Food and lack of exercise are the main factors responsible for an expanding waistline. The regular consumption of junk food (fast food, fried foods or processed meals) everywhere in modern society leads to a high intake of trans fatty acids, known to create and maintain in the adipose tissue a chronic inflammation characteristic of obesity.
Sederma has developed Intenslim, a slimming active ingredient designed to fight against fat predominantly accumulated in the stomach area. Intenslim offers a global approach on three levels. Firstly, by lessening the inflammatory condition generated in the adipose tissue in the presence of trans fatty acids (interleukin-6: –54%), the ingredient sustains the fight against fat storage. At the same time, Intenslim boosts the burning of the stored fat by the stimulation of desnutrin (+104%), the key and primary enzyme of lipolysis. Finally, in order to support the adipocyte volume reduction (–29%) related to the destocking of fat, Intenslim significantly promotes the synthesis of elastin by adipocytes to help them return to their original shape. For the first time, Sederma Laboratories has evaluated the synthesis of elastin by adipocytes. An in vivo two-month study clearly demonstrated significant and visible results on the stomach area. The mean reduction of the stomach’s circumference is 0.99 cm up to 3.90 cm. The excessive abdominal fat is strongly reduced and the stomach area is visibly flatter.
