Proactol Herbal Alternatives to Xenical Weight Loss Pills

USA. (SANEPR.com) September 29, 2007 -- We are in an age where technological advancement is so rapid and these changes have one effect or the other on our lifestyle and health in general.

We have witnessed break-through in all fields, from information technology, communication, engineering to medicine and much more.

Medical science has made outstanding progress in the battle against today’s
obesity epidemic. Xenical has traditionally been a prescription only capsule prescribed to obese patients, and recently, the FDA gave the thumbs up to an over the counter version - Alli. Both products contain the active ingredient Orlistat, a lipase inhibitor that helps prevent fat being absorbed into the body.

How Safe Is Xenical?
Olistat contained in Xenical reduces the breakdown of the fat in the stomach by about 30% and prevents it from being absorbed into the body. Instead fats are expelled from the body in faeces. This process helps towards weight loss.

Xenical may seem an ideal solution to weight loss for those who aspire to keep to a healthy diet but since Xenical is a prescription drug, it is usually only prescribed for the dangerously overweight people. People with over 30kg/m˛ body mass index. Added to that is the fear of reported unwanted side effects. Consultation with a Doctor is highly recommended.

The Side Effects Of Xenical and Alli
Some unpleasant side effects have been reported from use of products containing Orlistat.
Users have reported anal discharges, so taking this drug could well result in
embarrassing situations. Other possible effects are oily stools, loss of bowel control, diarrhea
rectal pain, liver inflammation and fatigue. So Orlistat based products may not be the shining ray of
light overweight people have been hoping for.

How about safe and effective alternatives?
The market is filled with different alternatives with flimsy claims and with questionable quality, but few have been clinically proven to be effective. There are products on the market that are proven to have very similar benefits to Orlistat in reducing fat in take, but with out the nasty side effects. Proactol™ is a relatively new weight management product that also reduces fat from the food we eat by around 30%, but in a different way.

Proactol™ - Safe, Clinically Proven Fat Binder.

Proactol™ is based on a patented fiber complex, that rather than just preventing fat from being broken
down, pulling in fat molecules and binding them into a viscous solution in the stomach. So fat is
prevented from entering the body without the embarrassing side effects of Xenical and Alli. Initial
user feedback of Proactol™ is extremely positive, and as well as reducing fat intake.

Proactol has the following associated benefits:

• Suppression of appetite
• Reduction in cholesterol levels
• Decrease of food cravings

With hundreds of the so called "miracle pills" on the market, Proactol™ is one of the few that lives up to its
claims of effectiveness. In several pre-clinical trials it has proven to be a highly effective
alternative to Orlistat based products. As with most weight loss supplements, Proactol™’s best results
come when used in combination with a healthy diet and active lifestyle.

Proactol has also been backed by various health nutitionists among who is the celebrity Dr. Adam carey featured on a number of TV shows dedicated to obesity and effective weight loss.
Dr. Adam Carey is a world famous fitness and nutrition expert. Dr.
Adam Crey has been the co presenter, for all three series of Celebrity
Fit Club. He is also the co-presenter for Sky Ones program Change the
Day you Die.

Recap
Xenical is a prescription weight loss pill but prescribed only to the very overweighed and Orlistat may cause unpleasant side effects. While both Xenical and Proactol bind fats up to 30% and preventing absorption into our body, Procatol is a non prescription herbal weight loss pill, inhibits food cravings and decreases the level of cholesterol.
