Lipo 6 is a fat burner that is made by Nutrex and originally contained ephedra.It got its name from having six ingredients, but now it only has five as it is ephedra-free. Lipo 6 sells for approximately $50 for 120 capsules, which is expensive considering the recommended dosage is 4-6 capsules per day.

Product Claims

• “Rated #1 Product for Fat Loss 3 Years in a Row” – this was based on overall fat loss, appetite-suppressing properties, increased energy, and metabolism
• “Unique Appetite Controlling Properties”
• “Attacks Stored Body Fat”
• “Rapid Weight Loss”
• “LIPO-6 Ephedra-Free is a ground-breaking fat-loss formula that utilizes a modern liquid-capsule delivery system for maximum results. This unique liquid capsule design provides people with a powerful and highly effective tool to assist in rapid weight loss.”

Active Ingredients and How it Works

• Caffeine: a diuretic that boosts metabolism
• Bioperine: aids in the absorption of nutrients
• Yohimbe: increases metabolism, stimulates fat loss, and assists in muscle growth
• Guggulsterones E&Z: stabilizes blood sugar and stimulates fat-burning
• Synephrine: similar to ephedrine, increases metabolism, has fat-burning and appetite-suppressing properties

Scientific Evidence

While the liquid-capsule system may offer quicker absorption, there is no scientific proof that this formula will produce the desired effects, such as increased metabolism, appetite suppression, and fat loss. It has not been approved by the FDA, and clinical research and trials do not exist.

Consumer Feedback

“I have been taking lipo 6 for 4 days now and I work out everyday and eat right. I have already lost 4 pounds and my family members tell me they can see that I'm losing weight. I'm glad I finally found something that works!”

“I started taking it recently and I find myself having "heart burns", like my whole chest is burning, not only that I feel my heart racing like a wild horse on a mission to go crazy! I have been having headaches and dizziness and I drink plenty of water so it's not because I'm dehydrated.”
