When Lipo 6 was first released, back in 2005, it was the world's first liquid fat burning capsule. It became very popular very quickly and was voted 'Fat-Loss Product of the Year' in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 by the consumer and industry website www.bodybuilding.com.
It is marketed primarily at bodybuilders and sports enthusiasts, but this fat burning supplement has also gained favour amongst the less 'hardcore' amongst us.
Lipo 6 is a fat burner and stimulant, which means that its main purpose is to boost your body's metabolism and reduce your appetite.
Product Research
What Is In Lipo 6?
The active ingredients in Nutrex Lipo 6 are:
- Synephrine HCL
- Synthetic 99% Guggulsterones Z&E 1:1
- Yohimbine HCL
- Caffeine Anhydrous USP
- Bioperine
Synephrine HCL is an adrenergic amine, which stimulates the beta-3 receptors in your body. This causes a release of adrenaline and noradrenaline, which in turn boosts energy, suppresses appetite, and increases the metabolic rate causing more calories to be burnt.
Guggulsterones are derived from the plant Commiphora Mukul, or Gum Guggul. Guggulsterones have long been known for their effect on the thyroid gland, one of the most important glands affecting the body's metabolic rate. Recent studies have shown that Guggulsterones also reduce LDL cholesterol and triglycerides - lower levels of which are known to correlate with a decreased risk of heart disease.
The Guggulsterones found in Lipo 6 are a synthetic 99% pure analogue.
Yohimbine HCL is derived from Yohimbe (Pausinystalia yohimbe), a West African evergreen. In Africa yohimbe was traditionally used as an aphrodisiac, and it is still used for that purpose throughout the world today. However, studies have shown that it can also cause significant amounts of fat loss.
Yohimbine is a stimulant, and increases alertness and mental proficiency as well as boosting metabolism and causing increased rates of fat loss.
Caffeine is a central nervous system and metabolic stimulant. It is one of the most widely used stimulants in the world, and has similar mental alertness and metabolism boosting effects as Yohimbine.
Bioperine is a patented component of Piper Nigrum L, which is more commonly known as black pepper. Along with many spicy foods, black pepper is known to boost metabolism and increase the amount of fat burned by your body both during exercise and at rest. The Bioperine compound also helps to moderate insulin levels - insulin level spikes are one of the main causes of weight gain - and enhance the absorption rate of the other active ingredients in Lipo 6.
Does Lipo 6 Work?
Firstly, it is important to note that Lipo 6 is not intended as a long-term weight loss aid. The manufacturer states that Lipo 6 should not be used for longer than 8 weeks. It is used by bodybuilders to cut weight and get that 'ripped' look before a contest, and by regular users to kick-start their weight loss and blast away a decent percentage of fat right at the start. It is far easier to maintain a healthy weight than it is to lose extra pounds, so a helping hand at the start of your diet can be a tremendous benefit.
With that said, how effective is Lipo 6 at providing this initial 'helping hand'?
"As a music teacher, I sit at a piano most of my day and after 5 years of that...my body was a mess. I recently decided to try Lipo-6. I started like 2 weeks ago. I have not changed my diet. I've not added countless hours in the gym. But your product is literally changing my body and life. The fat is melting off!!! I feel better and look better after only 2 weeks. And that change has made me decide to push it to the brink and actually watch what I eat and get to the gym more often. I cannot imagine what people who don't use Lipo-6 feel when they workout. I wonder if other people are getting the same miracle results that I am?"Many users - such as Julian Miller, above - report excellent results using Lipo 6. Many are bodybuilders and athletes, but there are many reports from regular people too, and Julian's was chosen as representative of these. As suspected, the people who got the best results were those who were looking for an initial weight loss boost and followed it up with healthy diet and exercise plans.

Lipo 6 Clinical Trials
Like many weight loss supplements, there are no clinical trials testing the effectiveness of Lipo 6. This is something of a negative point when compared to the diet pills which have been clinically tested, such as Proactol. However, the active ingredients in Lipo 6 have been tested, and these studies give a good indication as to how effective Lipo 6 is.Lipo 6 Conclusions
Need to lose weight fast for an important event? Lipo 6 could be for you. Want a quick boost to your weight loss plans? Lipo 6 could be for you. Want a supplement to help you lose weight and keep it off long-term? Lipo 6 is most definitely not for you.Lipo 6 is a very specific product. It's very powerful, and this is both a pro and a con. You cannot use it long-term as the stimulants it contains are dangerous to health if used for too long. You also have to be careful when using it - you shouldn't consume any other caffeine-containing products at the same time, for instance.
For short-term, results-specific, weight loss Lipo 6 is an excellent product. For anything else, you should look elsewhere, such as the fat binding pill Proactol, which can be taken long-term.
Because of its limited use, and because stimulants can have adverse effects for some people, we cannot award Lipo 6 the full five stars. However, if you're in the specific group of people for whom this is targeted, then Lipo 6 is a five star product.
