Dissolves and absorbs dietary fat for elimination
Do you know you are about to sin and eat a high fat, low fiber
meal? What are you going to do? Take "Fat Grabbers" that's what.
If you were planning to eat fresh fruits and vegetables you
wouldn't have this problem. But almost nobody can keep that
up consistently these days.
Fat Grabbers should be taken before you eat a fatty meal.
It contains emulsifiers to dissolve fat along with fiber to
absorb fat and carry it out with your bowel movements.
The fiber in guar gum and psyllium is well known to reduce cholesterol
levels. The fiber will also absorb other material including
old intestinal residue.

A friend with no gall bladder discovered that this product makes
it more comfortable to eat double cheeseburgers. (Please
don't!)
Always take fiber supplements with plenty of water.
Fat Grabbers is marketed as a weight management product. I have
a hunch that you should take your other supplements at some
Other time.
Contains Psyllium hulls, guar gum, chickweed herb and lecithin.
CLINICAL STUDY SHOWS NATURE'S SUNSHINE “FAT GRABBERS” PRODUCES
SIGNIFICANT WEIGHT LOSS Business Editors PROVO, Utah--(BUSINESS
WIRE)--
May 5, 1999--
No Side Effects.
Lowered Cholesterol -
Also Reported for All-Natural Product Results of clinical trials
recently completed in Norway showed that an all-natural weight
reduction product, manufactured and marketed by Nature's Sunshine
Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: NATR), effectively produced an average
weight loss of 16 pounds over a 12-week period for individuals
in a test group of 64 participants, the Company reported today.
Nature's Sunshine said that the double-blind study involved
its Fat Grabbers(R) capsule, which consists of a patented, high-fiber
herbal combination. "The unique formula has been proven in laboratory
tests to trap fat molecules inside the intestinal tract before
they can be absorbed into the bloodstream," said Dr. Alvin Segelman,
Vice President of Health Services at Nature's Sunshine.
"The study supports our view that Fat Grabbers(R) is simple,
safe, and effective. Fat Grabbers(R) allows fat to be eliminated
from the body, and it enables people to lose weight without
taking stimulant drugs."
In the study, Fat Grabbers(R) was administered orally to 22
male and 42 female overweight or obese subjects over a 12-week
period.
The average weight loss experienced by the Fat Grabbers(R) group
was 16 pounds, whereas the placebo group showed an average weight
loss of only 8 pounds.
In addition to weight loss, subjects experienced a total cholesterol
reduction of 0.53 mmol/l with Fat Grabbers(R), compared to 0.38
mmol/l in the study's placebo group.
Conclusively, the Fat Grabbers(R) group experienced an 81% weight
reduction due to fat loss, with a minimum loss of water and
lean muscle tissue when consuming the product three times per
day complemented with light exercise and a low-fat diet. In
addition, Nature's Sunshine reported, Fat Grabbers(R) significantly
reduced hunger pangs in trial subjects.
No side effects were reported, and there was wide tolerance
of the product for the duration of the trials, as 97% of the
test group completed the study.
Further studies are underway to determine the long-term efficacy
and tolerability of Fat Grabbers(R).
The recent study was conducted in Norway by Dr. Erling Thom.
Dr. Thom received his Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University
of Oslo in 1966 and has 25 years of expertise in clinical trial
management.
He currently works as the head of clinical operations in the
Parexel Medstat Region to build clinical operation units in
Nordic countries.
Dr. Thom's research has been published extensively, including
several reports on weight-loss strategies and vitamin supplements.
Nature's Sunshine Products, founded in 1972, is a leader in
