Orthosiphon is one of the most frequently encountered in European and Asian herbal medicine products. This plant is intended to accompany a slimming diet.
Originally from Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Indonesia), the orthosiphon (Orthosiphon stamineus) is a shrub that can reach two meters. In the spring, before flowering, the leaves and stem ends are harvested and then dried. Orthosiphon has been used in Indian medicine for centuries to relieve urinary tract infections (cystitis). It is also known as “Java tea”, “barbiflora” or “cat’s whiskers” because of its long stamens. Today, orthosiphon is offered as a diuretic(to promote the elimination of water by the kidney) and as a cholagogue, to stimulate the emptying of the gallbladder. It is frequently contained in phytotherapyproducts intended for weight loss.

Garcinia cambogia is a tree native to India and Southeast Asia whose fruit looks like a small pumpkin (less than 5 cm in diameter). The rind of the fruit is used to make garcinia supplements: it is one of the few significant sources of hydroxycitric acid (HCA), the molecule largely responsible for its weight loss benefits.
Inhibition of ATP-citrate lyase. HAC could inhibit ATP-citrate lyase, an enzyme necessary for the synthesis of fatty acids, used in particular to convert excess sugar and starch in the diet into fats. It is believed that reducing the activity of this enzyme leads to a decrease in lipogenesis (storage of fat) and, therefore, a reduction in weight.
Increased lipid oxidation. ATP-citrate lyase appears to generate acetyl-COA, a molecule that indirectly inhibits fat oxidation. The reduction in ATP-citrate lyase activity leads to a drop in acetyl-COA and therefore an increase in fat oxidation, more commonly known as “fat burning”. This effect can be enhanced by combining it with aerobic exercises.
