4 published clinical studies have shown the new medical device Proactol was able to regulate blood lipid levels and thus participate in reducing cardiovascular risk. The studies showed that Proactol was able to bind over 27% of dietary fat intake, reduce calorie intake from dietary fats, help reduce excess body weight, suppress appetite, reduce blood cholesterol levels and reduce food cravings among the test subjects in the clinical studies.



Proactol is a patented fibre complex that is a 100% natural, 100% organic fat binder made from dehydrated leaves of the nutritious cactus "Opuntia ficus-indica".

This natural fibre complex consists of two fibers; a non-soluble fibre and a soluble fibre that both work in different ways to help you manage your weight.

The studies showed that when Proactol non-soluble fibres come into contact with dietary fats, it binds with them immediately to form a fluid gel around the fat making it insoluble. Unabsorbed fats then pass naturally through your body. The clinical studies showed Proactol will bind up to 28% of dietary fats

This fat binding property of Proactol enabled the test subjects to eat normally and still lose weight.

The studies also showed that Proactol soluble fibers are highly viscous when they bind with bile acids to create a very viscous solution, which slows down digestion and slows down the absorption of glucose.

This helped to suppress appetite and food cravings amongst the test subjects.



As a result of these clinical studies Proactol has been certified as medical product (MDD 93/42/EEC) for the treatment of obesity and weight management.  For more information on this product please visit Proactol's website.
