Diet pill containing NHS anti-obesity drug is sold out in just THREE days



Capsiplex is the first diet pill to contain ingredients previously only available on the NHS

A diet pill which contains an NHS anti-obesity drug has sold out just three days after going on sale.

More than 50,000 packs of Capsiplex flew off the shelves when the product hit the high street earlier this month.

The drug made by the British pharmaecutical giant of the same name, is the first to contain ingredients previously only available on the NHS.

It includes the clinically-proven Methylcellulose, which doctors prescribe to around 10,000 dieters every year.

Capsiplex claims to increase metabolism to burn calories 12 times faster than normal.

It sold out of 50,000 packs at stores such as Harrods, Selfridges and Lloyds Pharmacy, forcing the company to order more stock to keep up with demand.

A spokesman for Capsiplex said: 'Demand has been staggering with pre-launch orders and subsequent sales far greater than we could have ever expected.

'It is a discreet tablet which enables you to effortlessly lose weight without inhibiting your lifestyle. As we all know weight management basically comes down to making sure you don't consume more calories than you need.

Capsiplex costs £29.99 for a month's supply

'It sounds obvious but increased calorie intake, combined with an inactive lifestyle, can lead to significant weight gain but with our hectic life styles and meal times based on convenience food, it is incredibly easy to lose control and consume too many calories.'

Capsiplex launched the product on June 1st in chemists and pharmacies nationwide as well as on the manufacturer's website. It costs £29.99 for one month's supply.

The pills contain an increased dosage of blood sugar-regulating Chromium, fat burner L-Carnitine and 'star' ingredient Methylcellulose.

The company also produces Capsiplex Appetite Suppressant, which contains Potassium Citrate to control the body's water balance and improve muscle function, regulating blood pressure and producing more energy.

The company claims the appetite suppressant, which is £24.99 a month, can effectively balance blood sugar level, increase insulin efficiency and cut out sugar cravings and hence a reduced appetite.

It said clinical trials roved over 90 per cent of participants felt satisfied with half their usual food intake.
