We use the most modern equipment, approved and certified by international technologists.
In addition, production technology allows you to mix natural additives into honey, making it even more useful. The Peroni line has a separate DoctorHoney series - this is honey with the addition of beekeeping products: pollen, beebread, resin and propolis. All these ingredients are useful in themselves, and together with honey we get a real honey first aid kit.

How does linden work as a fat burner?
Such substances help speed up metabolism and rejuvenate the skin. Based on numerous reviews from female representatives, we can conclude that thanks to the daily use of linden infusion, you can lose two kilograms of excess weight in a month. The fact is that the plant has a diuretic effect. If you follow a drinking regime to maintain a normal water-salt balance and proper nutrition, you can remove excess fluid from the body, cleanse it of toxins and breakdown products of fat cells. Linden can also control appetite. An infusion of it, drunk thirty minutes before a meal, can reduce appetite, so the amount of food a person will absorb will be significantly reduced, therefore, fewer calories will enter the body.
Overweight is usually observed in people with hormonal system disorders. Linden helps normalize hormonal balance. It also reduces the concentration of sugar in the body. It is the increased sugar content that in some cases provokes the development of obesity.
To eliminate extra pounds, linden can be used in the following form:

The effectiveness of all of the above methods of using the plant is almost the same. The result comes within one month.
