Capsules are an easy-to-use form of dietary supplements, but many people still find their similarity to medication off-putting. Sprays and drops as forms of dietary supplements have appeared not long ago, and not everyone trusts innovations like that. Ready-to-drink fat-burning and thermogenic drinks have a short shelf life and contain a certain level of sugar and preservatives, which reduces their attractiveness.
However, powdered slimming agents are growing in popularity. Sachets are easy to use. Their contents can be diluted in water and turned into a cocktail that can replace any meal. Guarchibao FatCaps, DietDrink, Slimmer, TurboSlim express slimming, TurboFit, Vita la Vita, Eatless new, XLS Medical — this is not a complete list of the varieties available. Manufacturers of sports nutrition have picked up this trend and now offer their customers powdered proteinated drinks in jars and tetra packs.
Traditional powdered products can also be used for slimming. They have fat-burning and other properties. For example, mustard, cinnamon, kelp seaweed, ground ginger root.
The advantages of this powdered form are obvious: the powder contains a high concentration of useful substances, preservatives and dyes are not required, the shelf life is long, and you can carry a sachet with you and make a drink from its contents at any convenient time.

If you suffer from edema, then magnesia is the best suited for you. If you just want to add a fat-burning drink to your diet, then you can use the appropriate dietary supplements.
However, do not forget that all products have contraindications and should be used with caution. It is best to consult a dietitian or physician before starting the intake.
The process of losing weight with the help of all these powders can be accelerated if you go in for sports and limit the caloric value of the daily diet during their use.
Wrap recipe. Pour hot water over the mustard powder — the consistency should be like sour cream. Beat well, add a little linden honey, white clay or olive oil (these ingredients are needed for the softening effect). Spread the resulting mixture on the problem area, wrap with cling film, and keep warm for 20 minutes.
