Excessive body fat in women usually accumulates around the abdomen, thighs and buttocks. Men, on the other hand, struggle with a protruding belly, which does not always have to mean excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages, namely beer. It’s a good idea to use dietary supplements to help people with obesity. One of them is Calominal. Is the product effective and worth its price? Our editors decided to check it and test the supplement. We invite you to our review!

The first of the ingredients of Calominal is chitosan. This is a substance of natural origin, the action of which is very similar to fiber. Chitosan is also called polysaccharide. It is extracted from the shells of crustaceans such as lobsters and crabs. It owes its action to the fact that it is not digested in the digestive tract. This means that it does not turn into unnecessary weight and is completely excreted from the body. Chitosan swells in the digestive tract, so it reduces appetite and snacking between meals. What is more, it has an antibacterial effect and reduces the absorption of fats in the digestive tract. However, it should be consumed in moderation. It is not recommended for people on a restrictive weight-loss diet, because it may lead to vitamin deficiencies.

Other ingredients of Calominal tablets are: polyvinylpyrrolidone, magnesium salts of fatty acids and silicon dioxide. These substances do not have weight loss properties, but are only the filling of the tablets.

The manufacturer of Calominal tablets promises to support the treatment of overweight. In addition, thanks to the supplement, you can control your body weight or even reduce the absorption of cholesterol. You can take the product in two ways. If you want to lose weight, then you should reach for 2 tablets of the supplement twice a day. On the other hand, if you only want to control your weight, 1 tablet twice a day is enough. The manufacturer of the product also notes that Calominal should only be taken with hearty meals, and at least one of them should contain high-quality oils and fats. Otherwise, you will not ensure that your body covers its needs for fat-soluble vitamins and fatty acids.

You are probably wondering how quickly the effects of Calominal tablets will appear. At this point, our editors must point out that the effects of the product can only be seen if you follow a proper diet and physical activity. So if you are counting on the fact that Calominal tablets are a miracle product that will help you lose weight despite consuming too much sugar or fat, unfortunately we cannot guarantee it. On one of the popular online portals you will find a product rating. Calominal gets there 3.9/5 votes. But how did our editors rate the product? Read on!

At this point it is worth focusing on the side effects of Calominal pills. The first of them may be digestive disorders. So if you want to avoid constipation, bloating and the feeling of fullness, you should drink plenty of fluids (at least 2-3 liters per day) during the treatment. In some cases, an allergic reaction has also been reported during tablet intake. Its symptoms include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, skin rash, itching, excessive sweating, tingling, chills and even headaches or dizziness.

There are also a number of contraindications to treatment with Calominal tablets. First of all, they should not be taken when the patient is allergic to shellfish, fish or mollusks. Breastfeeding and pregnancy are other contraindications to Calominal treatment. It should also not be taken by children under 3 years of age and adults over 80 years of age. It is absolutely necessary to give up Calominal supplementation when you are taking lipophilic drugs at the same time. These include oral contraceptives and some antibiotics, and even vitamins such as A, vitamin D, E and K.

The product is not one of the most expensive weight loss products. You should pay relatively little for one pack of the product, which contains 60 tablets. It is also worth noting that one package is sufficient for one month of treatment.

Our editors recruited 30 overweight women to test the Calominal dietary supplement. Half of them ate healthy and exercised regularly during the treatment. The other 15 women decided not to give up their current diet and habits. In this way we wanted to check how Calominal would work on the first and second group of subjects. The editors’ tests lasted about 5 months. This is the optimal time to notice the visible effects of supplementation. Each woman took the supplement as recommended on the package, i.e. 2 tablets twice a day. The 3rd month of treatment had passed when 30% of the women in the first group (physical activity, healthy diet and Calominal) noticed a weight loss. However, it was not significant as it was in the 1-2 kg range. In our editorial team’s opinion this is very little, especially since we have already tested much more effective products more than once. You can read about one of them here. Unfortunately after the supplementation none of the women in the second group (previous eating habits, lack of physical activity and Calominal) noted even a minimal weight loss. After 5 months the situation did not change in the first group of subjects either. Despite physical activity and a healthy diet none of the women noticed a weight loss of more than 2 kg. It is also worth mentioning that only 30% of the group lost 1-2 kg.

To sum up our test, unfortunately Calominal does not fare well in it. While we didn’t expect visible effects in women with old eating habits, in the case of the first group of subjects we were hoping for more spectacular results. A 1-2 kg drop after almost half a year of treatment is not very satisfactory for us. Perhaps the visible effects of Calominal tablets can be seen only with long-term use. Therefore, if you are going to start treatment with this product, do not expect quick action. Calominal needs time and, most importantly, its supplementation must go hand in hand with a healthy lifestyle which includes regular physical activity and a healthy diet.

Our editors have already convinced themselves many times that the most effective supplements are those based on natural ingredients. This time we also decided to check how the power of nature compares with the Calominal dietary supplement.

That is why we have prepared a ranking of the most effective slimming pills, which you should read. When preparing it, we were guided not only by effectiveness, but also by the selection of natural and safe ingredients, which do not cause any side effects.
