Lipozene Facts

Lipozene is a weight loss product manufactured by the Obesity Institute LLC. Its advertisements can be found all over the internet, as well as on TV.

Ingredients

• Lipozene is made entirely from glucomannan, a natural fiber that has been clinically shown to help reduce levels of LDL cholesterol and blood lipids.

Effects

• Gloucomannan, like most forms of fiber, makes the stomach feel full, which means people eat less and thus burn more fat. According to Dietblogtalk.com, it may also function as a mild laxative, which some dietitians warn against using, as it can be very unhealthy (see Resources).

Dosage

• Those taking Lipozene are recommended to take six pills a day for maximum effectiveness.

Cost

• Lipozene retails for around $20 a bottle, and can be ordered from Lipozene.com (see Resources).

Considerations

• Lipozene's website claims to have clinical proof of its effectiveness, yet offers no tangible proof of such studies. Also, websites like Dietblogtalk.com have pages of customer feedback that is overwhelmingly negative toward Lipozene, with the majority of customers giving it a "thumbs down."
