Abstract

This disclosure provides compositions formulated in the form of tablets, wafer capsules, gel capsules, sticks, sachets, vials, droppers or in injectable form. The compositions comprise a mixture of: an extract of Chrysanthellum indicum , an extract of Cynara scolymus , an extract of Vaccinium myrtillus , an extract of Olea europaea , and pipeline. This disclosure also provides methods of treating pathological disorders of carbohydrate and/or fat metabolism in a patient by administering to the patient the compositions.
