Euromed has launched Perfix, a new product in its portfolio of Mediterranean botanical extracts. The extract is formulated to support fat loss and body composition.

In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial at the Universidad Catolica San Antonio de Murcia (UCAM) in Spain, 71 healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 65 who were classified as overweight or obese were randomized to receive either 400 mg of Perfix per day or a placebo for a 120-day intervention period. During the study, participants were instructed to maintain their usual diet and activity levels.

After the treatment period, participants in the Perfix group lost an average of 2.2 kg, while the control group saw an average increase of 0.7 kg. Fat mass decreased by 2.1 kg in the Perfix group, while there was an average fat mass increase of 1.1 kg in the placebo group.

Additionally, there were observed reductions in waist, abdominal, and hip circumferences in the Perfix group, demonstrating improved body composition. The supplement also reduced trunk fat mass by 1.1 kg, suggesting a targeted impact on abdominal and visceral fat.

Importantly, supplementation wasn’t linked to a significant reduction in lean or muscle mass, suggesting no compromises in strength or metabolic health.

These benefits, along with significant improvements in self-reported mental health status, were observed by day 60 of the intervention.

Perfix is produced using a gentle, patented extraction process which uses ultra-purified water as the sole solvent in order to preserve key bioactive compounds like tannins, polyphenols, and carotenoids.

“Today’s health-conscious consumers value natural, holistic solutions that improve quality of life and confidence,” said Andrea Zangara, head of scientific marketing and medical affairs. “The unique ability of Perfix to promote fat loss, preserve muscle, and improve body proportions aligns with the dual goals of wellness and appearance. It’s not just about weight management, it’s about achieving a healthier, more confident self. By simultaneously targeting health and aesthetics, Perfix meets modern consumers’ need for total wellness.”
