How Obesimed ® Forte helps in losing weight
There is a constantly growing group of people who do not lose weight at all or only for a short time despite trying everything
and gain back any weight quickly or gain back even more weight than they lost (the yo-yo effect). Why would people who suffer
from being overweight and for whom diets fail benefi t from taking Obesimed ® Forte? Because Obesimed ® Forte provides a
completely new approach in using polysaccharides that are exceptionally effective in reducing appetite, lowering cholesterol
levels and promoting a healthy blood sugar level.
Who should take Obesimed ® Forte?
Obesimed ® Forte should be taken by adults:
• Who are overweight by 10 kg or more or have a BMI of +28
• For whom diets do not work
• Who always feel hungry
• Who recognize in themselves that they are not fully satiated after a meal or are addicted to carbohydrates or they suffer from
hyperinsulinemia
Reduced meal portion sizes due to a full stomach
Obesimed ® Forte does not burn calories but it does make it easier to control appetite and limit the size of meal portions. You will
eat less and you will stop feeling hungry quicker and for longer.
Obesimed ® Forte absorbs hundreds of times its own weight in water within 30 minutes to an hour. When the capsule has dissolved,
it expands in the stomach to become a highly viscous gel. It creates a pleasant feeling of fullness therefore, users feel
they are satiated after a smaller meal. After the meal, the gel matrix mixes with food. This will not only postpone appetite but it
will also slow digestion.
High-quality active ingredients
Obesimed ® Forte contains a combination of the polysaccharides Omtec19 ® and OmtecX ® . It is a unique novel mixture of carefully
selected, high-viscous, soluble fi bres. They have a synergetic interaction and attain a viscosity and expansion with water
that is three times as high when compared to the same quantity of the individual fi bres. Obesimed ® Forte has the strongest gelforming
properties of all products that are currently available.
Reducing appetite
Scientifi c research has now shown that there is a link between blood sugar and our appetite. If the blood sugar level spikes and
drops several times in a day, the person will tend to eat too much. This can lead to being overweight. A low blood sugar level
will increase appetite. Blood sugar is important to health because everybody needs the correct amount of glucose (sugar) in their
blood for energy management and ensuring physical functions are maintained. Too little blood sugar is, in fact, an “emergency
situation” for the brain that will respond by making us feel hungry. Our bodies will restore blood glucose to a suitable level by
eating; at least until the next blood glucose dip again triggers our appetite. People with an unbalanced blood sugar level fi nd it
nearly impossible to ignore food and this can result in an eating pattern with unwanted and surplus calories. Many products that
help people diet try to suppress their appetite but Obesimed ® Forte corrects appetite by preventing a fast rise and drop of blood
glucose levels because it slows digestion.
OTC – medical device
Obesimed ® Forte is an over-the-counter medical device class IIa that complies with the medical device directive 93/42/EEC,
amended by MDD 2007/47/EC. Obesimed ® Forte is produced in accordance with quality standards ISO 13485: 2003 for medical
devices.
The science behind Obesimed ® Forte
Clinical tests have shown different favourable physiological effects with regard to fi bre viscosity increase such as a reduced appetite,
signifi cant weight loss, improved bowel movement and reduced blood serum cholesterol. It was also repeatedly shown
in these clinical tests that blood glucose spikes drop after a meal when viscous soluble fi bres increase in food. This is due to the
fact that food absorption by the body is delayed as the viscosity of the food mass is increased.
Obesimed ® Forte reduces the blood glucose spike after a meal by about 20% and, therefore, it also reduces insulin secretion.
Scientists have also discovered that Obesimed ® Forte can keep appetite at bay to such an extend due to the very high viscosity
that even the heaviest of individuals experience a very strong reduction in appetite that is easy to maintain.
