Maybe I can help you abit with this. These are the ingredients from this product:

Dosage Per Pill. Recommends max of 2 pills a day.

Caffeine 300mg
Coleus Forskohlii 40% 25mg
Synephrine HCL 20mg
Yohimbine HCL 5mg
Chromium Picolinate 200mcg

Thermosynergistic Blend 200
L-Tyrosine, White Willow Extract (Standarized 15% Salicin), N Acetyl L-Carnitine Di Methyl Amino Ethanol, Ginger Root Powder 3,3'4',7-Tetrahydroxyflavone 10%

So let me make sense of all this.

Yohimbine- is a is a selective competitive alpha 2 adrenergic receptor antagonist. So adrenaline and noradrenaline should increase in the body. Those 2 compounds may assist in fat loss. Also yohimbine raises blood pressure, so this may be a factor for you. Dosage is person dependant, I've seen anywhere from 5mg to 35mg. I would not go over 20mg, the dosage of this product would give you 10mg a day. Which may or maynot be enough for you.

Forskohlii- this raises cAMP causing these effects :Inhibition of mast cell degranulation and histamine release. Increased force of contraction of heart muscle. Relaxation of the arteries and other smooth muscle. Increased insulin secretion. Increased thyroid function. Increased lipolysis (breakdown of fat). Dosages I have seen are 50gm-500mg per day. There was a study on overweight women whom used this compound @ 500mg per day for 8 weeks and saw significant lose in fat and an increase in lean body mass. For this product you would get 50mg per day, I think this is abit under dosed.

Synephrine- similar to ephedrine. This also raises adrenaline and noradrenaline, assisting in the break down of fat. Synephrine is different from ephedrine in that it claims not to increase blood pressure, which is a good thing since yohimbine is in this product. Dosage use of synephrine is typically 20-50mg. This product would have 50mg of synephrine, looks good to me.

Caffeine- well this increases energy by keeping cyclic AMP active in the body. So caffine binds to the receptor and cAMP keeps floating around burning up energy. Dose of caffine, 250mg and up. With drinknig coffee, pop and tea, well its tough to give a max dosage, depends how sensitive you are to caffiene. This product has 600mg of caffiene and that should be ok.

Chromium Picolinate- this contains chromium, chromium is used to build insulin, insulin regulates your blood sugar levels. So this will assist you in using up those sugars in you body. Dosage for this is 50-300mcg. This contains 400mcg so that would be a nice dose.

Thermosynergistic Blend 200- this is just a blend of extras, anti oxidants, herbals that make you feel generally better. Since I can't see the exact dose's of the compunds in this, its tough to tell if something is under doses or over doses. So this group will have a marginal effect.

So I hope that helps, overall it looks like a decent product, with a calorie defficient diet I'm sure it would assist you in losing some fat. If you got any questions feel free to post again or PM me.

Other then that. How did you get ahold of this product? Yohimbine is a controlled substance in Canada.

Wow! Thank-you so much. I am impressed! Are you by any chance a chemist or something smart? You seem to definately know your stuff!
& I got this product from a certain place. That's weird they would have it just out on the shelves for anyone to buy if there's a controlled substance in it. Guess I got lucky, hehe.
Thanks a bunch again, that was very helpful indeed! And I will update in the future as to whether or not this product actually worked.

OH! Another question here for ya...
Would you recommend stacking with this product? If so, what product(s) would you suggest would go good with Lipex2? Maybe something with Forskohlii in it, so I get a bit more??

Thanks again!

This is just what I study, and my work is somewhat related to it, abit more on the clinical side though. that place can be a great store, each one usually caries different products and you never know what your going to find in there.

If you can find some Forskohlii on its own and if its cheap enough, it could be a good idea to get abit more, I wouldn't be willing to pay more then $15 for plain Forskohlii though.

Other things you could stack with that, you could look into CLA and sesamin oil. Those two should be fairly cheap to pick up, they are both fats that can aid with lean muscle and fat loss. They are dosed about 1000mg-3000mg per day. These two won't cause as much as an impact as the Lipex 2, but they would help out.

Just make sure to stick to your diet and training and you should get some good results. Also, while taking the Lipex 2 you should avoid anything containing ephedrine in it. Since you are already taking caffiene and yohimbine your blood pressure will be raised and adding anything that raises blood pressure to the mix may push it past healthy limits.

Good luck with it though and give us an update to how it went. If you got any other questions I'll try to answer them to the best of my ability, and if I can't I can give you information and you can make a decision from there on.

In response to your observations about lipex 2's content of forsholi... I checked with the manufacturer.... It is in fact more active forskolin than you will find in 500 mg of herb... It is in fact a 40% extract. Which means it contains about 10 mg of active forskolin. Since forskoli herb only contains about 1% natural forskolin this would make it equivalent to about 1000 mg of herb.... Also regarding yohimbe... 5mg was chosen do to tolerance. Most woman in particular and men do not tolerate more than 5 mgs. It is also by far the best value and strongest product in it's class. Almost every other single manufacturer does not put forskolin in because it is the single most expensive ingredient. they also split their yohimbe and all other ingredients up into a three cap dose. Lipex is an incredible value when you look at the facts. I have been buying the "other" products for years and simply got tired of taking 3 caps each time and going through a bottle in 20 odd days...now I buy lipex for the same price and I get about two months out of it. It is a better fat burner to boot.... In my opinion your wasting your money buying anything else.... compare the actual facts and prepare your argument...
