Description

“Slimming beverage composition”
Field of the invention
The present invention concerns a slimming composition, in particular a slimming cosmetic composition and a slimming pharmaceutical composition, and a beverage comprising said slimming composition.
Background of the invention
In western countries, obesity in the general population has increased dramatically due to a combination of various factors including over consumption of carbohydrate rich food and fat rich food, physical inactivity, genetics and health problems.
It is generally accepted that obesity impacts the incidence of cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cancer, osteoarthritis, and sleep apnea. As a consequence, obesity has become a global public health concern. Various strategies have been develop to help people lose weight and slimming beverages have thus become very popular is recent times. Slimming beverages are often based on green tea which comprises polyphenols, caffeine and anti-oxidants. However, the weight loss efficiency of green tea can vary significantly due, among other things to genetics and consumption habits. As a result, the weight loss is not always satisfactory.
Other popular teas used for weight loss include puerh tea, black tea, oolong tea and white tea.
However, weight loss is not always satisfactory when known slimming beverages are used. Therefore, there is a continuous need for improved slimming beverages and beverage composition with improved weight loss properties. Summary of the invention
The inventors have surprisingly found out that the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems.
In one aspect, the present invention concerns a composition [composition (B), herein after] comprising, relative to the total dry weight of the composition (B):

In another aspect, the present invention also concerns a slimming beverage comprising said composition (B), composition (Be), or composition (BT).
Detailed description of the invention
Within the context of the present invention, the term “comprising” should not be interpreted as being restricted to the means listed thereafter; it does not exclude other elements. It needs to be interpreted as specifying the presence of the stated features, integers, or components as referred to, but does not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, or components, or groups thereof. Thus, the scope of the expression “a composition comprising compounds A and B” should not be limited to compositions consisting only of compounds A and B. It means that with respect to the present invention, the only relevant compounds of the composition are A and B. Accordingly, the terms “comprising” and “including” encompass the more restrictive terms “consisting essentially of” and “consisting of”.
In the context of the present invention, the terms “slimming beverage” and “slimming composition” are intended to denote respectively a beverage and a composition suitable for inducing a decrease in body weight (e.g., a decrease of 2%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 70%, 80%, or 90%) and/or a decrease of body dimensions (e.g., measurements of the bust, waist, and/or hips) and/or a decrease in body fat.
Within the context of the present invention the term “green tea extract” is given its usual meaning as known in the art. In general a green tea extract may be a material obtained by at least one solvent (such as water) extraction from Camellia sinensis leaves and/or buds. A process for producing green tea extract may also comprise additional steps. Generally, for green tea, Camellia sinensis leaves and buds do not undergo the same withering and oxidation processes used to make oolong teas and black teas. Generally, a green tea extract comprises polyphenols, caffeine and anti-oxidants. Examples of polyphenols present in green tea extracts include but are not limited to: epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin gallate (ECG), epicatechin (EC), and mixtures thereof.
Within the context of the present invention the term “green coffee bean extract” is given its usual meaning as known in the art. In general a green coffee bean extract may be a material obtained by solvent (such as water and/or ethanol and/or any other suitable solvents) extraction from green coffee beans. A process for producing green coffee bean extract may also comprise additional steps such as coffee beans grinding. Within the context of the present invention, the term “green coffee bean” refers to either immature coffee beans or even mature coffee beans which have not been roasted.
Within the context of the present invention the term “Hibiscus extract” is given its usual meaning as known in the art. In general a Hibiscus extract may be a material obtained by solvent (such as water and/or ethanol) extraction from Hibiscus flowers, such as Hibiscus sabdariffa flowers. A process for producing Hibiscus extract may also comprise additional steps. The extraction is for example often carried out by maceration. Generally, hibiscus extracts comprise protocatechuic acid and anthocyanins, such as delphinidin-3-O-glucoside, delphinidin-3-O- sambubioside, and cyanidin-3-O-sambubioside and mixtures thereof.
Within the context of the present invention the term “Guarana extract” is given its usual meaning as known in the art. In general a Guarana extract may be a material obtained by solvent (such as water and/or ethanol) extraction from guarana seeds and/or plant. A process for producing Guarana extract may also comprise additional steps. The guarana plant is also called Paullinia Cupana. Generally guarana extracts comprise polyphenols such as catechin and stimulants, such as caffeine, theophylline and theobromine.
Extracts are usually obtained via solvent extraction which are then concentrated and/or dried. Thus, in the context of the present invention, the term “extract” encompasses a liquid and a solid extract.
Said composition (B), as detailed above, may also be in liquid or solid form.
The present invention further concerns a slimming composition [composition (B), herein after] comprising, relative to the total dry weight of the composition (B):
- from 30.00 to 70.00 percent by weight [wt. %, herein after] of green tea extract and/or green coffee bean extract;
- from 10.00 to 40.00 wt. % of Hibiscus extract;
- from 0.10 to 10.00 wt. % of guarana extract; and
- from 10.00 to 40.00 wt. % of at least one fat burning ingredient chosen among L-carnitine, alkanoylated L-carnitine, or salts thereof.
Green tea, Hibiscus and Guarana are known to induce body weight loss and/or body fat reduction. Fat burning ingredients such as L-carnitine, as their name indicate, are also known to promote body fat reduction. Thus, broadly speaking, these ingredients may be described as having a slimming effect. The inventors have found that the composition (B), as detailed above, comprising all these ingredients combined together with guarana extract in the above mentioned weight percentages, has an improved slimming effect. Therefore, the composition (B), as detailed above, is a slimming composition which is suitable for use in non- therapeutic cosmetic methods for improving the aesthetic appearance of a person. Particularly, the composition (B) is a slimming composition which is suitable for use in non-therapeutic cosmetic methods of slimming care. Indeed, there is a synergy between the guarana extract and the other ingredients of the composition (B). As a result, the improved slimming effect of the composition (B) is more important than the sum of the slimming effects caused by each of the ingredients of the composition (B). This result is all the more surprising given the small amount of guarana extract comprised in the composition (B).
