What is
Liposinol™ |
|
Liposinol™ is
NOT A DRUG.
Liposinol™ is made from standardised and granulated fibre
complex derived from 100% natural dehydrated leaves of the
nutritious cactus, Opuntia ficus-indica. Liposinol™, made from
100% natural extract containing soluble and non-soluble fibres,
has the ability to bind fats without pharmacological action or
effect on the human body and has no known harmful side effects.
Liposinol™ is a natural weight loss product, a healthy choice as
a weight management tool.
Liposinol™ contains Litramine, a patented fibre complex
obtained from a natural plant source. Litramine in Liposinol™
helps control your dietary fat intake.
|
With Litramine, you limit your daily fat intake from food and
this means limiting the calories that go into your body.
Fat is the most concentrated form of energy or calorie
source, which is more than double the amount of calories derived
from carbohydrates and proteins. Thus, reducing your daily
dietary fat intake with Liposinol™ coupled with low calorie
intake and regular exercise will show results in your weight
management program.

Taking Charge
With Liposinol™ |
 |
A healthy lifestyle, that is, a balanced diet and exercise has
always been the standard regimen for weight management programs; but
like everyone, we appreciate some help along the way. Liposinol™, as
part of
your weight management action plan, is a useful tool to help you
take charge of managing your weight.

|
Liposinol™
it's clinically proven! |
Is Liposinol™
for you? |
|
Liposinol is a unique and patented lipophilic fibre
from dehydrated leaves of cactus, Opuntia ficus-indica.
Liposinol™ has been clinically proven to be effective in
reducing dietary fat absorption, subsequently reducing
the calories absorbed from fat.
There are a few pre-clinical and clinical studies
conducted at the TNO Nutrition and Food Research, The
Netherlands and CERN (Centre d’Enseignement et de
Recherche en Nutrition) in France.
The results from these studies have consistently
shown that Liposinol™ binds 28% of dietary fat and have
proven its efficacy as a fat binder.
In a recent clinical study on Metabolic Syndrome,
Liposinol™ has once again proven its fat binding
capacity resulting in a significant reduction of
LDL-cholesterol. This study was published in 2007 a
peer-reviewed journal, Advances in Therapy.
These promising results
have shown us new angles in which to direct our research
on Liposinol™. This on-going process continues as we
further explore the diversified functions of Liposinol™
as a weight management tool.

1. What is Liposinol™?
|
|
Liposinol™ contains Litramine, a patented fibre
complex obtained from a natural plant source.
Litramine in Liposinol™ has a high affinity to bind
fats and helps control your dietary fat intake. With
Liposinol™, you limit your daily fat intake from
food and this means limiting the calories that go
into your body.
Liposinol™ is the only source of dietary fibre that
is a medical product under the MDD 93/42 EEC for
weight management and for prevention and treatment
of obesity.
|
|
2. Is Liposinol™ a drug?
|
|
Liposinol™ is not a drug. Liposinol™ contains a
patented fibre complex obtained from 100% natural
plant source that is organically grown. Liposinol™
is clinically proven to help prevent the absorption
of dietary fats by the body and hence limit the
intake of calories, whilst maintaining a healthy
digestion.
|
|
3. Will I suffer from any harmful side effect or
treatment effect?
|
|
Liposinol™ has no known harmful side effect.
Liposinol™ contains Litramine, a patented fibre
complex obtained from a natural plant source. By
virture of Liposinol™’s mechanical fat binding
action and absence of pharmacological action or
effect on the human body, Liposinol™ does not cause
any harmful side effect/treatment effect.
|
|
4. Is Liposinol™ an effective tool for weight
management?
|
|
Liposinol™ is a
clinically proven fat binder, which binds up to
28 % of dietary fat. Liposinol™ helps prevent the
absorption of fats from the diet and hence limit the
intake of calories by the body. As fat is the most
calorie-dense nutrient and concentrated form of
energy, the lesser fat you absorb, the fewer
calories your body takes in. This means you shed off
more kilos.
Also, when you incorporate Liposinol™ as part of
your weight management plan, Liposinol™ binds some
of the fat that you consume. Therefore, your body
will tap into the stored body fat and convert the
body fat for your daily energy requirement. This can
result in gradual weight loss.
|
|
5. What other benefits am I likely to see from
taking Liposinol™?
|
|
For the obese and the overweight, there are many
benefits to reducing even just a kilo or two. Many
studies show that a loss of 5% to 10% of body weight
can alleviate weight-related health problems such as
high blood pressure, high cholesterol,
cardiovascular problems and diabetes. It is
important to emphasize the health benefits of 5%
weight loss and to change the perception of those
who reject this as an insignificant amount of weight
reduction.
|
|
6. Do I need to restrict my food intake and follow a
strict diet regime?
|
|
While it’s important to limit your food choices to
those low in fat and/or calories, with the help of
Liposinol™, you will find that you can still enjoy a
considerable amount of healthy and hearty meals.
With Liposinol™, you reduce up to 28% of your daily
fat intake from food as Liposinol™ binds your
dietary fat. Your appetite and food cravings will
also be reduced. These mean lesser calorie intake
for your body.
In addition, this website will give you
tips about healthy eating and also provide
healthy recipes you can follow. This will help you
manage your food intake well. You can even indulge
in flavourful meals and snacks every day. However,
your commitment will determine the success of your
weight management plan. It depends on how committed
you are to a reduced-calorie intake and daily
physical activity.

