Formoline L112 Weight Management Tablets

Interestingly, Formoline L112 is classed as a weight management tablet rather than a diet pill.

It has been available to buy in store at many outlets that stock diet, weight loss and slimming products – Boots and Superdrug spring to mind.

While several high profile products are currently fighting for premier position shelf space, Formoline L112 has been somewhat pushed from focused.

This could be largely due to lack of advertising and poor marketing – the product packing does not exactly scream weight loss.

Packaging and marketing aside – What is it and does it work.

Formoline L112 How Does It Work

The product is basically  a fat binder – fat binders are generally considered to be the most effective genre of diet pills – in this “effective category” we can also put fat blockers.

Fat binders and fat blockers stop or prevent the absorption of fat (around 25%) from entering into our digestive system – so effectively lowering out calorie intake. This undigested fat can then pass through and leave the body via bowel movements.

Active Ingredients

Does Formoline L112 Cause Side Effects

The inclusion of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine from shells of crustaceans is a bit of a worry as it seems to form the basis of Chitosan

Does Formoline L112 Work

There is some clinical evidence to substantiate its claims although the actual dats is far from conclusive.

Where To Buy Formoline L112

L-Carnitine Fat Burner

Carnitine, or L-Carnitine describes a generic compound rather than a specific diet pill brand.

In truth L-Carnitine is not a diet pill as such but more of fat burning supplement.

There is a loose connection with L-Carnitine and weight loss but it is predominately focused on fat burning and converting body fat into muscle.

L-Carnitine is popular among sports men and women and not especially aimed towards people who simply want to or need to lose weight.

There are however, several manufacturers of commercial or over the counter fat burners that use L-Carnitine as an ingredient and target the weight loss market.

What Is Carnitine

L-Carnitine is the manufactured supplement, whereas Carnitine is the natural substance produced by the body that transports fatty acids to the cell’s mitochondria (the part of cell responsible for converting fat into energy and muscle.)

Does L-Carnitine Work

To date, there is little evidence to suggest that using L-Carnitine as a supplement can aid the weight loss process.

The manufacturers who include L-Carnitine as part of their product composition, in the main, use only a tiny trace amount of the substance.

Carnitine Side Effects

The Carnitine levels naturally produced by the body usually remain consistent – the human body produces as much or little as it needs.

However, introducing man-made, additional Carnitine (through the use of a supplement) can cause similar side effects produced by a majority of fat burners – such as:

• Insomnia
• Headaches
• Irritability
• Increased Heart Beat
• High Blood Pressure

Should I Use An L-Carnitine Supplement

If your intention is to simply lose weight and you do not have a particularly sporty lifestyle there are several other supplements are could be more beneficial.

Alternative Diet Pills

Diet pills that stop the absorption of fat are considered to be the most effective genre of diet pill.

Both fat blockers and fat binders have quite considerable clinical data spanning decades.

Two products with a particularly high success rate is the prescription only Xenical and the commercially available Proactol

Water Diet Pills For Weight Loss

One of the most common used diet or weight loss products is the Water Tablet.

Many dieters are prone to carrying excess water and so the use of  something to eliminate this additional water may seem at first to be a perfectly natural way to lose extra poundage.

Water tablets are often refered to as a Water Diet Pill

It is when then the harmless water tablet is inpected a little more closely than some potential dangers are revealed.

What Types Of Water Tablets Are There

There are two distinct types of water tablet:

• Loop Diuretics
• Thiazides

Plus a combination of the above.

What Do Water Tablets Do

The primary function of a Water Diet Pill is to instruct the kidneys to eliminate sodium from the body. This causes an elimination of excess fliud in the process.

The most common usage for water tablets and duiretics in particular is to reduce high blood pressure – weight loss is a secondary effect.

Side Effects From Water Diet Pills

Water tablets are only meant for the short term only – any more than 7 days usage and you run the risk of developing health problems.

The first “side effect” is the removal of excess water (water retention) this will lead to a very slight reduction in body weight – not body fat. As soon as the body is rehydrated, this weight reduction is reversed.

Another potential side effect is low blood pressure.  As the tablets can reduce high blood pressure – if your blood pressure is considered normal the tablet can reduce your pressure to a dangerously low level.

Any kind of water tablet should only be used under the strict supervision of your GP.

Should I Buy Water Diet Pills

No matter how tempting or harmless a “Water tablet” may appeal or sound – they are definately not recommended to be used in connection with your diet.
