Why does the sachet drink have a strange texture when made up?

The glucomannan in the product works by swelling and forming a jelly-like structure. This happens almost immediately and this is why the drink has a slightly gloopy texture if left without stirring.

If the drink is left and not drunk immediately it will quickly start to form a gel. Do not drink if this happens as this could pose a choking hazard.

How does Calorie Fighter work?

When Glucomannan is mixed with water, it swells and expands in the stomach and functions as a filler. This increases the feeling of satiation, lowers the appetite, and prevents excessive eating and cravings. Chitosan has a high lipid-binding capacity that helps by lowering the fat absorption fra the diet. Therefore, Calorie Fighter helps to reduce the calorie intake and restores a healthy energy balance as a support in a weight management program.

Which active ingredients does Calorie Fighter have?

Calorie Fighter is based on two main ingredients: glucomannan and chitosan.

Glucomannan – a natural, water-soluble dietary fiber from the Konjac plant. The fibers work in the stomach and intestines by absorbing liquids and transforming these into a thicker mass. When the stomach feels full, it will reduce the feeling of hunger and increase the feeling of satiation.

Chitosan – extracted from aspergillus niger (a type of mold) that attracts and binds fat from cholesterol in your diet – all happening in the stomach. This interaction helps to shape indigestible fat clusters that are too large to be absorbed by the body. This means that these clusters are not a part of the metabolic cycle, but are excreted undigested. Calorie Fighter binds up to 42% of the fat from the diet in the stomach.
