I read the first 2 sentences on the lawsuit and I think it is astonishing how people LOOK for a quick dollar to sue for a stupid reason. They claim that this product does not have ingredients to aid in weight loss, aging, acne, etc….

Well…..if those people Would have read about this product Just as I did than they would understand that what this product is, is the foods that our body needs to function healthily. A surfer, as I understand, got with a Dr to put all the foods into a pill form as eating all the food said we need is expensive and a hassle to buy and to find time to eat all of it everyday. So they came up with a pill form.

Lipovox DID in fact clear up my acne. I had some hormonal acne and it really made my skin clear and vibrant. I use high end cleansers and skin care. Mix of Estee Lauder, Elemis and La’Therapie. So I take very good care of my skin but i was obviously off somewhere and Lipovox clearly worked.

Now i also knew if it was clearing up my skin, DUE SOLELY on it containing the foods we need, than I also knew it was healthy for me.

It’s food combined people, not a prescription diet pill.

And we should all know if we eat right, again by taking this supplement, than that helps aid
in taking on the aging process.

So this class action suit is hideous! Just ridiculous!!!

Editor’s comments: Actually, you’re incorrect – there is absolutely NO clinical evidence this product helps with weight loss, anti-aging or anything at all. Your experience with the product is anecdotal, and does not constitute evidence. Additionally, the makers of Lipovox have an “F” rating with the Better Business Bureau and a long history of nefarious business tactics.

We also began running and eating better at the same time. After two weeks on the product, we have had zero weight loss. Today is my first day not taking it in two weeks, and I feel much better than I have in a while.

My experience with this product was that it did not do what it claimed, weight loss or skin condition, and that it made me have mild headaches constantly and caused my stomach to cramp. The stomach pain was the last straw and I have decided to try to get my money back.

Dont be fooled by this product. The reviews are more than likely fake on most of the websites, the ingredients are listed but not in quantity, there are no before/ after pictures, and no studies to prove weight loss.

Not to say that you will not experience weight loss with this product, but we did not. We may possibly be out 75 dollars, so I wanted to share this with you all, and hopefully you will not make the same mistakes.

Ultimately, diet and exercise are the most effective ways to lose weight, and there is no such thing as a MIRACLE PILL.

Editor’s comments: Amen, Brad.

The pills are making me break out like crazy, its funny because I had NO acne and now im looking more and more like I did when I was a teenager. I really think I’ll stop using it after I’m done with the bottle. I’m focusing on my body right now and after that’s done I’ll focus on the face I guess.

In a 12-week double-blind, placebo-controlled study, subjects taking green tea extract lost, on average, significantly more bodyfat than those taking a placebo (5.07 vs. 1.10 lbs.) (more than 400%). (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. 1999 Dec;70(6):1040-5)(Am J Clin Nutr; 81:122-129)

So I guess I’m just confused because if you actually researched this product wouldn’t the first thing to do be to look through the actual website?

Editor’s comments: Erica, obviously you didn’t check out the referenced studies (you can view them online here and here).

If you had, you would have seen that Lipovox was NOT in a clinical study. These studies are ones performed on green tea and its essential catechins. If you had read our review, you would be aware that our argument against Lipovox is not that it does not contain some worthwhile ingredients. Our argument is that no clinical studies have been performed on Lipovox, its benefits are extremely exaggerated, and the retailers do not reveal the amount of the various ingredients.

For example, Lipovox contains green tea, which has been shown in numerous studies to be beneficial for weight loss. But how much does it contain exactly? The first study was performed with 90 mg EGCG and 50 mg caffeine 3 times per day. The second study you referenced used 690 mg of tea catechins. Does Lipovox contain that much?

It’s highly unlikely. Last we checked, Lipovox contained 14 ingredients. And here’s the problem; all these ingredients need to be present in optimal doses to elicit any effect. There’s not enough room in 3 small capsules to do that. That means most of these ingredients are under-dosed and serve as “label-dressing.”

Second, if you had reviewed the first study, you’d have seen that on average, the amount the green tea/caffeine elevated the metabolism was 4%. That may sound like a lot, but it’s about 100 calories for so for the average individual. Helpful, but not particularly so – the benefits are exaggerated.

Erica, we highly you recommend you download and read our “Dirty Rotten Tricks” publication (it’s free). In it, you’ll learn about all the dirty tricks supplement retailers pull to get you to purchase – this includes quoting clinical studies out of context, or even fabricating them altogether.

I’m 64 years old and was gaining weight after menopause. My appetite seemed out of control.

So, I tried Lipovox. After taking it in the AM before eating, everything was fine until the evening, around 7PM. At that time I began having intestinal cramping, intestinal gas and running to the toilet with diarrhea. At one point, with diarrhea coming out of one end, I was vomiting out the contents of my stomach in the nearby bathroom trash can. I was smart and decided to begin Lipovox on a weekend, when I’m in the comfort of my own home and own toilet facilities. After this episode with Lipovox, I know I have to stop taking it because there is no way I can go to work at an outside job with intestinal cramping, gas, diarrhea and vomiting.

I do not believe that anyone in their right mind would continue taking a product if they experienced those side effects, especially when they also have to work outside job.

Editor’s comments: Edith, just for clarification, Oprah did do several shows on “superfoods.” But she did not endorse Lipovox, nor to our knowledge, any pill that claims to offer all the benefits of these superfoods in one convenient package.
