Beyond weight loss: Optimise body composition
perFix by Euromed is a new extract clinically proved to effectively reduce body fat, preserve muscle mass and support overall body wellness.
chieving a healthy body composition involves much more than just reducing body weight. Effective weight management should be pursued in a balanced and healthy manner to enhance quality of life, providing both physical and mental benefits. An essential goal in nutritional science is balancing effective fat reduction with the preservation of muscle mass, equally important for both women and men, and relevant across all ages. Recent clinical findings highlight perfix, an innovative persimmon fruit extract developed by Euromed, as an effective nutritional solution that simultaneously promotes fat loss, supports muscle preservation and enhances overall body wellness. perFix is the latest ingredient in the category of Mediterranean fruit and vegetable extracts, derived from Mediterranean persimmons using a gentle, patented extraction process using ultra- purified water (Pure-Hydro process), which preserves key bioactive compounds such as tannins, polyphenols and carotenoids. This persimmon extract provides a solution that goes beyond aesthetic improvements, offering consumers an option that prioritises health and sustained results without associated adverse effects.

The study findings highlight persimmon extract as a valuable ingredient in nutritional formulations aimed at supporting healthy ageing and enhancing overall quality of life across all age groups.
Supplementation with perFix, at 400mg/ Extracts on trial
A recently published clinical trial by the Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia (UCAM) in Spain showed significant results in just 60 days, without any changes to diet or exercise. This randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study included 71 adults aged 18 to 65, all categorised as overweight or mildly obese. Over the course of 120 days, participants continued their regular dietary habits and physical activity routines, ensuring that the outcomes observed were exclusively attributable to the effects of the persimmon extract.

day, demonstrated significant overall weight reduction, notably emphasising fat loss. Participants taking perFix lost an average of 2.2kg of weight and 2.1kg of fat mass, compared with the placebo group, which saw increases in both. The perFix group also experienced reductions in waist (-2.4cm), abdominal (-2.2cm) and hip circumference (-1.7cm), as well as a 1.1kg reduction in trunk fat mass. Remarkably, 90% of the weight loss was due to reduced body fat, highlighting the extract’s precision in enhancing body composition and wellness. Importantly, the study confirmed perFix’s capability to preserve muscle mass during weight reduction, a key factor in maintaining physical strength, mobility and overall health as individuals age.
Beyond body composition improvements, the trial also observed an increased excretion of dietary fats and significant antioxidant properties, suggesting an additional beneficial mechanism that supports healthy weight management. Participants also reported enhancements in quality-of-life parameters, indicating that perFix also contributes significantly to overall well-being and mental health.
Still a challenge
Obesity remains a complex health challenge, frequently associated with metabolic inflammation and muscle loss, particularly when calorie restriction is inadequately managed. Current pharmacological approaches often result in unwanted muscle depletion, raising concerns about long-term health outcomes and the sustainability of weight loss. In this context, perFix offers promising results by significantly reducing inflammatory markers while preserving muscle mass, suggesting broader applications in managing both overweight and inflammatory metabolic conditions. Interventions like perFix represent a promising nutritional strategy for sustainable body wellness, effectively targeting the dual challenges of reducing fat mass while safeguarding muscle integrity. Considering that study participants did not alter their diet or physical activity, combining perFix with dietary interventions and appropriate exercise represents a promising strategy to enhance physical condition, improve appearance, support mental well-being, and ultimately achieve an integrated approach to a healthier lifestyle. ●
