FigurAgil aktiv

Do you want to lose weight without always feeling hungry? Do you want to boost your metabolism? Are you fed up with the yo-yo effect after radical diets? Are you looking for a nutritional supplement that will help you boost your metabolism alongside exercise and a healthy diet? Then FigurAgil aktiv is exactly what you need. Vitamin B1, B12 and copper support your normal energy metabolism. Zinc supports your normal fatty acid and carbohydrate metabolism.

FigurAgil aktiv contains glucomannan, valuable minerals, vitamins and plant extracts. FigurAgil aktiv contains 1 g glucomannan per serving (2 capsules). Glucomannan can bind a lot of water and thereby increase its volume in the stomach many times over. Due to this property, glucomannan has a satiating effect and can therefore help with weight loss. The positive effect occurs when 3 g glucomannan is taken daily in three portions of 1 g in conjunction with 1-2 glasses of water before meals and as part of a low-calorie diet. FigurAgil aktiv is also designed to support your metabolism. Vitamin B1, B12 and copper contribute to normal energy metabolism. Zinc contributes to normal fatty acid and carbohydrate metabolism.

Firstly, the stomach sends satiety signals to the brain. Receptors in the stomach measure how much the stomach wall stretches and report this to the brain. Secondly, there are receptors in the intestines that regulate satiety and measure which nutrients are consumed and in what quantities. Both factors contribute to whether we feel hungry or full. With the help of information from the stomach and intestines, but also the liver, the brain then controls which hormones the body releases. The hormones, such as the hormone leptin, then create the feeling of satiety. You can positively influence your feeling of satiety if you eat slowly and chew your food well. It is also helpful to drink while eating and to start with a smaller portion. The feeling of satiety usually only sets in after about 20 minutes.

In general, it is advisable to actively adjust your diet and lifestyle while taking FigurAgil. Take a look at the section “Should I change my diet at the same time?” It is important that the recommended consumption amount is not exceeded. In addition, no other dietary supplements containing zinc should be taken. AgilNature products also contain piperine. There are a few tips to keep in mind: Notes on BioPerine®

Metabolism refers to all processes in which the nutrients supplied with food are broken down, converted and built up into new products in the cells. These processes are vital and ensure that the cells are supplied with all the important nutrients. The following symptoms may indicate that your metabolism is not functioning optimally or is working more slowly: Weight gain: If you have not changed your eating and exercise habits but are still unexpectedly gaining weight, this could be due to an insufficiently activated metabolism. Fatigue, hair loss, headaches, mood swings or difficulty concentrating can also indicate a slow metabolism. However, since the symptoms are very unspecific, they may also have another cause. If you have already been on a diet and often struggle with the annoying yo-yo effect afterwards, this can also be a sign that your metabolism was not sufficiently activated during your reduced calorie intake.

Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. In general, it is always advisable to pay attention to a balanced and varied diet. If you want to consciously support your body in achieving your goals through your diet, then I have a few tips for you: As already mentioned, a varied diet is important. But what does that mean exactly? Varied means making your diet as colorful and varied as possible. Vary between different, mainly plant-based foods and supplement them with animal sources. Include valuable fats and fiber. Vegetable oils such as olive oil or rapeseed oil are considered valuable fats, but marine fats and nuts are also considered healthy. Fiber is mainly found in fruit and vegetables, as well as in whole grains. According to DGE recommendations (German Nutrition Society), your daily diet should include at least 3 portions of vegetables and 2 portions of fruit a day. Choose whole grain instead of white flour. Enjoy meat in moderation, but most people can eat fish more often. Drink enough. Water and unsweetened tea are best for this. Avoid soft drinks. It is also a good idea to avoid sweets and fast food. It is best to cook yourself. Use fresh ingredients. Yes, this does take a certain amount of time, but it is the best way to decide what ends up on your plate and to combine what you really like. To preserve the nutrients, you should heat fruit and vegetables for as little time as possible, but for as long as necessary. Therefore, stewing and steaming are very good methods of preserving the nutrient content. Meat and fish, on the other hand, should always be cooked thoroughly. You should avoid deep-frying or other fatty preparation methods as they not only contain high amounts of mostly unhealthy fats, but can also produce harmful substances such as acrylamide. But it is not just the composition of what ends up on your plate that is important, the way you eat the food is also relevant. Take your time to eat. Enjoy it and make sure you chew well. But everyday stress also paralyses our digestion. Take time for yourself in your everyday life. Short moments of relaxation with a cup of tea are particularly suitable. Take a look at our tea blends. And nothing boosts the metabolism like exercise. Short daily walks are a good start.

Legally speaking, food supplements are considered food. They contain nutrients such as vitamins and minerals that are also found in normal food. In food supplements, however, these substances are in concentrated form and usually in a higher dosage. Food supplements are available in various forms. There are tablets, capsules, powders, effervescent tablets or even liquids. Some food supplements also contain plant extracts.

