Italian term or phrase: ti rimetti a posto prima del mare
Hopefully the last query in this document. This appears on a page of graphics relating to Dulcofibre. The other bullets under which this term appears are: outside target population; bifidus regularis copy; too seasonal; ti rimetti a posto prima del mare
I'm just no good at colloquial Italian.

what the text says is

"ti rimetti a posto" = you get yourself in shape

NOT

"ti rimette a posto" = it gets you in shape (or any variants thereof)

you get back in shape before beach season


Explanation:
"prima del mare" - a colloquial way of saying "beach season" or that time of year when the weather is hot and one dons a swimsuit to go to the beach. From the context (Dulcofibre), it seems as though the phrase in question is referring to a fabric of some sort that is used in swimming attire. "Ti rimetti a posto" could also have the meaning of re-establishing oneself--as in the case of a move from one location to another--before beach season.
