Questions
I’d like to lose some weight, and I’m thinking about trying a diet pill called Lipovarin. Can you tell me if it really works?
Answer
There’s no evidence that Lipovarin — a popular, nonprescription diet pill — promotes weight loss. In fact, this product may actually pose serious health risks.
Lipovarin contains the ingredient synephrine. Synephrine is a stimulant similar to ephedrine, which is found in the herb ephedra. Although safety concerns prompted the removal of ephedra products from the U.S. market a number of years ago, the risks are still present. Many manufacturers simply substitute synephrine in products that used to contain ephedra. These products, including Lipovarin, likely have the same serious health risks as ephedra products — including seizure, stroke and heart attack. Continue Reading »

Do diet pills rally work?………
The answer is yes. But there’s some scary (and, um, unsavory) info in the fine print. REDBOOK tells you what you must know about the new weight-loss drugs.
Diet drugs have come a long way since the addictive amphetamines of the 1950s. And while each new generation of skinny pills has so far proven more dangerous than effective — remember fen-phen and ephedra? — experts continue their search for a safe diet pill that
works. Enter Alli, a new formulation proven to block dietary fat absorption; as of this month, it will be available at your local drugstore, no prescription required. Also on the horizon: the awaited FDA approval of Zimulti, a new prescription pill that not only promises to help slim you down but also improve cholesterol.

I heard only good things about Orovo recently. That’s when I really became interested in this product and did a little research. After reading the comments others made I wasn’t too impress at all. It seem it was just another company trying to make a quick buck. Based on the results from those who tried it and commented it was suggested that you keep your hard earn money. It is seen as nothing more than a hype.
