Lipozene reviews?

Well, after my last post on supplements and skepticism, I came across another one.  I think I'll take a moment to go through the claims and faulty reasoning in some of the FAQ on this one.  I became curious after reading some lipozene reviews, so I figured I look and see if lipozene really existed.  It does, and here is what I found on the site, with my commentary.


LIPOZENE AND METABO UP FAQ

ARE LIPOZENE AND METABO UP DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS  NATURAL?
Lipozene® and METABO UP® are 100% natural.


Of course they are, or they'd have to be evaluated by the FDA and reported as mostly useless. 
For comparison, bird crap and arsenic are ALSO 100% natural, but I'm not gonna mix them in
 my latte.


ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS TO LIPOZENE AND METABO UP?
There are no known side effects if taking Lipozene® or METABO UP® as directed.

Of course, that's because there are probably NO effects. 

WHAT IS IN THE LIPOZENE WEIGHT LOSS SUPPLEMENT AND METABO UP
TABLETS?
Lipozene® weight loss supplement contains Glucomannan, a 100% natural fiber from the Konjac
 Root.
METABO UP® contains Green Tea, Kola-nut, and Vitamins B6 and B12.

There is also natural fiber in oatmeal, and any other plant food we eat.  Green tea works on
your metabolism  with *gasp* caffeine!!! The reason green tea is better than cooked tea?  The
preparation breaks down some of the caffeine in normal tea.  This is likely similar to the reason
 that espresso has LESS caffeine than drip coffee.  Kola nuts are also a notorious source of
caffeine.


HOW DOES LIPOZENE AND METABO UP WORK?
Lipozene® creates a dietary fiber sponge that makes you feel full, thus reducing caloric intake
and adding fiber to your diet.

METABO UP® contains Green Tea, which is proven to increase your metabolism safely so
you burn more calories. 

See above note.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIPOZENE® AND LIPOZINE?
Lipozene® is the weight loss supplement which helps reduce body fat. "Lipozine" is a common
misspelling. As Lipozene® grows in popularity, the popularity of its alternative spellings increase.

I wonder if this also makes them less liable for you taking their pills with no results?
CAN YOU TAKE LIPOZENE AND METABO UP WITH MEDICATIONS?
Lipozene® is 100% natural; however, we recommend you consult your health care provider
before beginning any weight loss program and if you are taking prescription medications at
the time, you advise your physician before taking any weight loss supplement, including
Lipozene®.


And hopefully your health care provider will tell you you're a jackass for wasting your money. 
This is likely just to keep people from filing suits that they can't win on account of the fact
that there are probably NO effects, never mind harmful ones, but will result in bad press
for the company.


CAN YOU TAKE LIPOZENE AND METABO UP IF YOU ARE PREGNANT?
If you are pregnant or lactating, do not take Lipozene and Metabo Up.

After all, bad production methods or even mistakes can turn a benign placebo into a toxic
mess, and who wants the life or health of child on their hands?  Just ask China...


HOW MUCH WEIGHT WILL I LOSE?
Weight loss varies depending on each individual, but Lipozene® guarantees you will lose
 weight and body fat, or your money back!

Due to certain factors such as awareness of what you're eating while dieting, likely
combined with at least a little more exercise than you're used to, and all the water
they recommend you drink plus the little bit of caffeine in the pills, you ought to
lose a little weight.  This gives them the "out" that you lost "something" so they are
 off the hook when you call to complain.


DOES LIPOZENE® HAVE AN EXPIRATION DATE?
Lipozene has a shelf life of 2 years. You will find the expiration date stamped on the bottle.

DOES METABO UP® HAVE AN EXPIRATION DATE?
Metabo Up tablets have a shelf life of 2 years. You will find the expiration date stamped
on the bottle.

I'm not positive if I'm reassured that it has an expiration date, disturbed that it's 2 years
compared to the few months that most of the real medication I've seen.

WHERE IS LIPOZENE® MANUFACTURED?
Lipozene is manufactured in the U.S.A.

WHERE IS METABO UP® MANUFACTURED?
Metabo Up tablets are manufactured in the U.S.A.

I can think of better ways to support US jobs.

HOW DO I TAKE LIPOZENE® WEIGHT LOSS SUPPLEMENTS? 
It is safe to take Lipozene® up to 2 capsules, 3 times a day before each meal, for a total
daily maximum dosage of 6 capsules.

Based on clinical studies, recommended dosage for optimum results is daily
maximum dosage of 6 capsules per day.

 

 
One capsule with an 8 oz glass of water before each meal is the dosage
recommended for people who need to lose a few pounds. However, for people who
wish to lose more weight in less time – 2 capsules can be taken at one time, 30
minutes before each meal. 
 
For one 60 count bottle of Lipozene® ...
 
If taking 1 capsule twice a day, 30-day supply has been provided.
If taking 2 capsules twice a day, 15-day supply has been provided.
If taking 2 capsules three times a day, 10-day supply has been provided.
 
The recommended dosage on the label is intended for people who want to lose
the most amount of weight in the shortest amount of time! Make sure to drink
plenty of water and take your Lipozene® with at least an 8 oz glass of water,
at least 30 minutes before each meal. 
 

Of course it is.  Or was that optimum results for the company?  Again, you'll
be consuming more caffeine, likely working out a little harder, and peeing a
lot more.  Caffeine will help with that.  Or maybe it's because you'll eat less
after drinking all that water 30 minutes before you eat.  Lots of common
sense there without bothering with the pills.  Save your money for
wholesome food and gym membership.
