Innovative phytocomplexes for metabolic support and fluid balance
With the end of summer approaching, it’s the perfect time to look ahead and start planning next year’s innovations.
In the summer season, our body faces a series of physiological changes induced by rising temperatures and greater exposure to the sun. The heat can contribute to reduced energy levels, distruptions in the hydro-electrolytic balance and fluid retention, often experienced as swelling in the lower limbs or a general feel of heaviness. In these conditions, targeted nutraceutical support can be particularly beneficial to restore metabolic balance and promote the drainage of excess fluids.
To meet these seasonal needs, NatIng has developed two botanical formulations:
CaffShock®
CaffShock® is a synergistic blend of green coffee, guarana, green tea, maca and mate, plants known for their stimulating, tonic and thermogenic properties. Acting as a natural metabolic booster, the blend promotes lipolysis and increases resting energy expenditure. Pre-clinical studies conducted by NatIng confirm these effects. The plant matrices used in CaffShock® are recognised and admitted by the Italian Ministry of Health (Annex 1 – Botanicals of the Ministerial Decree of 10 August 2018), with beneficial effects on the body approved for tonic-adaptogenic activity, metabolic support, antioxidant activity, drainage of liquids, intestinal functionality, body weight balance and stimulation of lipid metabolism.
OpunCherry®
OpunCherry® is an innovative phytocomplex based on cherry stalks and prickly pear paddle – botanicals rich in flavonoids, mucilage and minerals with natural diuretic properties. The formulation also includes citric acid and malic acid, organic compounds that support digestive processes while offering metabolic and antioxidant benefits. Both cherry stalks and prickly pear plants are acknowledged by the Italian Ministry of Health, for their beneficial roles in promoting fluid drainage, supporting with weight balance, modulating nutrient absorption and contributing to digestive comfort and intestinal regularity.

Natural ingredients providing a refreshing, draining and rebalancing action can support the body in a targeted and synergistic way. Our selection of NatIng summer botanicals for light and summer formulations includes:
Melon extract (Cucumis melo L.)
Rich in beta-carotene, vitamin C and potassium, it is the ideal ingredient for summer supplements with antioxidant and mineralising action. Melon extracts can be used in stick packs, functional waters and soft gels to support hydro-electrolytic balance and protection from oxidative stress.
Cucumber extract (Cucumis sativus L.)
A detox ingredient par excellence, cucumber is known for its purifying and refreshing action. We offer titrated solutions and natural flavors for applications in cold herbal teas, liquid extracts or on-the-go formulations to support microcirculation and skin.
Tomato extract (Solanum lycopersicum L.)
A natural source of lycopene, a carotenoid with strong antioxidant and protective activity for the skin and cardiovascular system. Our extracts, standardised in lycopene, are suitable for soft gels, capsules or combinations with other active ingredients for cellular defense and anti-photoaging.
Watermelon extract (Citrullus lanatus)
Contains natural L-citrulline, a key amino acid for vascular function and physical performance. Watermelon extract is ideal for sports supplements, draining and summer multivitamins, with fresh and pleasant aromatic profiles.
