Rimonabant Acomplia | Acomplia Alternative

What is Acomplia?

Acomplia is the brand name given to the medicinal drug Rimonabant.

Acomplia is a considerably powerful, pharmaceutical grade appetite suppressant that has received as much condemnation as it has praise .

When it was first introduced on the market it was hailed by leading health care professionals as a wonder drug, destined to be the anti obesity drug of the future.

In fact since its release in 2006, Acomplia has been prescribed to over 100,000 patients.

However, the high instance of side effects meant that in October 2008 it was banned from sale amid serious reports of Rimonabant causing psychiatric disorders.

Acomplia was only obtainable through prescription and only after a full consultation from a doctor - Acomplia is not available to buy legally over the counter or online.

How does Rimonabant Acomplia work?

Acomplia or Rimonabant works as an appetite suppressant and directly attaches itself to the brains cannabinoid receptors. These receptors are thought to be responsible for dependency and are normally suppressed when we consume food. Acomplia mimics this effect and therefore reduces appetite.

Acomplia was developed to help overcome other habits, not just overeating. It also proved successful in helping people who wanted to curb alcohol, tobacco and even drug addiction.

Reported Acomplia Side Effects

- Nausea, dizziness, and fainting
- Stomach cramps and other gastrointestinal problems
- Chronic back pain
- Weariness and tiredness
- Psychiatric disorders
- Tendonitis

Acomplia has also been linked to suicidal thoughts and other serious mental disorders. The drug itself can also become addictive.

Rather unfortunately for this future "miracle" drug the FDA considered that the negatives far outweigh any positives and it was duly taken off the shelves.

Other prescription only appetite suppressants

Reductil is another prescription only appetite suppressant that is still available through your doctor. However although it is considered to be safer than Acomplia there are still some alarming Reductil side effects. Our recommendation would be to go the natural route and cut out side effects altogether.

Natural and side effect free Acomplia alternatives

One of Natures most potent appetite suppressant is considered to be the Hoodia Gordonii cactus which grows wild in the deserts of South Africa. Although available over the counter, Hoodia Gordonii has been clinically proven to suppress appetite and has delivered surprising weight loss results in all tests to date.

Originally discovered in the early 60's, Hoodia has actually been used for thousands of years by the tribes of the African Kalahari Desert. These tribes have been using the extract of Hoodia to keep hunger at bay while on long hunting trips, and have given it their children when food is scarce.

However, buying a quality Hoodia supplement can be a bit of a minefield, and you should look out for the following:

- Has the Hoodia extract been freeze dried before encapsulation?

- Is it farmed in South Africa with SITE certification confirming its origin?

- Do the capsules solely contain pure Hoodia with no binders, fillers or other preservatives?

- Has the Hoodia been screened for bacteria?

If you’re looking for a Hoodia product that ticks all the right boxes, then we highly recommend UniqueHoodia.
