Xenalten for weight loss: instructions for use

Composition

Orlistat is the active ingredient in this product. This component has a powerful effect, it can often be observed in the composition of other drugs for weight loss. In addition to orlistat, the drug contains MCC (microcrystalline cellulose), which gives a feeling of fullness in the stomach, thereby reducing appetite.

The disadvantage of most modern drugs for weight loss lies precisely in the fact that they have a too harsh, but at the same time temporary effect on the body. Excess weight quickly disappears, but after a couple of weeks it comes back.

Xenalten, in turn, has a mild effect. With it, you can get rid of 3, maximum – 5 kilograms in 7-10 days. But the weight will be stabilized, and will not change upwards after the end of the course of taking the medicine.
