LIPOZENE DIET PILLS (The Obesity Research Institute, LLC)
The makers of this diet pill claim that anyone can lose weight by popping a few pills a day. No
dieting or exercise is required. Their advertisements are all over the TV and other media.
First let's look at the packaging. Doesn't it look like a real prescription medication in this official
looking box?
Here is a box of a real drug called Avastin for comparison.
What about the name "Lipozene"? That sure sounds like a name that the medical community
would give a pill. Even the 1500mg on the box seems to make this look like one of the big drug
companies made this.
Well I have some bad news for you if you wasted your money on this product. Lipozene is
nothing more than a glorified, overpriced fiber pill. You take a pill 30 minutes to an hour before
your meal with eight ounces of water. The fiber is supposed to "fill you up" so you eat less.
The actual makers of the pill are Henry Den Uijil and Bryan Corlett. They first got noticed when the
FTC fined these two crooks $1.5 million for misleading claims about their other fiber weight loss
products called Fiber Thin and Propolene. The main ingredient in those products were the same
as Lipozene.
Now it gets even better. They claim Lipozene is "scientifically proven" through studies which
were conducted by The Obesity Research Institute. Have you guessed what's next? Yes, they are
the owners of The Obesity Research Institute. Oh, also they refuse to release any information
concerning these studies.
Glucomannan is the main ingredient in these pills which is also a very strong laxative. It also does
not dissolve in water, but forms a thick, gooey gel when exposed to fluids. The body does not
digest glucomannan so if you don't drink enough water when you take these pills you could
cause choking, throat swelling and even possible suffocation.
My question is why does the FTC allow these con men to continue to operate?
For misleading advertisements and scamming consumers, I would like to welcome The Obesity
Research Institute and their diet drug ripoff Lipozene to my list of businesses that belong below.
