The Mechanism of Action

Drug-Free Technology That Works

The Epitomee® Capsule represents a new frontier in weight management—combining advanced material science with a simple, natural mechanism of action. Each Capsule contains a proprietary polymer blend that gently expands in the stomach after being taken with water, forming a semi-rigid, gel-like triangle structure. Here’s how it works.

Ingesting

Swallow one capsule with two 8-ounce (250 ml) glasses of water, 30 minutes before lunch and dinner.

Expanding

Once in your stomach, the device inside the capsule absorbs the water and gently expands into a triangle shape.

Satiating

The expanded triangle gently presses on your stomach walls, signaling fullness to your brain.

Disintegrating

After several hours, the capsule breaks down completely in the small intestine and is naturally cleared out of the body.

The Epitomee® Capsule is designed to fit seamlessly into your daily routine. Just take one capsule with water before your two main meals—no complicated schedules, no drastic lifestyle changes. It works in the background, helping you stay on track.

With Epitomee®, there’s no need for crash diets or restrictive meal plans. It supports natural portion control, so you can enjoy the foods you love—just in smaller amounts. It's a manageable approach to weight loss that works with your body, not against it.

Epitomee® offers a non-pharmaceutical approach to weight management. Clinical studies show it’s well-tolerated, with no stimulants, no systemic absorption, and none of the harsh side effects often seen with weight loss drugs.

Extended use with Epitomee® was shown to be associated with weight loss maintenance as tested in a 48 weeks ELECT study.1
