Natural Fat Absorbers
The term "fat absorber" or "fat binder" refers to a kind of natural products whose components have lipophilic properties.This means that they can bind and "absorb" the fat molecules. How this can help you lose weight? It's very simple. After ingestion of a product linking the fats, active components are going to spread in the intestine and link some of the fats coming from food, preventing them from being absorbed and assimilated by the body. Once established, fats are eliminated naturally, without being digested and therefore without providing calories. Thus, without effort or deprivation, your calorific intake is reduced and you lose weight.
These "fat absorbers" are naturally derived from plant extracts. These substances are known for hundreds of years for their ability to suppress appetite. In fact, tribes of nomads in the Sahara and in other desert regions have eaten the leaves of certain plants (cactus, aloe-vera,…) to last without food for long periods of time. The Bushmen also use cactus traditionally for centuries to avoid hunger and thirst during their long hunts in the Kalahari region.
There are several kinds of fat absorbers that have different properties depending on the product but the basic idea is that they help to lose weight by reducing the amount of fat absorbed into food, and reducing total food consumption by reducing appetite. The advantages are twofold. This natural method give you a way to lose weight easily, without effort, without pain and without risk.
Several laboratories have developed products based on lipophilic extracts from the plant. Proactol aroused the attention of health professionals because unlike Chitosan and Hoodia, the clinical studies have shown their efficiency. Also it's a certified medical product and it's in line with the directive MDD 93/42/EEC.
