12 Mar 2010 --- Bio Serae is introducing Serenzo at Vitafoods, a revolutionary ingredient for stress relief support, outcome of numerous research works.

Serenzo is claimed to help reduce stress symptoms and to improve mood, via a particular mechanistic. Thanks to its original properties, Serenzo helps to reduce the inflammation induced by stress and consequently contributes to slow down the vicious circle of stress and thus limits the stress response. Thanks to its well documented anti-stress properties, Serenzo' offers a healthy alternative to preserve well-being and serenity.

Serenzo is a natural, safe and scientifically tested ingredient, which makes it the ideal ingredient to incorporate into dietary supplements designed for stress management.

Meanwhile the latest clinical study conducted on Cacti-Nea has confirmed the diuretic and weight management effect of this original prickly pear cactus fruit extract (Opuntia ficus-indica).

The 28-days clinical study was conducted on 49 women with normal BMI (between 20 and 25). The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate Cacti-Nea’s diuretic effect at the dose of 2g/day, in women showing water retention. Very positive results were highlighted, confirming the benefits of this innovative ingredient:
• Cacti-Nea induces a positive effect on body composition by limiting fat mass gain.
• Cacti-Nea shows a significant reduction of water mass after one week of treatment.
• We observe a significant weight loss in the Cacti-Nea group.
• Contrary to other diuretic substances, Cacti-Nea does not show any side effect on blood pressure nor on mineral balance. No excessive mineral loss was observed.

Cacti-Nea is a natural cactus fruit extract, entirely soluble. It can easily be incorporated into dietary supplements or functional food and beverages for diuretic or weight management applications.

Cacti-Nea is now also available Organic (certified by Ecocert SAS).
