About Fabuless™

Mechanism of Action

The Fabuless™ microstructure is thought to delay the digestion of the core palm-oil droplets in the stomach and small intestine. The droplets pass relatively undisturbed through the first part of the digestive tract into the latter part of the small intestine, the ileum. Undigested fat in the ileum is recognised as a signal that the body is satisfied. The brain will therefore be informed that there is no need to take in more food. The fat is digested as normal further down the ileum digestive track. This signalling mechanism, also referred to as the ‘Ileal brake mechanism’, causes a satiety effect, which is proven to make you eat less.

The physiological processes behind food intake and the control of human appetite are complex and not fully understood. Publications and research-related documentation on the satiety effect of Fabuless™ are available on request.
