To date, fat burner supplements are rapidly gaining popularity among professional athletes and people far from sports and fitness. In the Western and Russian sports nutrition market, there are plenty of products capable of combating subcutaneous fat. Each manufacturer praises their product and promises to rid us of fat tissue in the shortest possible time through innovative mechanisms of action and various components included in the composition.

We will examine the Lipo 6 supplement from Nutrex, which was named the best energy and fat burner of the year in 2006. We will try to understand what makes this product unique and how effective it is. We will also compare it with other fat burners in the Lipo 6 series, namely: Lipo 6X, Lipo 6 Black, Lipo 6 Unlimited, Lipo 6 Hers.

Lipo 6 Composition per Serving

Synephrine (concentration 20mg). The main component that helps fight subcutaneous fat. It participates in the oxidation of fats to release energy. It also suppresses appetite, which is necessary during a low-carbohydrate diet. Moreover, it does not disrupt heart rhythm and does not raise blood pressure.

Guggulsterones (concentration 20mg) – these are biologically active substances of plant origin. They accelerate metabolism due to the active production of thyroid hormones (triiodothyronine). An important role of this substance is to maintain low cholesterol levels.

Yohimbine Hydrochloride (HCL 3mg) – this substance of plant origin is included in almost any fat burner. It is a very accessible component that can even be purchased at a pharmacy. It stimulates the central nervous system, improves coordination, mental and physical abilities, and enhances male libido.

Anhydrous Caffeine (concentration 200mg) – this is a universal means for weight loss and more. Many athletes use caffeine before training to improve intensity. Caffeine stimulates the nervous system, enhances nerve conduction. Most importantly, it speeds up metabolism, allowing for the elimination of subcutaneous fat.

Bioperine (concentration 5mg) – this component is based on black pepper. It is an excellent antioxidant. It normalizes insulin levels and, combined with other components of Lipo 6, enhances the effect of the product.

The auxiliary substances include: oleic acid, gelatin, purified water.

Effectiveness and Properties of the Product

The product was rightly named the best fat burner of the year in the aforementioned 2006.

1. Nutrex was the first to successfully combine liquid and dry components in one capsule, contributing to prolonged fat burning. Unlike "lipotropics," this fat burner has pronounced thermogenic properties (a slight increase in body temperature).

2. It is excellent for women.

3. It suppresses appetite with the help of synephrine.

4. During the drying phase, it will be useful as a CNS stimulating preparation that provides energy before training.

5. The components of the product are selected to accelerate fat oxidation and reduce appetite during a calorie deficit of consumed calories.

6. The combination of lipotropic (fat breakdown) and thermogenic properties of the supplement makes it effective against cardio loads while following a diet.

The main thing to understand is that no fat burner can eliminate subcutaneous fat on a high-calorie diet. Therefore, the expected effect from taking Lipo-6 is only possible on a low-carbohydrate diet.

Dosages

The recommended dose is 2 capsules in the morning and 2 capsules in the afternoon before meals or before training. The supplement may cause some side effects. Therefore, it is advisable to start with 2 capsules per day (1 in the morning before breakfast and 1 in the afternoon before meals). You can then add one capsule on subsequent days, up to a maximum of 4 capsules per day. This scheme will allow you to monitor how the supplement works and analyze the body's reaction to its components. The supplement should not be taken within 6 hours of bedtime. Do not exceed the recommended dosages.

Side Effects and Contraindications

The product is not intended for use by individuals under 18 years of age or women who are breastfeeding. If you have conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, arrhythmias, or kidney diseases, be sure to consult a doctor before use. If you experience discomfort such as headaches or arrhythmias during use, discontinue the supplement for 14 days.

Comparison with Other Products in This Series

Lipo 6 X

This supplement is a continuation of the legendary fat burner. In 2009, the product was recognized as the best thermogenic agent for eliminating subcutaneous fat. What does Nutrex offer us in this product?

The manufacturer proposes a new multifaceted mechanism of action of the components, which works for a prolonged period, ensuring an almost continuous process of fat oxidation. This was made possible by the addition of phenylethylamine. The capsule coating is made from bioavailable components that speed up the absorption process. The supplement has become slightly more expensive, but it is also more effective than its predecessor.

Lipo 6 Hers

From the name, it is clear that the company has created a fat burner for women. Some components, such as guggulsterones, have been removed from the formula. The caffeine concentration has been reduced. The impact on the endocrine system has become minimal. The company's marketers claim that the supplement can combat cellulite. However, cellulite occurs as a result of an inflammatory process, so this is an exaggeration.

Lipo 6 Black

This supplement differs from its predecessors in that it contains yohimbine hydrochloride (HCL) in three forms, making it more effective. Additionally, the formula includes two forms of tyronines to accelerate metabolism. It has undoubtedly become more effective but is also almost 1.5 times more expensive.

Lipo 6 Unlimited

The name "Unlimited" implies use without restrictions. Regarding composition and action, the marketers promise limitless effects of the product. There have not been significant changes in the ingredients. Guggulsterones have been removed, and tyronines have been added. According to the manufacturer, it has become completely harmless with no contraindications. However, I still recommend approaching its use cautiously and starting with small doses. The original formulation, like that of Lipo 6, has been retained, but the price has noticeably increased.

Do not chase novelty, as a new product is not always more effective than an old one. I recommend using Lipo 6 or Lipo 6X. Good luck!
