number of

rats

Product administrated Dose (mg/kg)

Control 6 water -

The animals were weighted daily so they were administrated the proper dose of tested substance. The average

daily consumption of food was 15 to 20 g/rat and the average daily consumption of water was 20 to 25 g/rat.

The viability and behavior of the animals were recorded daily and the main parameters measured were the urine

volume / 24 hours and the urinary parameters (levels of sodium, potassium and uric acid).

The results showed that, along with a regular hydration,

Cacti-Nea™ helped to :
