According to the World Heart Federation (WHF), hyperlipidemia leads to 4.4 million deaths worldwide annually (7.8% of total deaths). Over 39% of adults are affected by hyperlipidemia, and this number is rapidly increasing. Hyperlipidemia is associated with leading cause of death – cardiovascular disease, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, etc.
There are more than 2.6 billion overweight or obese people in the world. The United States spends US$160 billion every year on treating obesity-related diseases, and the economic losses caused are no less than the economic impact caused by the new coronavirus epidemic!
The WHO indicates that citrus fruits can effectively prevent cardiovascular diseases due to active compounds flavonoids. However, although citrus is nutritious, its potassium and sugar content are high, so it is still not recommended to eat too much every day.
HPMFs (hydroxyl polymethoxyflavones) are a type of flavonoids rarely found in citrus. These flavonoids have a molecular structure with additional hydroxyl and methoxy groups as compared with typical citrus flavonoids. Considering their unique physiological activities, HPMFs enable to lower blood lipid level and inhibit pancreatic lipase activity and exert anti-obesity effect.
The content of HPMFTM naturally occurring in citrus is rare. Approximately 15000 citruses can produce 1kg of HPMFTM by a scientific and patented process, making the specifications and quality uniform for mass production, allowing you to use smaller doses. Easier and more convenient way to supplement the most beneficial citrus active ingredients.