The AgilNature nutritional supplements are developed in collaboration with nutritionists. The valuable formulations mostly consist of a mineral and vitamin complex combined with plant extracts and are specifically tailored to their functions. The formulation combines the latest scientific findings with tried and tested old wisdom. The carefully selected ingredients make the AgilNature products a valuable nutritional supplement. The AgilNature nutritional supplements are high-quality products that are developed and manufactured according to the strict guidelines of the AgilNature quality promise. By avoiding known allergens, chemical additives and genetically modified substances, a high level of tolerability is guaranteed. Out of ethical conviction, we avoid all animal raw materials. FigurAgil aktiv is 100% vegan!

In our nutritional supplements, we use the power of nature in addition to the vitamin and mineral complexes in order to contribute holistically to maintaining health. Unfortunately, there is very strict regulation of the marketing of nutritional supplements in the EU. We are therefore hardly allowed to advertise the effects of certain plant substances. However, that does not mean that they cannot work. If you want to find out more about the effects of plant substances, then do your own research. You will be surprised at the power that plants have!

Unfortunately, many people today do not have sufficiently filled micronutrient stores. This is mainly due to our lifestyle. Diet plays a big part in this. Currently, our diet often contains too much sugar and white flours as well as too much unhealthy fat and not enough fiber and plant-based food sources. If you want to refill your nutrient stores, make sure you eat a balanced and varied diet. But dietary supplements can also help you to fill up your reserves.

Dietary supplements are repeatedly criticized for leading to an overdose. Yes, dietary supplements may contain vitamins or minerals in higher concentrations than you would get from a normal diet. However, this does not immediately pose a risk of overdose. In fact, many people tend to have too few micronutrients in their stores.

Our body also has numerous sophisticated regulatory mechanisms, so that in many cases it only gets the nutrients from food that it really needs. However, it makes sense to have a blood analysis done by your family doctor before taking very highly concentrated food supplements in order to get an overview of your own storage and then be able to make a personalized selection of possible food supplements.

Sometimes dietary supplements are criticized for being potentially contaminated. However, our AgilNature quality promise guarantees dietary supplements that are free of known allergens, chemical additives and genetically modified substances. This means we can guarantee a high level of compatibility.

However, dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet. The mere consumption of dietary supplements is often not enough to do something good for your body. If you want to get to the root of the reasons for your micronutrient deficiencies, you should start where you get most of your nutrients from: your diet. It is best to ensure a varied diet that contains many different types of fruit and vegetables, some whole grain products and few finished products and sweets. If you find this difficult, you can always get advice from various nutritionists: inside.

Recognizing a micronutrient deficiency is often not that easy. The body usually signals a deficiency with unspecific symptoms such as listlessness, tiredness or reduced stress tolerance. However, if massive deficiencies occur, they can manifest themselves in deficiency-related diseases. However, if you suspect this is the case with you, you should see a doctor.

However, most micronutrient deficiencies are not as severe. A good way to illustrate this is to compare people with gears that mesh and influence each other. If some gears are already a bit worn, the system no longer runs so smoothly. If some of your micronutrient stores are no longer so full, this has an impact on other processes in your body. So it makes sense to always fill your storage well. This can be achieved with a balanced and varied diet and possibly additional food supplements. A simple way to determine your micronutrient needs is to ask your doctor for an analysis of your micronutrient status.

Dietary supplements are often criticized. But there are also many people who never want to do without dietary supplements again. Now who is right?

Unfortunately, this question cannot be answered unequivocally, but in the following lines we would like to give you a few reasons why we believe that the consumption of dietary supplements can be useful.

1. Dietary supplements can help you to fill up certain nutrient deficiencies more quickly than a simple change in diet would do. Nevertheless, it makes sense to adjust your diet in parallel with the consumption of food supplements, because food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet.
2. The AgilNature food supplements are also put together in such a way that they provide you with the best possible combination of minerals, vitamins and selected plant extracts for a specific goal.
3. Are you vegan? Of course we're happy about that, because you're protecting the animals and our environment, but you should definitely supplement with vitamin B12. Unfortunately, vitamin B12 can only be found in foods of animal origin and cannot be produced by the body itself. It is therefore essential for you to take vitamin B12 as a dietary supplement or in fortified foods. Attention: Even vegetarians: Despite the consumption of milk and milk products as well as eggs, internal vitamin B12 levels are often too low. It is therefore advisable for both vegans and vegetarians to have their vitamin B12 status and other critical micronutrients such as iron checked by their family doctor on a regular basis.
4. The desire for children is growing in you, but you don't want to do anything wrong when it comes to nutrition? Here you should pay particular attention to a sufficient intake or supplementation of folic acid and not just when you are already pregnant, but also when you are planning to become pregnant. However, we recommend that you inform yourself about this. You can either do this with your gynecologist or, even better, with a nutritionist: in.
5. You probably already knew that the body can synthesize vitamin D independently through the skin. But do you also know that in winter it is almost impossible to get enough sun to produce vitamin D adequately due to the position of the sun in our latitudes? Here, too, we strongly recommend having your family doctor check your vitamin D status and supplementing with vitamin D if necessary.
