Maturation Notes:

The potion should mature for 36 hours before use. The potion should mature in direct sunlight with a strong heat source.

To Store:

The potion should be stored in a dark place of moderate room temperature. The potion can be stored for up to 2 weeks. However, if the oil begins separating and rising to the top, it should be discarded.

To Use:

The adipocytic potion should only be prescribed by an advanced Healer specializing in dietary potions. To use, 5 droplets of the potion should be taken either directly on the tongue or in a high-citrus juice. It tastes a bit like mango and musty chocolate on its own. It should only be taken once every five days, with weekly visits to prescribing Healer.

Two days after the first dose, the user will begin to lose weight. Side effects include bad cramping, muscle spasms, increased heart rate, and difficulty breathing. Some experience hot flashes, nausea, vomiting, and stomach ulcers. In rare cases, heart attack and stroke have occurred.

Caution:

The potion should only be taken under close watch of an experienced Healer. Improper use of the potion has led to emaciation, nutrient deficiency, and in some cases starvation.
