The official Proactol website seems full of information but much of it seems repeated and of course like any other well marketed product, one big sales pitch. We thought we would cut through the noise a bit and put out a few facts that either aren’t on the Proactol site or are simply to hard to find.
The list of Proactol Ingredients
The official website talks about dietary fibers a bit and general blurb on how it all kinda works but what they don’t mention is, what exactly are it’s ingredients?
Prickly Pear cactus plant – this is the key active ingredient in Proactol. This cactus extract has a natural “binding” quality to it and has been used for hundred’s of years by the indigenous people of America.
Dietary fibers are also found in this cactus extract and they play a major role in the digestion of food. Insoluble fiber acts like a broom, and in the case of dietary fats in your digestive tract, binds them together into a larger form which makes it harder to get absorbed and spread through your system.
Soluble fiber is receptive to water, and when it does it forms a gel-like substance. This slows down the digestive process by timing the release of nutrients over a longer period of time. This is a natural appetite suppressant because it keeps you feeling full longer. This is how hunger suppressant supplements work as well.
Microcrystalline cellulose – a natural occurring substance which has been used as a tableting agent for many years in the medical industry.
Calcium hydrogen phosphate dehydrate – an industry standard tableting agent also used as a dietary supplement in such products as breakfast cereals.
Silica – also marketed as a supplement on it’s own, silica is an energy booster. It’s also claimed that it boosts metal energy and reduces stress.
Providone – this was developed as a safe substitute for iodine and kills lipids which are a type of fat cells.
Magnesium stearate – it is safe and used in the industry primarily as a diluent and binder. It also can affect the release time of other ingredients.
