Want to buy fat blockers?

Fat blockers are a group of supplements that can support weight loss by preventing fats from being stored. They ensure that fats are not absorbed by the body but leave the body through the stool. There are two different types of fat blockers that work in different ways.

• Fat blockers that bind to a fat molecule, preventing the molecule from being broken down by the enzyme lipase. These types of fat blockers bind to the place where lipase would normally bind. In this way, they block the enzyme's ability to break down fats.
  
  
• Fat blockers bind to the enzyme lipase , which then prevents this enzyme from binding to a fat molecule. These types of fat blockers are called lipase inhibitors, because they bind to the place where lipase would bind to a fat molecule.

Types of fat blockers

Both types of fat blockers occur in nature. Two well-known types of natural fat blockers are Nopal Cactus extract and chitosan.

Nopal Cactus extract

The Nopal Cactus (available as NeOpuntia®) comes from Mexico and is known for its health benefits. This is due to the high content of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Especially the extract of the young discs of the cactus are used in supplements because they are rich in fiber and bioactive substances. Nopal Cactus extract provides support during weight loss, stimulates the fat metabolism and reduces the feeling of hunger.

Chitosan

Chitosan is a polysaccharide that is formed from chitin. Chitin provides strength in the skeletons of crustaceans such as lobsters, shrimps and crabs. The molecule has the property of being very strong. Chitosan is a fibrous substance that makes the absorption of fat molecules and cholesterol more difficult. As a result, it has a natural fat-blocking effect.

Do fat blockers really work?

Fat blockers can certainly provide support during weight loss, but a negative energy balance must be maintained for this. When using fat blockers, it is therefore important to maintain a vegetable-rich and low-carb diet. In addition, it also helps to exercise a lot, because this increases the metabolism. The combination of this responsible lifestyle with a fat blocker helps with weight management.
