Formoline L112 EXTRA is a lipid or fat binder designed for the treatment of excess weight and obesity in adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 25.
The active ingredient, polyglucosamine L112, is a natural indigestible dietary fiber derived from crustacean shells that binds large quantities of lipids, fatty acids, and cholesterol in the digestive tract. Because the bound fats cannot be absorbed, their calories are not made available to the body.
When combined with a reduced-calorie diet, taking Formoline L112 EXTRA supports weight reduction, weight management, and an accompanying lowering of LDL cholesterol. In clinical studies over one year, patients using L112 achieved an average weight loss of over 12 kg, a waist circumference reduction of around 13 cm, and an LDL cholesterol reduction of 12.9%.
Active Ingredient: Polyglucosamine L112 dietary fibre (73%) [Specification L112 from beta-1,4-polymer from D-glucosamine and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine from crustacean shell].
Additives: Ascorbic acid, tartaric acid, tableting aids (plant-based magnesium stearate, plant-based cellulose, sodium sulphate, silicon dioxide).
How to Take:
Weight Loss Dosage: Take 2 tablets twice daily. Take tablets at both mealtimes that contain the highest fat content. Swallow tablets whole with plenty of water (at least 250 ml) to ensure transport to the stomach.
Weight Management Dosage: For long-term weight maintenance, the dose can be reduced to 2 tablets per day. Swallow tablets whole with plenty of water (at least 250 ml) to ensure transport to the stomach.
Hydration: Drink at least 2 litres of fluid daily due to the high-fibre nature of the product.
Nutrient Maintenance: Only take Formoline L112 EXTRA with 2 of your 3 main meals so that at least one daily meal provides healthy fats and fat-soluble vitamins (Vitamins A, D, E, K). A multivitamin supplement may also help meet daily requirements.
When is Formoline L112 not suitable to take?
Do NOT take Formoline L112 EXTRA if you:
- Have a known allergy or sensitivity to crustaceans or shellfish.
- Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 25 or below.
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding (weight reduction therapy should not be undertaken during pregnancy or lactation).
- Are a child or adolescent under 18 years of age.
- Suffer from severe gastrointestinal conditions, including chronic constipation, bowel obstruction (ileus), or gastrointestinal motility issues.
Interactions & Cautions
Fat-Soluble Medications & Vitamins: Because polyglucosamine L112 binds fats, it can reduce the absorption of fat-soluble active ingredients. Leave an interval of at least 4 hours between taking Formoline L112 EXTRA and fat-soluble medications (such as oral contraceptives, hormone treatments, blood thinners, or anti-epileptics) or fat-soluble vitamin supplements (A, D, E, K).
Dietary Focus: Formoline L112 EXTRA primarily targets dietary fats (found in meats, sausages, butter, cheese, fried foods, and baked goods). High-sugar foods, soft drinks, and alcohol calories are not bound by L112 and remain fully available to the body.
Existing Medical Conditions: Consult a healthcare provider prior to use if you suffer from chronic metabolic or gastrointestinal disease.
