Short answer: Lipozene is made from fiber, which has been correlated with lower body weight; however, the supplement won’t singlehandedly cause mass weight loss. If taken in conjunction with diet and exercise, it will potentially be beneficial.
Longer answer: Lipozene is made from the fiber, glucomannan, of the konjac plant. Glucomannan is known for its powerful absorption properties; it is said that a single capsule can turn a glass of water into gel. Fiber are molecules that are not broken down by the enzymes in our mouths and stomachs; they are transported to the colon where they are excreted. The theory behind Lipozene is that a highly absorbent fiber would induce a feeling of fullness for an extended period of time, hopefully deterring any desire to consume more food. However, multiple studies have shown that the relationship between fiber and weight loss isn’t as clear cut. Oftentimes the studies did not produce statistically significant results that showed a clear connection between fiber intake and food intake. This suggests that fiber is important for digestive and physical health, but it is not a miracle pill that provides an immediate solution to a weight problem. A balanced diet and plenty of exercise are the most straightforward ways to shed pounds and live a healthy life.
