Amidst a tremendous interest in various dietary supplements, people boldly test the most controversial ones on themselves. One of them is the popular slimming product Bilight, which is produced by the Chinese company San’Jiu, the same company that produces a similar product under the brand Lida.
There are a lot of counterfeit products, however, the composition of the original product is really unusual. And most importantly, there is a scandal related to the presence of sibutramine in the capsules, a psychotropic substance with adverse effects on health. Despite all the above, the number of people wishing to buy this product and use it to lose weight is not falling. Why is that?
Effects on the body
The capsule manufacturers give a detailed description of how this drug affects the body with regular use:
- accelerates metabolism
- cleanses the intestines
- rids of fat deposits
- eliminates excess fluid (diuretic effect)
- reduces appetite
- tones up without reducing energy levels
- improves the figure in problem areas, including the visceral fat in the abdomen
In the first 2 weeks, metabolic processes are optimized and the body is cleansed; the next 2 weeks are dedicated to combating body fat; and the final stage involves securing the achieved results (if there is anything to secure).
The following causes of excess weight are the indications for using Bilight for weight loss:
- metabolic disorders
- hormonal disorders
- postpartum period
- endocrine disorders
- low physical activity
- functional disorders of the spleen, kidneys, and liver
According to the manufacturers, Bilight is a new-generation, innovative drug with high efficacy in weight loss and body shaping. The packaging contains ambitious promises to lose up to 5 kg per week; the official website has advertisements that will make you gasp with incredible figures of minus 20 kg per month. At this point, you may start having doubts: what kind of supernatural ingredient was included in these capsules to provide such rapid weight loss?
Water lily. This ingredient is listed in Bilight’s composition. This is a flowering tropical plant that grows in the reservoirs of the Middle East and Asia. It contains L-carnitine and alkaloids. It blocks the formation of fat cells. It can also be found in other weight loss products, such as Magic Lotus, Lotussnik, Slimming Tea Typhoon Lotus, and Sanye Anti-fat Tea.
Ingredients
The claimed composition of Bilight will convince anyone that this is an exceptionally natural product. It contains ingredients of plant and animal origin. True, some of them are still questionable for skeptics, but at least at first glance they all seem quite harmless.
- Lotus leaves
They cleanse blood vessels and cells from fatty deposits, reduce cholesterol levels, and convert fats into energy.
- Hawthorn fruit
It accelerates metabolism, increases vitality, and enhances stamina.
- Fluffy poria
It has a diuretic and tonic effect. It converts fats into energy, preventing their accumulation in reserve.
- Roots of opposite-leaved dioscorea
They are listed as a fat burner.
- Polypore mushroom
Ganoderma contains agaricic acid, which produces enzymes that break down fats. It normalizes liver function and removes the decay products of fat cells.
- Inner lining of chicken gizzards
They reduce appetite, have a beneficial effect on the stomach, and improve digestion.
This is the composition of the classic drug; now its new, improved, and enhanced variations are being produced. They may contain:
- plum pits
- violet alfalfa
- atractylodes largehead (a Chinese medicinal plant that relieves spasms)
- common lilac (a genus of olives that normalizes the heart and blood pressure)
- astragalus (bean family, has a diuretic effect)
- Apocynum venetum (a shrub whose shoots are used to prepare diuretic decoctions)
Do these incomprehensible names of exotic herbs, most of which have hardly been properly studied, really contribute to weight loss?
After studying the composition of Bilight, a natural question arises: how can such simple ingredients help you lose 20 kg of weight per month?! If this were really the case, then after using the capsules, everyone would already be slim and without excess weight. There can be only two answers: either there is no reason to count on such effective weight loss, as the manufacturers claim, or some ingredients are carefully concealed.
To uncover this secret for yourself, you should pay attention to the fact that both new and old Bilight are offered for sale on the websites. At the same time, the listed components in the composition completely coincide, but with one caveat: the old drug is more effective, since it is based on an enhanced formula.
There is no evidence, but a number of sources indicate that the old composition of the dietary supplement contained sibutramine. On the one hand, it is not a prohibited substance. On the other hand, all dieters have heard about its harmful effects on the body, which are fraught with dangerous side effects. And it is this ingredient that is likely to guarantee you a fantastic weight loss of up to 20 kg per month. True, you will have to pay for it with your own health. After accusations against the manufacturers of concealing this fact, an updated composition of the capsules was released. However, no one can guarantee the absence of this dubious ingredient in it either.
Various facts indicate the presence of sibutramine in Bilight. Firstly, the drug, for some unknown reason, is not certified. You can buy it from individuals or on the Internet, but not in a pharmacy, where safe and approved dietary supplements are sold. Secondly, the numerous side effects after taking the capsules exactly coincide with those caused by sibutramine. This is hardly a coincidence. Thirdly, the manufacturer has already been involved in a scandal related to the use of this substance in its products. Has he given up on it?
Therefore, when you read about the natural composition of Bilight, think about how much it corresponds to reality.
Hawthorn. This is a tall shrub that grows in Eurasia and North America. Its flowers and fruits are used in medicine to treat heart disease. The active substances in its composition interfere with lipid metabolism, accelerating it and thereby contributing to weight loss. Products: Hawthorn Premium, Hawthorn Forte, Hawthorn Plus.
