Many people who are overweight have a hard time reducing their fat intake. Therefore, lifestyle measures for weight reduction often result in frustration. A fat absorbent can effectively support the success of weight loss as shown by an example from a routine therapy at a general practitioner’s clinic

Rita* knows exactly why she’s eating too much: “I always had to be there for others. Parents and parents-in-law need me to take care of them,” says Rita. And so, with eating, she created a stronghold and a little escape from everyday life.

The consequence: while Rita was 58kg at her wedding, she was already 72kg when her children were born. She is now 52 years old and weighs 93kg at a body height of 1.74m - a body mass index of 30kg/m2. When she wanted to buy something nice to wear and could not find an outfit to suit her figure, she decided to ask her physician for help.

Weight loss success with formoline L112 and exercise

Rita was advised by her physician to go fast walking three times per week, as well as adopt a sensible diet.

To support the lifestyle changes the physician recommends the fat absorbent formoline L112. It binds dietary fats in the digestive tract. The main component of formoline L112 is a polyglucosamine with a very high fat-binding capacity. This lipid absorbent can be applied to support the treatment of weight loss, for long-term weight control as well as reduction of cholesterol uptake. Two tablets are usually taken twice daily with main meals together with a sufficient amount of water.

In particular people who have a hard time switching to a low-fat diet can benefit from the treatment. For Rita the treatment concept was successful: after six weeks her weight was at 90.2 kg.

“After the end of the observation period the patient is still taking formoline L112, and since then she has been able to reduce her weight to 88.7 kg,” says her physician. formoline L112 is very well tolerated and suitable for long-term weight stabilisation.
