Meta Herbal is the company behind the nonprescription diet supplement called Lipoblast Extreme. That American manufacturer sells a considerable list of nonprescription products from a broad spectrum of categories in the health and wellness industry. They range from memory enhancement to hangover cures and from sexual aids to sleep aids. Somewhere in the middle of all of that is their weight loss category, in which this product can be found.
Although Lipoblast Extreme doesn’t have an official website of its own, it does have an official page on the manufacturer’s site. That said, while it can be purchased there, the information that is provided in its description is quite limited and does not give the consumer adequate details to be able to make a truly informed choice.
Though the 183 customer reviews on the official website have left it with a four star (out of five) rating, when looking at other retailers, such as Amazon, the image of the reviews is slightly different. There are more than 100 five star ratings on Amazon for Lipoblast Extreme, but at the same time, there are around an equal number of one star ratings for this product on that website. Clearly, there is no consistent sentiment regarding the way that this product works – or does not work.
Aside from this anecdotal evidence, there doesn’t appear to be anything empirical in terms of trials and studies conducted on humans by reputable organizations that would indicate that this is a safe or effective product to use. It is, therefore, up to the individual consumer to look at the ingredients list and determine whether or not it is appropriate for him or her to use. It is highly recommended that a doctor be consulted within this process.
The official page for Lipoblast Extreme does provide a full ingredients list, though not the quantities for each of the substances. At the time of this review, the ingredients were listed as: Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCL), Pantothenic Acid (di-calcium pantothenate), Magnesium (Chealate oxide), Tyrosine Complex (proprietary blend of l-tyrosine and acetyl-tyrosine), Green Tea Extract (standardized for epigallocatedchin gallate, caffeine and polyphenols, Cocoa Extract (standardized for PEA (phenlethylamine), tyramime and theobromine), Yerba Mate (standardized for caffeine and methyanthines, dl-methionine, Ginger Root (standardized for gingerols), Proprietary blend fo3, 3′, 4′, 5-7 pentahydroxyflavone and 3, 3′, 4′, 7-tetrahydroxy-flavone), Bitter Orange (standardized for synephrine, n-methyltryramine, hordenine, octopamine and tyramine, DMAE 2 dimethylaminoethanol), Grape Seed Extract (standardized for catechines).
With a list that long, it is unlikely that there is enough of all of these substances to produce any real effect, even if you can assume that they are effective. That said, there is a red flag that can be spotted immediately when reading this list, and that is in the form of bitter orange and the synephrine that it contains. That is a substance against which a warning has been published by the FDA due to powerful and unpleasant potential side effects.
