A concentrated extract for a targeted functional response

Cigua is naturally rich in:
- Phytosterols
- Flavonoids
- Saponins
- Phenolic compounds with antioxidant activity
This formulation makes the extract potentially suitable for supplements designed to support cholesterol management, lipid metabolism, and cardiovascular health.

Thanks to its botanical origin and functional profile, caigua offers an appealing solution for those seeking ingredients that support overall metabolic health through a gradual, physiological approach.
