Lipovarin is made by Sterling-Grant Laboratories.
It is not entirely clear what exactly is contained in Lipovarin. Different Web sites for the product list different active ingredients -- the reason why is unknown. Lipovarin contains the following active ingredients:
- Metabromine fruit extract (also know as just plain cocoa or chocolate)
- Citrus aurantium (bitter orange)
- Green tea leaf extract
- Serotain™, a product that contains 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)
- Caffeine
- Taurine (an amino acid)
- L-carnitine L-tartrate
- 7-Keto (7-keto-dehydroepiandrosterone acetate)
Depending on the source, Lipovarin also may (or may not) contain the following ingredients:
- Rhodiola rosea
- Coleus forskohlii
- Coral calcium
- Glucuronolactone.
It is not clear why there does not seem to be a consensus on the active ingredients in Lipovarin. Perhaps the manufacturer has changed the formulation.
