Lipozene is a type of nonprescription diet supplement that has spent a great deal of time in the media. It has received a considerable amount of attention and publication online, on television, and over the radio. Consumers are hearing a great deal about this product – whether they want to or not – which is a strong reflection of the size of the marketing budget available to this company.
This product is marketed by a company called the Obesity Research Institute LLC. It is based in Encinitas, California. Other than the fact that it is not a Better Business Bureau accredited company, very little could be discovered about this company through a basic online search.
That said, its message about the use of Lipozene is very clear. Essentially, by taking this pill, regardless of any additional dieting or exercise, the dieter is supposed to be able to lose the excess weight. This claim is made by a very large number of nonprescription products but it has yet to become possible for any product to actually achieve that goal. All weight loss requires a change in diet or exercise or both.
The company has managed to accumulate some customer success stories. Most of those were based on claims of effective appetite suppression. That said, there are also a number of consumer complaints registered on third party websites throughout the internet, when it comes to Lipozene and its effects, lack thereof, and unwanted side effects.
That said, this product is also not inexpensive to use. Lipozene is to be taken in servings of two capsules, three times per day for a total of six daily capsules. They are to be taken thirty minutes before each meal with a glass of water. As each bottle contains 30 pills, and each bottle costs $30, this means that a one month supply will be a staggering $180.
That product is based on a single ingredient, glucomannan. That ingredient is extremely common in the weight loss industry and the fact that it is the only active ingredient in this product justifies neither the claims nor the price tag. This is essentially a water soluble dietary fiber that is obtained from the Konjac plant’s roots. It is typically used as a thickening agent in the food industry because it swells up when it is in the presence of water. It absorbs many times its size in liquid.
It functions under this same principle in terms of helping people to lose weight. When it is taken with a lot of water, it will absorb the water and expand in the stomach, giving the user the feeling of being fuller than they actually are. This could work, though only provided that the user actually changes his or her diet and eats less and lower calorie foods due to a decreased hunger level.
