Liposinol^TM is not a drug!

Liposinol^TM contains Litramine^TM, a natural patented fibre complex derived from 100% natural dehydrated leaves of a nutritious cactus. Liposinol^TM, with its ability to bind fats without any pharmacological action or effects on the human body, is a unique weight management product certified as a Class IIa medical device. Liposinol^TM has no known harmful side effects. Its safety and efficacy are assessed under Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC.

Liposinol^TM works in more ways than one. The patented fibre complex in Liposinol^TM contains two types of fibres, the soluble and non-soluble.

Several pre-clinical (in vitro) studies on the fat binding efficacy of Liposinol^TM were conducted at the TNO Nutrition and Food Research (The Netherlands). These studies used TNO's in vitro gastrointestinal model, TIM. The patented and well-validated TIM simulates physiological digestion conditions systems and has been mentioned in over 30 scientific, peer-reviewed publications. Regulatory authorities, including the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA), accept data from TIM systems.

In addition to pre-clinical studies, several human clinical studies were also conducted in France and Germany.

The results from these studies have consistently shown Liposinol's^TM efficacy as a fat binder that binds up to 27.4% of dietary fats.

In a clinical study on Metabolic Syndrome, Liposinol^TM has proven its fat binding capacity resulting in a significant reduction of LDL- cholesterol. This study was published in the 2007 peer-reviewed journal, Advances in Therapy.

A recent 2-armed, randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled fat elimination study of Liposinol^TM conducted in Germany has once again proven Liposinol^TM as a superior fat binder, which also resulted in weight loss and increased satiation.

These studies have not only proven Liposinol's^TM efficacy, but have also shown us new directions in which to direct our future research on Liposinol^TM. Liposinol is subject to an extensive on-going study and development programme, as we continue to further explore the many benefits of this great product.

4. Is LiposinolTM an effective tool for weight management?

LiposinolTM is a clinically proven fat binder, which binds up to 27.4% of dietary fats. LiposinolTM 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 less fat you absorb, the fewer calories your body takes in. This means you shed off more kilos.

5. What other benefits am I likely to see from taking LiposinolTM?

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 LiposinolTM, you will find that you can still enjoy a considerable amount of healthy and hearty meals. With LiposinolTM, you reduce up to 27.4% of your daily fat intake from food as LiposinolTM 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 93/42/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 achieves its principal intended action in or on the human body, not through any pharmacological, immunological or metabolic means, but which may be assisted in its function by such means. LiposinolTM 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. LiposinolTM 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. LiposinolTM does not have any of the above function. Liposinol'sTM packaging is clearly marked as a 'Medical Device Product', to ensure that the consumer is not confused and categorise LiposinolTM as a medicine.

9. As a fat binder, does LiposinolTM absorb fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin A, D, E & K?

In the clinical study, LiposinolTM 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 LiposinolTM. This is not unique to LiposinolTM. 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 LiposinolTM for me?

LiposinolTM can be your partner in the different stages of your weight management action plan. LiposinolTM 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 LiposinolTM. However, if you are pregnant, lactating or taking prescription medication, you should first consult your physician prior to taking LiposinolTM.