7. What is a 'Medical Device Product'?
|
|
According to the Medical Device Directive MDD
93/43/EEC, a medical device is amongst others
defined as any article, whether used alone or in
combination, intended by the manufacturer to be used
for human beings for the purpose of:
Prevention, monitoring, treatment or alleviation of
disease and which does not achieve its principal
intended action in or on the human body by
pharmacological, immunological or metabolic means,
but which may be assisted in its function by such
means.
Liposinol™ is a medical device by virtue of its
mechanical action as a fat binder that does not
interfere with our body in a pharmacological,
immunological or metabolic way.
Liposinol™ is a certified CE marked medical product
by an EU notified body in Germany. The quality
management system of InQpharm Europe Limited (the
manufacturer) was audited and certified to
ISO9001:2000 and ISO13485:2003.
|
|
8. Is a 'Medical Device Product' the same as a
medicinal product?
|
|
Not at all! Medicinal products achieve their
function via pharmacological, immunological or
metabolic means and change physiological functions
in the body.
Liposinol™ does not have any of the above function.
Liposinol™’s packaging is clearly marked as a
'Medical Device Product', to ensure that the
consumer is not confused and categorise Liposinol™
as a medicine.
|
|
9. As a fat binder, does Liposinol™ absorb
fat-soluble vitamins like Vitamin A, D, E & K?
|
|
In the clinical study, Liposinol™ was found to have
minimal fat-soluble vitamin absorption and there is
no selective binding of fat-soluble vitamins.
As a general precaution though, it is recommended to
take a multivitamin supplement daily. It is however
not recommended to take fat-soluble vitamins or
medicines (e.g. Contraceptive Pills) within 2 hours
of taking Liposinol™.
This is not unique to Liposinol™. Even Prescription
medicines that inhibit fat absorption make a similar
recommendation and it is also generally recommended
to take a vitamin supplement with any low fat diet.
|
|
10. Is Liposinol™ suitable for vegans and
vegetarians?
|
|
Yes, Liposinol™’s active ingredient is certified
organic and undergoes a stringent quality and
standardisation process. Liposinol™ is a 100%
natural plant extract and therefore suitable for
both vegans and vegetarians.
|
|
11. Is Liposinol™ for me?
|
|
Liposinol™ can be your partner in the different
stages of your weight management action plan.
Liposinol™ is useful not only in weight loss but
also in weight maintenance. The obese, the
overweight as well as those who are in the “healthy
weight range” can benefit from Liposinol™. However,
if you are pregnant or lactating or you are taking
prescription medication, you should first consult
your physician prior to taking Liposinol™.
|
|
12. How is the quality of Liposinol™ maintained?
|
|
Liposinol™ is tested and manufactured under
pharmaceutical control procedures adhering to Good
Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines.
The quality control procedures ensure that
throughout the manufacturing process, there is a
continuous check for the presence of yeasts, moulds
and microbial contaminants. Only the very best raw
materials are used. They are sourced from
world-class suppliers to ensure standardised quality
and total traceability.
Liposinol™ is manufactured using state-of-the-art
manufacturing processes and equipment, applying
stringent hygiene procedures and thorough quality
control processes.
