Conservative obesity treatment: opportunities and achievements


Cite item

Abstract

Statistics show that 20–25% of the world's population is obese, while 30–50% is just overweight. In order to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease or its complications it is sufficient to reduce the total body weight by 5–10%. Different substances have high efficiency in limiting the absorption of dietary fat. Clinical studies have shown that the patented complex of natural fibers (litramin IQP G-002AS), obtained from Indian Opuntia (Opuntia ficus-indica) and standardized in point of lipophilic activity reduces absorption of fat contained in food, by binding fat in the gastrointestinal intestinal tract, effectively boosting weight loss.
