Release form

Reduxin lite is a line of drugs containing plant components that can safely and effectively act in two ways: reduce body weight and form a slender figure. According to the instructions, these are dietary supplements that can affect the body in the right direction:

  • reduce the amount of subcutaneous fat,
  • increase muscle tone,
  • prevent re-obesity,
  • locally simulate the silhouette.

In the recipe, linoxic acid conjugated linoleic acid blocks the activity of the enzyme that retards the fat components in the body and increases the activity of enzymes that process lipids. This effect helps to reduce the amount of fat under the skin and strengthens the muscles.

Supplements are consumed orally, at breakfast, sometimes for dinner, one or two capsules per day.

  • Like the usual reduction for weight loss, reductin light has contraindications for use, namely: the state of pregnancy, lactation, intolerance of ingredients.

It should be noted that the drug reductin and the same food additives are cardinally different substances. Unlike pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements do not undergo clinical trials and are evaluated only in terms of safety. This helps food additives to quickly overcome the production-realization path, but calls into question their effectiveness. Therefore, such products should be treated with caution.

Redoxine reinforced

The creators of Reduxine Light Reinforced Formula have selected the known medicinal plants as sources of useful components: safflower dye, griffonium, wild and Chinese yams. Modern techniques allow the most effective use of medicinal properties of these plants: from them they receive highly purified extracts specially for addition to drugs for weight loss.

In particular, the amino acid 5-hydroxytryptophan is extracted from griffonium seeds, which participates in the production of serotonin (the "joy hormone"). The substance reduces appetite, improves mood, promotes healthy sleep.

  • Extracts of both yams also contribute to the burning of fatty deposits and at the same time protect from the formation of new ones, tone up the muscles, reduce the volume of problematic places, due to which the figure becomes slimmer and tighter. The reserves of not only subcutaneous, but also internal fat are decreasing. Especially intensively burned fat, if the application of dietary supplements is combined with exercise.

The uniqueness of the formula makes it possible to minimize the frequency of reduction of lightweight reduction: for the desired effect, two capsules per day are sufficient.

Supplements are contraindicated in persons with hypersensitivity to the drug, as well as all pregnant and lactating women.

Interactions with other drugs

Sibutramine does not cause interaction with other drugs, for example, oral contraceptives.

Glucophage and reduction slimming

Glucophage is a medicine against diabetes, but it is also effectively used for weight loss. Increased insulin in the blood contributes to the postponement of fat stores on the abdomen and waist.

On the other hand, insulin is produced precisely because of the high glucose level. Glucophage normalizes these processes and stops excess production of both glucose and insulin, and also slows the absorption of carbohydrates in the intestine.

The drug also affects the cholesterol level, bringing it back to normal. For better efficiency when taking glucose is recommended to give up sweets and fast-digestible carbohydrate food.

When appointing a glucofage an important place is given to the diet and the patient's day regimen, because the best result will be obtained only if the problem is solved in a complex way. The treatment includes:

  • refusal from bad habits, especially alcohol;
  • the proper nutrition of low-calorie food.

A low-calorie diet can be both balanced and unbalanced. But in any case, the patient must eat every day foods with a lot of fiber: vegetables, cereals and legumes, whole grain bread.

You need to consume glucofaz three times a day: before breakfast, lunch and dinner. Exceeding the norm of carbohydrates is fraught with diarrhea; the appearance of nausea indicates that it is necessary to take no more than half the previous dose.

An important feature of the diet in the treatment of this drug is the exclusion of any sports exercises and loads. They reduce its useful properties.

Glucophage and reduction slimming are perfectly combined, so some doctors practice their parallel purpose.
