Calominal Duo Powder 150 g — Made in Poland by Aflofarm — Free Delivery

Calominal Duo is an advanced medical device in powder form, specifically developed to support the treatment of overweight and obesity. Produced by Aflofarm in Poland, this dual-action formula focuses on reducing the absorption of calories from the primary dietary sources: fats and carbohydrates. By creating a physical barrier in the digestive tract, Calominal Duo helps individuals manage their body weight more effectively while also contributing to the reduction of cholesterol levels. It is an ideal solution for those seeking a clinically recognized method to enhance the results of a calorie-controlled diet and physical activity.

Composition and Active Substance

The efficacy of Calominal Duo is based on a high-quality complex of plant-derived and natural fibers. The primary active components include:

• Glucomannan: A highly viscous, soluble dietary fiber derived from the Konjac root. It has an extraordinary capacity to absorb water and form a dense gel in the stomach.

• Chitosan: A natural poly-glucosamine typically derived from the shells of crustaceans. It acts as a lipid binder within the digestive system.

Excipients: The powder also contains citric acid (acidity regulator), flavoring agents, and sweeteners to ensure the product is palatable when dissolved in water.

Pharmacological Action

Calominal Duo utilizes a "Duo" mechanism to target weight reduction from two physiological angles:

1. Lipid Binding (Chitosan): Once ingested, Chitosan binds to dietary fats in the stomach, forming a large, indigestible fat-fiber complex. This complex is too large to be absorbed by the intestinal walls and is naturally excreted from the body, thereby reducing the net caloric intake from lipids.

2. Carbohydrate and Satiety Support (Glucomannan): In the presence of water, Glucomannan expands significantly to fill space in the stomach. This promotes a lasting feeling of fullness (satiety), which helps prevent overeating and snacking between meals. Furthermore, the gel-like substance slows down the absorption of sugars, helping to stabilize post-meal blood glucose levels.

3. Cholesterol Management: By binding bile acids and dietary fats, the active ingredients contribute to maintaining healthy LDL cholesterol levels.

Indications for Use

Calominal Duo is indicated for adults who are:

• Diagnosed with overweight (BMI > 25).

• Diagnosed with obesity (BMI > 30).

• Seeking to maintain weight after a successful weight loss program.

• Looking to reduce dietary cholesterol absorption as part of a lipid-lowering strategy.

Contraindications

This product should not be used in the following cases:

• Allergy to Crustaceans: Since Chitosan is derived from shellfish, individuals with shellfish allergies must avoid this product.

• Gastrointestinal Disorders: Including esophageal narrowing, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or intestinal obstruction.

• Malabsorption Syndromes: Conditions where the body already struggles to absorb nutrients.

• Pregnancy and Lactation: Not recommended unless specifically directed by a physician.

• Age: Not suitable for children and adolescents under 18 years of age.

Dosage and Administration

To achieve optimal results, the powder must be prepared correctly:

• For Weight Loss: Take one measuring scoop (included) twice daily.

• For Weight Maintenance: Take one measuring scoop once daily.

• Preparation: Dissolve one scoop in at least 250 ml (one full glass) of water. Stir vigorously and consume immediately before the gel thickens.

Special Administration Tips

It is vital to consume Calominal Duo 30 minutes before a meal. Because the fibers absorb a large volume of liquid, you must increase your total daily water intake to at least 2 liters to prevent gastrointestinal discomfort.

Side Effects and Adverse Reactions

While generally safe as a mechanical weight loss aid, some users may experience:

• Digestive Issues: Bloating, flatulence, or mild constipation (usually occurs if water intake is insufficient).

• Allergic Reactions: Skin rash or itching (primarily in those with undiagnosed shellfish sensitivities).

• Changes in Stool: Altered consistency due to the presence of indigestible fiber-fat complexes.

Special Precautions & Warnings

• Medication Timing: Calominal Duo can bind to other oral medications (including birth control pills and fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K). Always wait at least 2 to 4 hours between taking Calominal Duo and any other medication.

• Choking Hazard: Never swallow the powder dry. It must be dissolved in liquid to avoid swelling in the esophagus.

• Chronic Illness: Individuals with diabetes or kidney disease should consult their doctor, as the product may influence blood sugar management and electrolyte balance.

Storage Conditions and Shelf Life

Store the container in a cool, dry place at a temperature below 25°C. Keep the lid tightly closed to protect the powder from atmospheric moisture. Keep out of reach of children. The shelf life is 2 years from the date of manufacture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Calominal Duo without changing my diet?
While Calominal Duo reduces the absorption of calories from the food you eat, it is most effective when used as part of a balanced, calorie-restricted diet. It is a tool to enhance weight loss, not a replacement for healthy eating habits.

Is Calominal Duo safe for long-term use?
It can be used for extended periods for weight management; however, it is recommended to take a break of 3–5 days after every 30 days of continuous use to ensure the body maintains optimal absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.

Why is it so important to drink a lot of water with this powder?
The active ingredient, Glucomannan, can absorb up to 50 times its weight in water. If you do not drink enough liquid, the fiber may cause a blockage in the digestive tract or lead to severe constipation.

Can I take Calominal Duo if I am a vegetarian?
Standard Calominal Duo contains Chitosan derived from crustaceans, which is not vegetarian. If you follow a strict vegetarian or vegan diet, you should check the specific label for "plant-based chitosan" variants or avoid the product.

Does Calominal Duo interact with hormonal contraception?
Yes, it can potentially reduce the absorption of oral contraceptives. To ensure effectiveness, take your birth control pill at least 4 hours before or after consuming Calominal Duo.
