Evolution Slimming, maker of Calxpel
British Evolution Slimming laboratories show signs of reliability and seriousness as evidenced by the following facts:
- The company has specialized for several years in the manufacture and marketing of nutrition and well-being supplements;
- The online store has been certified as “trusted” by a team of independent doctors;
- The company is GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) certified;
- The website is full of information aimed at helping anyone wishing to regain their healthy weight, and improve their health, to regain healthy lifestyle habits.
But even if we appreciate the seriousness of this manufacturer, it is essential for us to remain uncompromising on the quality of the ingredients chosen for Calxpel.
Calxpel ingredients
Calxpel is made up of the following ingredients:
1. Citrus Aurantium:
Derived from bitter orange, citrus aurantium, whose active substance is synephrine, boosts metabolism and fat burning. This ingredient is recognized for its fat burning effects, and has often been associated with caffeine to reinforce these same effects.
However, be careful, because citrus aurantium is a potentially dangerous substance. It would have effects very similar to those of ephedrine, and its use in the composition of food supplements has been regulated by the government since 2014.
Referring to a public order published on July 17, 2014 on the site of the public service for the dissemination of law and which determines the list of plants, other than mushrooms, authorized in food supplements and the conditions of their use (order available for consultation below this paragraph), we can read that:
- The amount of Synephrine should be less than 20mg per recommended daily dose;
- The labeling must include a warning advising against the product for children, pregnant or breast-feeding women, as well as people suffering from hypertension;
- It is forbidden to add caffeine or caffeine source ingredients in the composition of the product.
We regret the lack of indication concerning the exact dose of citrus aurantium in Calxpel, even if, originating in Great Britain, Calxpel is perhaps not subject to the same legislation as products from European or French laboratories.
2. Guarana:
Guarana is particularly appreciated during slimming diets, because it contains a good proportion of caffeine.
Caffeine is officially recognized as an adjuvant (reinforcing agent) of weight-loss diets, due to its appetite suppressant, diuretic and fat-burning effects.
In addition to this, guarana helps reduce stress, which is a major factor in weight gain, and boosts libido.
According to French legislation, guarana being a source of caffeine, its association with citrus aurantium in a slimming pill is not authorized. check out our detailed article on guarana HERE.
3. Ginseng:
An adaptogenic plant, ginseng is a powerful general tonic. It activates digestion and promotes the elimination of toxins and liver function.
Ginseng, due to its tonic properties, boosts mental functions, but also endurance and the ability to provide physical effort.
4. White Bean:
White bean extract would have the ability to block the assimilation of carbohydrates (or carbohydrates) by the body.
Thus, instead of being transformed into glucose, which will be stored as body fat, part of the carbohydrates will not be digested by the body, and therefore simply rejected, thus limiting fat stores.
5. Garcinia:
Garcinia cambogia would act on 3 levels, namely the burning of fat, the reduction of appetite, and the modification of carbohydrate metabolism.
We leave you to read our complete article on garcinia to learn more about this ingredient, HERE.
6. Gymnema Sylvestre:
This plant could help reduce blood glucose levels, mainly in people with Type 1 and 2 diabetes.
7. Pollen:
Derived from the hive and the work of bees, pollen is an ingredient with multiple virtues.
It stimulates the body in general, strengthens it, in particular by allowing it to fight effectively against infections, viruses and diseases.
It stimulates transit, has anti-constipation properties, and acts as a restorative and anti-fatigue.
The science behind Calxpel
The official website does not mention a clinical study specifically dedicated to evaluating the effects of Calxpel.
However, several studies exist on the ingredients used in its composition. Let’s summarize:
In the study that we quote here with regard to caffeine, 76 obese or overweight subjects consumed, for 4 weeks, 150mg of caffeine per day.
The results showed that daily intake of high doses of caffeine is associated with weight loss, through increased fat oxidation and thermogenesis.

Regarding the effects of white beans, it should be noted that several studies have been carried out on phaseolamin, the active agent in beans.
After 4 weeks of phaseolamin supplementation, the test group had lost an average of 4 kg, while continuing to eat carbohydrates in the usual way.

Regarding gymnema sylvestre, a preliminary clinical trial on subjects with Type 1 or 2 diabetes showed that this plant can effectively reduce blood glucose levels.
The results, however, could not be duplicated to date.
