Weight-loss injections, weight-loss pills, juice cleanse – what are the differences?
Three terms that appear in the same search field but belong to completely different categories: drugs, dietary supplements, and food. This article explains the legal framework behind them, who makes the decisions in each case—and what claims a food product is actually allowed to make.

What It's All About
What is meant by “weight-loss injections” and “weight-loss pills”
Both terms are part of everyday language, not technical terms. They refer to very different things—and that is why a comparison without this distinction can quickly lead to misunderstandings.
Weight-Loss Injection
A colloquial term for prescription medications that are prescribed and monitored by a doctor. The treating physician is solely responsible for determining the use, dosage, and suitability of these medications. LiveFresh does not manufacture medications and does not provide advice on them.
Weight-loss pill
A vague term that conflates three categories: prescription drugs, pharmacy-only products, and over-the-counter dietary supplements. Legally and in terms of their nature, these three have nothing to do with one another.
juice cleanse
A food product. A routine lasting several days consisting of cold-pressed¹ juices and shots with a deliberately reduced calorie intake. Not a medicine, not a treatment, not a therapy—and therefore not comparable to the two categories above.
Die Kategorien nebeneinander
Drei Kategorien, drei Regelwerke

Die Tabelle stellt Kategorien gegenüber, keine Wirkungen. Ein Lebensmittel und ein Arzneimittel verfolgen unterschiedliche Zwecke und sind in ihrer Wirkung nicht vergleichbar.
Food Safety Rules
What a Food Product Can Claim Regarding Weight
Foods and dietary supplements are subject to the European Health Claims Regulation. Health and weight-related claims are permitted only if they have been scientifically verified and are included on the EU list. When it comes to weight loss, there are very few such claims—and they must be used verbatim.
The Approved Case
Glucomannan—and Why Context Matters
Glucomannan is a soluble dietary fiber derived from the root of the konjac plant. It is one of the few ingredients with an approved claim regarding weight loss. The key factor here is the condition specified in the claim itself: it applies only as part of a low-calorie diet.
This is exactly where the two parts come together. juice cleanse provides the low-calorie framework with 743 kcal per day. The claim itself refers to the dietary supplement Glucomannan – Slim Support, not to the juices.
Glucomannan contributes to weight loss when part of a low-calorie diet.²
- The beneficial effect is achieved with a daily intake of 3 g of glucomannan, taken in three 1-gram servings with 1–2 glasses of water before meals
- Take with plenty of water so that the glucomannan reaches the stomach
- There is a risk of choking for people who have difficulty swallowing or who do not drink enough fluids
- Not suitable for pregnant women, breastfeeding women, children, or adolescents
- Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle, both of which are important
Einordnung im Alltag
Für wen die Saftkur gedacht ist
Eine Saftkur ist eine bewusste Auszeit über wenige Tage, kein Dauerzustand und keine Ernährungsform. Sie passt dann gut, wenn Du einen klaren Anfangspunkt suchst – und weniger, wenn Du eine Lösung erwartest, die ohne Dein Zutun funktioniert.
Was danach kommt, entscheidet mehr als die Kur selbst. Deshalb liegen Rezepte und Tipps für die Vor- und Nachbereitung jeder Kur bei.

Important to Know
When a Doctor's Office Is the Right Place to Go
A juice cleanse is a food product and is not a substitute for medical advice. In these cases, it's best to consult a doctor first rather than starting on your own:
- You have an existing medical condition or take medication regularly
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You are under 18 years of age
- You want to know whether and how a change in weight would be beneficial in your case
- If you have difficulty swallowing, glucomannan is not right for you
Questions about prescription medications should be directed exclusively to a doctor's office. We do not provide advice on this matter and are not authorized to do so.
Frequently Asked Questions
Weight-loss injections, weight-loss pills, and juice cleanse
No. A weight-loss injection is, colloquially speaking, a prescription drug, while juice cleanse is a food product. The two belong to different categories with different sets of regulations and are not comparable in terms of their effects. Only your doctor can determine whether a medication is appropriate for you.
In everyday language, the term “weight-loss shot” refers to prescription medications. “Weight-loss pill” is a more vague term and is used to refer to a wide variety of products: prescription drugs, pharmacy-only products, and over-the-counter dietary supplements. The applicable rules depend solely on the specific legal category of the product.
During the juice cleanse, you’ll consume significantly fewer calories than usual through the juices. Whether and how this affects your weight depends primarily on what you eat before and after the cleanse. To complement the cleanse, you can choose Glucomannan – Slim Support: Glucomannan contributes to weight loss as part of a low-calorie diet2. You’ll receive recipes and tips for preparing for and following the program right away.
Only the following claim is permitted: Glucomannan contributes to weight loss as part of a low-calorie diet2. The beneficial effect is achieved with a daily intake of 3 g of glucomannan in three 1-gram servings, taken with 1–2 glasses of water before meals. Other or more extensive claims are not permitted.
Because, under the Health Claims Regulation, it is not permitted to make claims regarding the rate or amount of weight loss associated with food products. Anyone who makes such claims is acting in violation of the law.
For pregnant women, breastfeeding women, children, and adolescents. If you have difficulty swallowing or do not drink enough fluids, there is a risk of choking; therefore, it is essential to take this product with plenty of water.
No. juice cleanse is a food product, not a treatment. If you have an existing medical condition, are taking medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have questions about weight changes, you should consult your doctor.
