A method for the treatment of a mammal to limit its weight and improve the aesthetic appearance of its body thereof, comprising internally administering a dietary or nutraceutical composition to the mammal in amounts effective to control the sugar uptake by the body, said composition comprising a dihydrochalcone-rich polyphenolic fraction where the fraction is obtained from fruit of the Rosacea family and comprises at least 10% by weight of polyphenols, and at least 10% by weight of the total polyphenols is phloridzin.
A method for the cosmetic treatment of a mammal to limit the weight and improve the aesthetic appearance of the body, thereof said method comprising:
- internally administering a dietary or nutraceutical composition to the mammal, said composition comprising a dihydrochalcone-rich polyphenolic fraction from the fruit of the Rosacea family;
- said fraction containing, by weight, more than 10% of total polyphenols, wherein at least 10% by weight of the polyphenols is phloridzin, wherein not more than 11% and preferably between 2% and 11% of the polyphenols is chlorogenic acid, wherein not more than 4% of the polyphenols is epicatechin, wherein not more than 2% of the polyphenols is procyanidin B2, wherein no more than 2% of the polyphenols is quercitrin, wherein not more than 2% of the polyphenols is quercetin, wherein not more than 0.5% of the polyphenols is p-coumaric acid, and wherein less than 0.5% of the polyphenols is caffeic acid.
