The extract of Ficus indica (Neopuntia™), which has won prestigious international awards for its effectiveness and quality, binds the fats ingested with food, preventing their absorption in the intestine. Scientific studies show that 1 gram of Neopuntia™ binds up to 15-20 grams of saturated fats; this binding capacity exceeds that of any other known substance.

Recent studies carried out using a mechanical model capable of faithfully simulating all the physiological conditions of the gastrointestinal tract (pH, enzyme concentrations, bile salt concentrations, etc.) have in fact shown that 2 g of Neopuntia™ was able to absorb over 28.3% of the total saturated, unsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids present, limiting their absorption.

The extract is also traditionally used for its good blood sugar lowering and lipid lowering properties.

Phaseolamin is a vegetable protein obtained from white kidney beans. It is able to influence the absorption of carbohydrates because it reduces the activity of alpha-amylase enzymes, which are active in the digestion of starch.

Phaseolamin has a high affinity for pancreatic amylase, to which it binds, thereby reducing its enzymatic activity. In this way, complex carbohydrates, which are no longer converted into simple sugars, are not reabsorbed but are excreted in the feces.

The new formulation contains Ascophyllum nodosum extract (ID-alG™), a brown algae grown using a 100% green method and contains a group of substances known as phlorotannins.

These have demonstrated clinically significant enzyme inhibitory properties of up to 50% on lipase and amylase, the enzymes responsible for the digestion of fats and sugars.

This property results in a reduction in the absorption of calories from these macronutrients, resulting in weight loss when 0 Calories are consumed continuously.

The subjects who responded most successfully to ID-alG™ treatment had a BMI <32. Another property highlighted in the clinical studies conducted with ID-alG™, which confirms the inhibitory effect of amylase, is the reduction of glycated hemoglobin Hbg. ID-alG™ has no adverse effects, it is only contraindicated in people who have an intolerance to iodine intake (the content corresponds to 37.5 mcg per tablet).

The intake of 0 Calorie is therefore effective in those who intend to lose weight, controlling their sugar intake, but not completely giving up some pleasures of the table.
