Lipozene False Advertising Class Action Lawsuit
By Mike Holter
“In reality, Lipozene’s main ingredient, Glucomannan, is simply a water-soluble dietary fiber with no ability to cause weight loss or the reduction of body fat. Defendant’s statements about the Product’s efficacy are false and misleading, and the research relied upon by Defendant does not substantiate its claims,” the Lipozene class action lawsuit states.
The false advertising lawsuit cites several studies that conclude Glucomannan has no effect on weight loss when compared to a placebo, and that it would take 20 to 30 grams of Glucomannan a day to achieve substantial weight loss, “enough to cause severe diarrhea and other gastrointestinal distress.”
The Lipozene class action lawsuit is seeking $5 million in damages and restitution for a class of all U.S. persons who purchased Lipozene from a retail location in California or online at any time after April 1, 2011 through the date of trial.

I also purchased this weight loss products and never lost a pound in fact I gained some weigh smh. Wasted money
I had gained 10 lbs taking Lipozene. According to their customer service representative he told me 10% of people will actually gain weight as I did, but nothing warned the public about weight gain!
I purchased my non effective Lipozene from the Banner health OTC website.
I thought if they are ok to list then it must work. Imagine my surprise to see Lipozene is in a lawsuit for false advertisement.
Yeah I took the product I paid $40 for it and it didn’t do me any good it had no effect on me I still weigh 280 lb and I’m 6 ft 2
