Lipovarin Diet Pills
Lipovarin™ is an herbal supplement that is claimed to help with weight loss. It contains a variety of different active ingredients, including caffeine, green tea leaf extract, and bitter orange. Even though the packaging is designed to make it seem like Lipovarin is a prescription drug (the packaging even has a "generic" name), Lipovarin is a simply a supplement -- this means it is not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Clinical research on Lipovarin products is lacking, so very little is known about whether they are effective. There is also little information available on side effects. Based on reactions reported with the individual active ingredients, a few of the possible side effects include:
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Rapid heart rate (tachycardia)
- Heart attack
- Stroke.
