The following list are our pick of the very best fat binding supplements, selected due to their reasonable price, positive user feedback and natural formulations.
Proactol - The natural fat binder
Overall Rating: (9/10)
Proactol has the comforting feature of being 100% organic and has a two-fold mechanism of helping your body absorb fat and curb your appetite to help you rid those unwanted inches on your waistline.
Firstly, a non-soluble fibre will absorb around 27% of your dietary fat by binding it into a fluid like gel which naturally passes from your body in a bowel movement.
The secondary soluble fibre within Proactol has a sticky consistency that slows down your digestion, whilst reducing the levels of glucose being absorbed into your blood stream ensuring that you experience the feeling of fullness.
With the added advantage of having been clinically trialled and proven, Proactol is a natural fat binder without any hidden nasties. There is some risk of constipation but this is normally seen in the early stages of taking the supplement, while your digestion adapts to the fat binder. This can be remedied by simply upping your fluid intake.
Proactol is the only fat binder with a money back guarantee and has been sold for over 10 years with numerous awards for its effectiveness, making it the clear winner in our line-up.
Proactol is available via the official manufacturers website with a month抯 supply at an average cost of ?4.95 along with savings on bulk orders.
Singer and presenter Mica Paris is amongst a number of well-known celebrities endorsing the use of XLS Medical Fat Binder as their secret to diet success.
When taking a fat binding supplement a common side effect can be the loss of vitamins when the fat is absorbed and evacuated from your intestines.
