Taking a complex of this type while drinking little is counterproductive and uncomfortable. If you are not prepared to drink more, this product is of no use to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaking it in the morning on waking, before breakfast, is what the manufacturer settles on. It has an obvious practical advantage: it puts most of the effect into the day rather than the night, which avoids waking up in the small hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree capsules at once with a large glass of water: take them one at a time if you find capsules hard to swallow. The manufacturer also recommends \u003cstrong\u003egoing easy on salt\u003c\/strong\u003e during the course and keeping up regular physical activity — two levers that genuinely do something, and a good deal more than a capsule does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA course of three to four weeks, a week's break, then start again if needed.

It is a product for an occasional course, not for permanent use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe contraindications here are specific and you need to read them before buying.\u003c\/strong\u003e The manufacturer advises against the product for \u003cstrong\u003epregnant or breastfeeding women\u003c\/strong\u003e, and for \u003cstrong\u003epeople with kidney disorders, kidney stones or prostate problems without prior medical advice\u003c\/strong\u003e.

If you take a diuretic or an antihypertensive, the question is one for your doctor or pharmacist before you open the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe presence of bromelain adds two points to watch: interactions are described with anticoagulant treatments, and people allergic to pineapple or latex may react to it. The product may also contain traces of gluten, milk and egg. The capsules are plant-based, which makes it compatible with vegetarian and vegan diets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you should not expect from it: \u003cstrong\u003ethis product does not make you lose weight.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is not a fat burner, it creates no calorie deficit, and a change on the scales linked to fluid is not a loss of body fat. It replaces neither diet nor physical activity — those are the only two levers that count, as our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/perte-du-poids\"\u003eweight loss\u003c\/a\u003e section points out. And it treats nothing: heavy legs that settle in, oedema or unexplained weight gain are matters for a doctor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlant complex or fat burner, what is the difference?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two sit side by side in the same section and are often confused, wrongly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/bruleurs-en-gelules\"\u003efat burner in capsules\u003c\/a\u003e relies mainly on stimulants, caffeine first among them. Its effect is noticeable — alertness, energy — and it concerns energy expenditure and tolerance to training. It disrupts sleep if taken too late and does not suit every level of sensitivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis complex contains no stimulant at all. That is a structural difference: you do not feel it, it does not disrupt sleep and it can be taken by someone who cannot tolerate caffeine. It is also a short-course product, whereas a fat burner is used across a whole phase. If you are looking for stimulant-free support, our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/bruleur-de-graisse-sans-cafeine\"\u003ecaffeine-free fat burners\u003c\/a\u003e section offers other approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat the two families have in common is worth saying plainly: \u003cstrong\u003eneither one makes you lose weight in itself.\u003c\/strong\u003e No weight-loss claim is authorised for their ingredients. What produces the result is the calorie deficit and physical activity; the rest is support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many servings are there in a bottle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20 servings: 60 capsules at three a day, for a net weight of 52 g. Since the manufacturer recommends a course of three to four weeks, one bottle does not quite cover a full course. Plan on two if you want to see it through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo you need to drink more during the course?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and it is a firm instruction from the manufacturer: at least two litres of water a day, on top of the 250 ml that goes with the serving. That is the condition for using this type of complex comfortably. Without it, most of the point of the product disappears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this product make you lose weight?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, and no weight-loss claim is authorised in Europe for its ingredients. A change linked to body fluids is not a loss of body fat. Only a calorie deficit and physical activity produce that result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you take it alongside blood pressure medication?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot without medical advice. The manufacturer explicitly asks you to consult a healthcare professional if you are taking diuretics or medication for high blood pressure. Several of the plants in the formula work in a neighbouring register, and combining them is not a trivial matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these capsules suitable for vegans?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The capsule is plant-based, made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and all the actives are of plant or synthetic origin. It is one of the few products in this range that is, as most use gelatine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Cactinea?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is an extract of prickly pear fruit (\u003cem\u003eOpuntia ficus-indica\u003c\/em\u003e), dosed here at 300 mg per serving. It is the main and most distinctive ingredient in the formula. No health claim is authorised for this plant in Europe: we state its presence and its dose, without attributing any effect to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs there any caffeine in it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNone. The formula contains no caffeine, no guarana, no green tea and no stimulant of any kind. It can therefore be taken by someone sensitive to stimulants, and in the morning as intended with no consequences for sleep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere can you buy IO Genix Liquid Squeezer?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 60-capsule bottle can be ordered from this page, and we ship throughout France and Europe. At the Vendargues shop, about ten minutes from Montpellier, this is a product we always ask the same question about before selling it: how much do you drink a day? When the answer is somewhere around a litre, we suggest starting there — it costs nothing and changes a great deal more.
