Review
Summary |
Proactol is an all natural weight loss pill that allegedly binds up to 28% of dietary fat intake, reduces cholesterol levels, helps to decrease and/or suppress the appetite, and reduces excess body weight. It is meant to be used with a low fat, healthy diet and a fitness program, in fact, both are actively encourage and supported on the product’s website.
So, it seems we have a fat blocker here – notorious for being ineffective. We will examine the ingredients and see if there is anything here to warrant excitement over this product.

| Ingredients At A Glance |
|
Proactol is a patented formula that is made from the cactus, “Opuntia ficus-indica”. It is a two part fiber system that is both soluble and non-soluble fibers. The action of the soluble fiber is to produce a viscous mass that is slower to digest, which contributes to a person feeling fuller for a longer period of time. The action of the insoluble fiber is that it binds to dietary fat, rendering the resulting particle too large to be absorbed, so it is then eliminated naturally through the bowels. Some bonuses to ordering now include free membership to www.homeweightloss.com, an online health and fitness program, a weight loss ebook, sixty low fat recipes, and online aerobic videos. These bonuses are being offered on a time limited basis.
We can support fiber in the diet, though this type of product effectiveness is iffy. If this type of formulation really worked, dieter’s would be rejoicing in the streets. Be careful using the product, as gas, bloating and cramping as well as, changes in elimination may occur.

| Website In Focus |
|
The Proactol website is an informative guide to the product that is being offered. There are descriptions of what the benefits are to using the Proactol and explanations as to how the two types of fiber work together to meet weight loss goals. A nice touch is the inclusion of some comments that were made by some physicians, as well as the results of scientific studies that were done. There are also multiple customer testimonials to read through. On the critical side, there were one or two errors in the text, for example the length of the return policy is referred to as 180 days and 120 days within the space of a few lines of text. The company can be contacted through a toll-free phone number or by email.

| Final Thoughts |
|
The biggest drawbacks to this product are the expense, the balancing of other medications and supplements around Proactol’s dosing times, and the possibility of constipation. Otherwise, this fiber-based product comes doctor recommended and backed by clinical studies, and of equal importance; a healthy diet, fitness, and plenty of water are all actively encouraged by the makers of Proactol. These things greatly enhance product credibility and create a sense of confidence in the product’s customer base. Be sure to use this product with a healthy diet and exercise and increase the amount of water consumed.
You may also want to add a weight loss supplement that employs the two pronged approach to dieting that is proven effective; use a product which includes a fat-burner, and an appetite suppressant for the best results.
