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? |
