Lipoxinol Review: Does Lipoxinol Really Work?

by Peter Bracato

Lipoxinol is one of the most popular weight loss products to hit the market recently, probably because it was positively featured on a popular TV news magazine show.

Is Lipoxinol really that good? Can it work for you? Let us take a close look at the Lipoxinol formula (its base of ingredients) in an attempt to answer these questions.

Lipoxinol claims to effectively fight fat via a triple-layered mechanism of action. Why is this important? To utilize a three layered mechanism of action is a more complete, as well as safe and effective approach to weight loss due to the complementary nature of the formulation. Lipoxinol’s formulation includes ingredients that function on one of three levels, including: appetite controlling function, a thermogenic function, and a powerful thyroid-boosting function. This three-fold approach is something you definitely do not see in an everyday weight loss product. Let us take a look at each ingredient in the Lipoxinol formulation:

1) Fiberzide™ is the proprietary blend of the soluble fiber glucomannan and xanthan gum (caffeine extract). These two powerful elements lead to weight loss by synergistically working to suppress appetite and provide a feeling of satiety or fullness.

2) Thermazene™ is a catalyst blend of thermogenic ingredients in the Lipoxinol formula including Green tea, Caffeine, and Forslean:

a) Green Tea has been shown in many quality form studies to increase metabolism leading to fat loss and weight loss. It has the potential to effectively increase one's metabolism by as much as 4-6% to achieve desired results.

b) Caffeine, works by speeding up the metabolism. Caffeine breaks down fat freeing fatty acids which are immediately burned. Conversion of fat to energy is about 30 percent more efficient when caffeine is consumed prior to exercise.

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (November 1999) published the results of a study performed at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. Researchers found that their test study group who were given a combination of Green Tea extract and Caffeine burned more calories than those given only caffeine or a placebo.

c) Forslean is an extract derived from the roots of the plant Coleus forskohlii, which is native to warm temperate habitats including India. Coleus forskohlii is the only known plant source of forskolin, a natural compound that has been shown to increase lean body mass and help optimize body composition.

3) Vinpocetine is a semi-synthetic derivative of vincamine. Vincamine is an alkaloid derived from the plant Vinca minor L., a member of the periwinkle family. Vinpocetine, as well as vincamine, are used in Europe, Japan and Mexico as pharmaceutical agents for the treatment of cerebrovascular and cognitive disorders. In the United States, vinpocetine is marketed as a dietary supplement.

4) Bioperine is a patented extract of the black pepper and long pepper berries harvested in India. Bioperine's value is that it has been established to enhance the bioavailability of certain supplements through increased absorption. In other words, when combined with Bioperine, numerous vitamins, minerals, amino acids and anti- oxidants are more efficiently absorbed and utilized in the body.

5) Thyrotrem™ is the assigned name of the proprietary blend of thyroid boosting components in the Lipoxinol formula (Guggulsterones, Sclareolide and Kelp). Thyrotrem™ represents one of the most powerful synergistic blends that can be found in any weight loss product:

a) Guggulsterones have been shown in studies to reduce cholesterol levels, and increase thyroid hormone levels, thus greatly increasing fat loss. It has also been shown to improve acne conditions,

b) Sclareolide is a patented extract from the Clary Sage plant, which has been shown to increase thyroid hormone production. This increased production of thyroid hormone results in an increase in metabolism. In addition, sclareolide has been shown to help build lean body mass while reducing body fat.

c) Kelp is an especially good source of iodine, which is essential for thyroid function.

After thoroughly reviewing the Lipoxinol formulation I have to admit it is a great weight loss formula. I would definitely recommend this product due to its three layered approach to weight loss. It’s a winner.
