Our in vitro-massive data studies have demonstrated that Sculpup™ significantly modulates de expression of half genes related with increased volume, more than 3,500 genes in total. It boots adipocyte metabolism, acts on collagen and has a high antioxidant capacity, promoting fuller, firmer contours with a lasting effect. 
Our in vivo efficacy test on a panel of Caucasian and Brazilian woman volunteers demonstrated that Sculpup™ increases bust volume by one extra bust cup size and buttock circumference by up to 3 cm.  
Sculpup™ enhances the most authentic beauty with smart, proadipogenic organic blackberry.
