The formoline L112 tablets are a medical product - lipid binder for weight reduction and weight control with LDL cholesterol-lowering accompanying effect. For the treatment of overweight and obesity.

Lipid binder to support the:

• Treatment of obesity
• weight control
• Reduction of cholesterol absorption from food

Mode of action

• formoline L112 - Reduces the absorption of calories from dietary fats.
• The main ingredient in formoline L112 is the fibre polyglucosamine (L112). It is of natural origin and can bind large quantities of dietary fats in the digestive tract due to its very high fat-binding capacity. The main ingredient of formoline L112 is indigestible and is excreted naturally with the fats bound to it. In addition, the indigestible and swollen fibres in formoline L112 have a slightly satiating effect.
• formoline L112 is particularly effective against obesity caused by a high-fat diet such as fatty meat, sausage, butter, cheese, crisps, nuts, cakes or ice cream. Other food components such as sugar, carbohydrates, protein or alcohol are not bound by formoline L112; these calories should be reduced as they are otherwise fully available to the body.
• It is not recommended to take formoline L112 with vitamin-rich meals (salad/vegetables) with high-quality oils or omega-3 fatty acids (salmon etc.), as the fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids can be partially bound.
