Developed by InQpharm®, Litramine® is a natural fiber complex shown to reduce body weight in overweight and obese patients. In multiple double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled studies, it has been proven effective for weight loss and maintenance. Clinical studies on adults 35 and older show taking one gram of Litramine® three times daily for twelve weeks supports weight loss by binding a portion of dietary fat. Results have also shown patients using Litramine® experience three times more weight loss than with dieting and exercise alone with subjects maintaining their body weight for 24 weeks after initial weight loss. In a very recent 52-week study, Litramine® was shown to help subjects lose 6.5 kg on average.

Use of Flaxseed mucilage IQP-LU-104 is also proven to result in three times more weight loss than with dieting and exercise alone in twelve weeks, with a significant weight reduction observed as early as four weeks.

InQpharm® weight management solutions are supported by strong IP and gold standard published clinical trials. Sold in pharmacies, food and drug stores, and by practitioners and direct sales, more than 100M product packs have been shipped to 55 global markets in the past decade.
