What is Appesat?

Bioginate Complex
Appesat™ contains Bioginate Complex, a patented fiber complex extracted from the seaweed Laminaria digitata, which has been carefully harvested from farms on the French Atlantic coast.

Who needs Appesat™?
Any adult that:
•is worried about how much food they eat, and the long-term implications for their health
•wants to lose weight or reduce their food cravings

How does Appesat™ work?
The active ingredient in Appesat has been developed to be resistant to stomach acid and remain active for many hours. Taken before food, it works by stimulating hunger 'sensors' in the stomach wall, which then send a signal to the brain informing it that the stomach is full¹. Doctors believe that feeling full (satiation) is an essential factor in any diet for successful weight reduction. Because Appesat™ is active in your stomach before, during and after you eat, it significantly increases the number of 'stomach full' messages your brain receives – allowing you to feel full for much longer.

Appesat™ allows people to successfully learn new, healthy eating habits that can then be maintained on a permanent basis. This avoids the so-called 'yo-yo' effect, where weight is regained once the diet has ended. It also means that the amount of Appesat™ you take can be reduced, and stopped, over a number of weeks.

Is it approved?
Appesat has been approved by UK medicine regulators as a product that can be safely used at home to help you to lose weight and keep it off. It has been clinically proven to boost weight loss by over 67% compared with dieting alone¹.

The 'science'
Appesat™ helps people to lose weight in three ways:

1. Appesat™ helps with appetite control
Bingeing or snacking because you feel hungry are common reasons why many diets fail – so a priority has to be to help you feel full while you are dieting.

Appesat™ has been shown in clinical trials¹ to play an important role in helping people to feel full – people taking Appesat™ said they felt up to four times more satisfied with the food they had eaten, compared to those who had not.

2. Appesat™ helps with weight loss
By taking Appesat™, this feeling full sensation can transform into weight loss. Clinical trials¹ using Appesat™ show that overweight and obese people on a calorie-controlled diet achieved significant weight loss at 12 weeks, compared to those on a calorie-controlled diet alone.

3. Appesat™ means smaller portions
Clinical trials¹,² also prove that taking Appesat can help people feel full for longer, reducing the amount of food people want to eat, even if they are not actively on a diet.

Why is Appesat™ different
Appesat™ is not a meal replacement. It is simply a natural, fiber-based product that contains ingredients specially designed to help you to feel fuller for longer. This helps you to want to eat less.

It also allows people to successfully learn new, healthy eating habits that can then be maintained on a permanent basis. This avoids the so-called 'yo-yo' effect, where weight is regained once the diet has ended. It also means that the amount of Appesat™ you take can be reduced, and stopped, over a number of weeks.
