Ingredients & doses
| Ingredient | Dose | Pathway | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glucomannan (konjac root fiber) | 1500 mg | Fiber satiety (fullness) | Per 2-capsule serving (up to 3 servings/day), taken with 8 oz water before meals. |
How it claims to work
A single-ingredient glucomannan capsule. The soluble fiber absorbs water and expands in the stomach to promote fullness; non-stimulant and caffeine-free.
The evidence
Glucomannan has some human support for modest satiety when taken before meals with water, but results are mixed and Lipozene’s marketing has drawn FTC scrutiny historically. Evidence is for the fiber generally, not this brand.
Strengths
- Single, disclosed ingredient.
- Inexpensive per serving.
- Caffeine-free.
Watch-outs
- One pathway only (fiber satiety).
- Must be taken with a full glass of water; expanding fiber carries a choking/blockage risk if not.
- Brand has a history of FTC scrutiny over marketing claims.
