Lipozene®

As seen on TV… Lipozene® is advertised as “clinically proven to reduce body fat”. Lipozene® is a supplement of a fiber called glucomannan. (“glue-KO-man-an”)

Does it work?

Yes, 3 pounds of body fat lost in 8 weeks.

How does it work?

When taken with water, the glucomannan fiber can swell up to become up to 17 times bigger. This make you feel full so you eat less.

Because glucomannan is a soluble fiber it also lowers cholesterol and may reduce blood sugar as well. It also helps prevent constipation and supports the healthy bacteria in your intestines.

The cost?

Lipozene® costs $90 a month if you take the clinically tested dose of 2 a meal. For good quality glucomannan at a lower price see brands by Nature’s Way, NOW, or swansonvitamins.com

Usual Amount: 1,000 mg (1 gram) glucomannan with a glass of water 60 minutes before each meal.

Cautions?

• Glucomannan in capsule form is very safe.

• Must take with water.

• May bind up vitamins so take a daily multi-vitamin while on it.

• May bind with medications, like sulfonylureas for diabetes.

• Don’t expect miracles, 3 lbs of fat lost in 8 weeks, that’s it.
