Why 'Hwan' (Pills)?

Highly Concentrated Herbal Medicine Ingredients in a Convenient Form

We formulate our diet herbal medicine in 'Hwan' (pill) form.

In addition to ease of consumption,

'Hwan' (pills) is a dosage form that can offer advantages in terms of active ingredient concentration and sustained efficacy in the body.

1. High Concentration of Active Ingredients

Hwan (pills) are solid forms created by decocting herbal ingredients for a long time, concentrating them, and then refining them.

They help you consume the necessary active ingredients even in small amounts.

Compared to powder form, advantages can be expected in terms of ingredient concentration and bodily action.

2. Enhanced Sustained Effect

Hwan (pills) are designed to be absorbed relatively slowly in the body.

This characteristic can help actions such as appetite control and fat metabolism promotion be maintained for a longer period.

It is expected that they can have a sustained impact on metabolic activity even without frequent consumption.

3. Reduced Gastric Burden, Increased Absorption Efficiency.

Due to the nature of the solid dosage form, direct irritation to the gastric mucosa is relatively reduced,

which can help reduce heartburn or gastric burden, allowing for more comfortable consumption.

Furthermore, it helps active ingredients be delivered more stably to the necessary intestinal areas.

4. Easy Storage and Portability

Unlike powdered herbal medicine, which is relatively sensitive to moisture, Hwan (pills) offer the advantage of maintaining the stability of their medicinal effects even during long-term storage.

Since they are individually packaged in small sizes, they are easy to take without hassle when going out or traveling.

Principles of Diet Herbal Medicine

*Basic Approach to Herbal Medicine Diet

Herbal medicine-based weight management does not solely focus on suppressing appetite.

It is important to restore the body's overall metabolic balance, create a bodily state that facilitates body fat metabolism, and aids in reducing swelling and expelling waste products.

It can help control appetite, reduce unnecessary hunger, and prevent excessive eating.

It can help break down body fat and activate overall metabolism, contributing to body fat reduction.

It can relieve unnecessary fluid retention in the body and improve blood circulation, which may help reduce swelling.

It can promote healthy bowel function, helping to relieve constipation symptoms and facilitate the elimination of harmful substances from the intestines.

It can help control excessive appetite caused by stress and manage psychological hunger.

Key Ingredient: Ephedra (麻黃) is involved in activating metabolism.

Traditionally, in Korean medicine, Ephedra has been used for swelling or weight management purposes.

Ephedrine derivatives contained in Ephedra are known to activate the sympathetic nervous system, inducing metabolic activation as follows.

Increased Heat Production (Thermogenesis)

Ephedrine activates brown adipose tissue, raising body temperature, which can lead to increased energy consumption.

As a result, it can influence metabolism towards more efficient fat burning in the body.

Action that Aids Fat Breakdown (Lipolysis)

When the sympathetic nervous system is stimulated, the secretion of catecholamine hormones like adrenaline and noradrenaline becomes active,

helping to break down triglycerides accumulated in fat cells and release them into the bloodstream.

Regulates Appetite

Ephedra affects the hypothalamic region of the brain, increasing the secretion of appetite-related neurotransmitters like norepinephrine. This can contribute to an overall reduction in food intake.

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) may increase.

By activating overall bodily metabolic activity, it can influence an increase in the amount of calories burned even during rest.

Weight Maintenance Pills = Kkeutjang Gambi Hwan

As important as losing weight is consistently maintaining a healthy weight after weight loss.

It is common for many people to quickly stop taking diet medication after reaching their target weight, leading to weight regain.

This is because a decrease in basal metabolic rate and a return of appetite, combined with unstable metabolism, make it easy for fat to accumulate again.

To prevent the yo-yo effect, it is important to gradually reduce medication dosage in consultation with medical professionals. A gradual transition is necessary to allow our bodies to adapt to the new weight and transition to a stable metabolic state.

Dieting is not about finishing in a short time, but rather a process of building healthy lifestyle habits from a long-term perspective. Instead of abruptly stopping diet medication on your own, it is wise to seek advice from a medical professional who can understand and manage the subtle changes in your body.

For managing the yo-yo effect, 'Kkeutjang Gambihwan' can be an option.

Successful weight management depends on avoiding the yo-yo effect.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic strives to assist you in this maintenance process.
