a mixture of:
an extract obtained from a blend of at least Chrysanthellum indicum, Cynara scolymus, Vaccinium myrtillus and Olea europaea , and
pipérine, and/or
a mixture of:
an extract obtained from a blend of at least Chrysanthellum indicum, Cynara scolymus, Vaccinium myrtillus and Olea europaea , and
an extract of Piper containing piperine; and wherein the composition comprises:
at least one molecule chosen from apigenin 7-O-glucuronide, chrysanthellin A, chrysanthellin B, caffeic acid, luteolin, maritimetin, eriodictyol, isookanin, apigenin, luteolin 7-O-glucoside, maritimein, marein, eriodictyol 7-O-glucoside, flavomarein, apigenin 8-C-α-L-arabinoside-6-C-β-D-glucoside (shaftoside), apigenin 6,8-C-di-β-D-glucopyranoside (vicenin-2), dicaffeoylquinic acid, sulfo-monocaffeoylquinic acid, luteolin 7-O-glucuronide, apigenin 7-O-glucoside, cynaropicrin, or analogs thereof,
at least one molecule chosen from a monocaffeoylquinic acid, delphinidin 3-galactoside, delphinidin 3-glucoside, cyanidin 3-galactoside, delphinidin 3-arabinoside, cyanidin 3-glucoside, petunidin 3-galactoside, cyanidin 3-arabinoside, petunidin 3-glucoside, peonidin 3-galactoside, petunidin 3-arabinoside, peonidin 3-glucoside, malvidin 3-galactoside, malvidin 3-glucoside, malvidin 3-arabinoside, or analogs thereof, and
at least piperine; and
wherein the composition also comprises at least one molecule chosen from oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol, and analogs thereof.
