Today we take a look at one of the most popular weight loss products on market at the moment to determine whether it actually works or is nothing but marketing hype.
Nutrex Lipo-6 is a range of weight loss capsules that claims to assist in rapid fat-loss with its ground breaking fat burner formula. Instead of creating one product to try and suit all, they have developed different capsules for men and women as well as other more specific body conditions to allow for more targeted technology and therefore faster weight loss.
The product is relatively cheap when compared to other weight loss programs and can be found even cheaper through various online outlets. This is a huge plus. I will talk about this in a little bit, but first onto some more information about the product.
How Does Lipo 6 Work?
Lipo 6 has several key active ingredients that gives it’s claimed fat burner potential.
Synephrine HCL is used to give your body’s norepinephrine levels a boost. When this is consumed before you do your daily exercise (yes, you must still exercise to make this product work to its potential) you body enhances its ability to breakdown fat by making it more accessible during the workout. It is has an added bonus of suppressing your hunger. This makes it ideal for combining with a low calorie diet (for even fast results).
The next ingredient is Yohimbine HCL which is used to make your body start burning its stored fats.
Caffeine is used to increase your body’s ability to work and to boost metabolism which is a well known attributor to weight loss. Please be aware that you will be taking 200ml of caffeine with each dose of Lipo-6. That is about 1.5 cups of coffee so if you are a sensitive to coffee you may have to test your tolerance.
The last active ingredient is Bioperin which is used to start thermogenisis within the body. Its job is to enhance the ability for your body to absorb the other ingredients.
Nutrex don’t make any claims over how long it will take to see results using their products but that isn’t a bad thing. They really try and push home the fact that if you want to see fast results you must also improve your diet and take part in regular exercise.
It isn’t a miracle pill like many other products falsely claim. Lipo-6 is intended to be used as part of a well planned weight loss program.
It is designed to be used in 8 week cycles with a 1 week break in between. The user reviews at the bottom of the page will show what other people have experienced and the time it takes to see results. Use the time to sort out the rest of your lifestyle and you will see the results.
All of the products come in two different bottle sizes, 120 and 240 capsules. This will give you enough to last 30 or 60 days respectively.
The Range of Nutrex Lipo 6 Fat Burner Products
As mentioned earlier, there are quite a few products to choose from. Don’t worry though; the labeling is very clear so it isn’t hard to select the right product for you.
Lipo-6 Black Hers
Lipo-6 Black
This is the most popular product in the series. There is also a Lipo-9 Black Hers, as the name suggests, it is created specifically for women.
Lipo-6X
Lipo-6X with InnerCap Mulit Phase Technology
This is a newer release from Nutrex that uses a very cool inner cap system to release the ingredients in multiple phases. This allows for a more controlled fat burning process to keep the body working a lot longer. It is a great idea and definitely the way forward for these types of products.
There are also Ephedra-free products and a new Lipo-6 Hers range (not the black) that also makes use of the multi phase technology from the 6X to create an all day fat burner product.
Lipo 6 Side Effects
I will get to the user reviews in a moment but I thought it was important to talk about the side effect before getting you all excited about how the product works. Your health should be paramount and there is no point losing weight to improve your health when the product itself may harm it.
The biggest factor that you need to take into account before purchasing Lipo-6 is how your body reacts to caffeine. If you aren’t a regular coffee or tea drinker than the large dose of caffeine may cause you some of the similar side effects such as sleep problems and dehydration. The best way to avoid the lack of sleep is to take your dose early in the morning. This is actually recommended by Nutrex in the first place. If you haven’t had much coffee before than one tip I can give you is to try having a coffee or two a day and see how it affects your body.
The caffeine and other supplements may also give you an increase in blood pressure and heart rate. If you have an existing condition then it is highly recommended you speak to a doctor before proceeding.
Caffeine is also known to give some people headaches to be aware of that too.
Lipo 6 Reviews and Testimonials
So Does Lipo 6 Work? Apart from the effect it will have on your health, the other important thing to consider about a weight loss product is whether it actually does burn fat and help you lose excess fat.
The first big plus for the product is that it has regularly received awards from popular body building site – Bodybuilding.com. These awards are voted by members of the website so are a good indication of what amateur and professional body builders think of the product.
It has received the Fat Loss Product of the Year award for 4 years in a row. It also won the Energy Supplement of the Year award in 2006 and 2007.
I have also collected several user reviews below for you to see what results people who purchased the product experienced. These are the best reviews you can read as they have no influence from Nutrex. All reviews are taken from Amazon.com.
“I’ve gained 20 pounds since June of this year, so I finally cracked down and decided it was time to get back into shape. I had a hard time controlling my appetite and finding the energy to run again.
This product has really helped me with that. I was a little aprehensive about trying it because other weight loss products made me jittery and nauseated. I take the full recommended dosage of Lipo 6 Black Hers and do not experience any jitters or nausea at all. Instead, I feel energetic, alert, and I’ve noticed that both my mood and concentration have improved in the 2 weeks that I’ve been taking the supplement.” – Lipo-6 Black Hers.
“I heard about this product at my gym – they sell it there, but the price on Amazon is better. I decided to try it based on the other online reviews. I bought a bottle and took them conservatively – maybe two pills in the morning and two in the late afternoon, because it warns against taking it with caffeine use, and I can’t give up my morning coffee. It does seem to curve the appetite cravings and speed up weight loss. The only downside is that they seem to give me terrible headaches. I have stopped taking them regularly for this reason. Otherwise, the product certainly seems to be affective.” – Lipo-6 Black Hers.
“I’m normally too tired from waking up early and working all day that by the time I get home I just crash and go to sleep because I have no energy to do anything else. But with Lipo-6 Black it gives me just enough of a boost to where I don’t just want to go right to sleep when I get home, so I can get some exercising done. It’s a very very subtle boost, not a noticeable jolt that will make your heart rate go off the charts just by taking it or anything. It also doesn’t make me feel nauseous at all – even at the maximum recommended dosage, something I can’t say about the past two Lipo6 products. After two months I’ve about gotten rid of the fat I had around my lower abdomen/lovehandles area that I had developed during the last winter food/beer season, so it seemingly works. But I’ve also been running/exercizing daily and eating pretty decently though, you can’t just take it and sit all day eating mcdonalds and expect it to have the same effects.” – Lipo-6 Black.
“I used lipo 6X for around three months and lost about 25 lbs. But this was with eating right and two hours of excersise a day. There is no magic pill. But this helps. The reason i stopped was because i was getting a rapid odd heart beat my third month in. So I figured Id stop. But the mistake i made was not consulting with my doctor when I started. Although i doubt any doctor would recomend these things. I say if your careful and eat, drink and sleep right its good. If you cant handle caffine or other stimulants stay away or talk to your doctor.” - Lipo-6X
