Review
Summary |
Lipovox is advertised as a weight loss supplement that claims to utilize extracts from “super foods” to address weight loss, reduce wrinkles and alleviate acne. These 10 “super foods” appear to have been featured on the Oprah Winfrey show, provoking a wave of consumer interest. This product claims to combine these foods into a single capsule, providing “soft skin!” and a “lean body!” The manufacturer of this product acknowledges that eating whole versions of these foods may be preferable to taking this supplement. However, the company adds, “The only problem is that the 10 super foods are SUPER EXPENSIVE and SUPER INCONVENIENT to eat every day.”
The influence of Oprah Winfrey on today’s culture is far-reaching and powerful, and her recommendations may often initiate a flurry of new products attempting to capitalize on this fact. For this reason, consumers may be advised to be careful in purchasing products that claim to be based on Oprah’s suggestions. Some of these suggestions, though, may offer truly beneficial results. Dieters may wish to note that while trendy “super foods” may come and go, a healthy, balanced diet and quality supplementation will rarely steer them wrong. However, there may be some considerable benefits offered through these unique foods. We will evaluate this product purely on the strength of its ingredients, and the safety of this formulation.

| Ingredients In Focus |
|
While the list of ingredients as a whole appears to be quite beneficial, it is puzzling that the manufacturer opted to include Caffeine in this supplement, since Caffeine is decidedly not one of the “super foods.” The manufacturer claims that Green Tea, which is the source of the Caffeine in this product, is a “super antioxidant.” The product description also states that Green Tea also includes L-Theanine, which is said to “relax you and relieve stress.”
Caffeine is said to worsen acne, which is one of the conditions this product is advertised to alleviate, but this may not always be the case. Caffeine may also cause various side effects, such as rapid heartbeat, anxiety, nausea and insomnia for some. On the other hand, Caffeine has been shown to cause absolutely no effect in some individuals, so these concerns may be minimal. Additionally, the amount of Caffeine found in Green Tea is very small, so there may be even less chance of adverse effects.

| Customer Feedback |
|
On an online discussion board, consumers seemed to have varied comments about this product. One consumer discussed adverse effects experienced by his wife: “She said that she is having stomach cramps for the whole week.” Consumers should keep in mind, however, that this is only one example of a single consumer’s reaction; not all customers of this product may have seen such negative effects.

| Final Thoughts |
We appreciate that this product attempts to address many of the problems consumers suffer from, in a formula that contains natural concentrates. However, we do not feel that the official website demonstrates the professionalism this company may offer its customers.
While this product may offer some nutritional benefits, we recommend looking at other supplements that contain modern ingredients, such as Hoodia for appetite suppression and Advantra-Z, the patented bitter orange extract, for increasing energy levels in conjunction with Lipovox. Such combinations have been shown to be extremely effective for fat burning. The “super foods” mentioned on Oprah seem to be showing increasing promise, so Lipovox may still be a reasonable solution for some individuals looking to lose weight and gain nutritional intake without spending a fortune on expensive whole foods.
