Marketing Claims Vs. Reality
Clinically proven: helps reduce weight.
The label cites no study. Independent evidence is mixed at best: a 2014 meta-analysis of eight randomized trials found no statistically significant weight loss from glucomannan (Onakpoya), and a 2013 trial found none versus placebo (Keithley).
78% of each pound lost was pure body fat.
The listing attributes this to two company studies and gives no citation; the 2013 independent trial found no change in body composition.
1500 mg per serving.
The panel declares a 1,500 mg proprietary blend of Amorphophallus konjac per two capsules.
What Our Test Actually Found
It is glucomannan, sold as something more
The only active on the panel is konjac root. That is the same fiber as every other product on this list, in a blue capsule, at more than double the price per gram of NOW's.
Good schedule, heavy capsule
Two capsules before each meal with a full glass of water is how the trials dosed, and the warning is all there. The capsule itself adds titanium dioxide and an artificial dye that none of the plain fiber brands use.

- Before-each-meal schedule printed
- Complete choking warning
- Two capsules per serving
- Widely available
- Highest price per gram on the list
- Artificial color and titanium dioxide
- No testing statement
- 'Clinically proven' claim not backed by the pooled trials
- You want the before-each-meal schedule printed on the box
- You prefer two capsules a serving
- Brand familiarity matters to you
- You want value; NOW costs less than half per gram
- You avoid artificial colors or titanium dioxide
- You want a testing statement on the label
Lipozene is glucomannan with a television budget. Its dosing schedule is good and its warning is complete, which is why it does not score lower. But you pay about fifty-five cents for 1,500 mg, the capsule carries an artificial dye and titanium dioxide, nothing on the label speaks to testing, and the claim on the front goes beyond what the independent trials found.
Strip away the marketing and Lipozene's Supplement Facts panel lists one active: a 1,500 mg proprietary blend of Amorphophallus konjac, the plant glucomannan comes from, per two capsules. The directions are, to its credit, the closest on this list to the trial schedule: two capsules 30 minutes before meals, up to three times per day, with at least 8 oz. of water, and the full choking warning is printed. Then the rest: gelatin, titanium dioxide, magnesium silicate and artificial color FD&C Blue #1, no testing statement, and a front label that says clinically proven to reduce weight and body fat.
The same fiber, a bigger promise, a bigger bill
Lipozene is not a scam ingredient; it is ordinary glucomannan with good directions. It is an expensive way to buy it, in a capsule with additives the others avoid, behind a claim the independent evidence does not support. Buy NOW and follow Lipozene's schedule.
If This Doesn’t Fit — Try These
01NOW Foods 575 mg
If you want to try glucomannan the way it was studied, this is the bottle that tells you how.
02NOW Pure Powder
If you are disciplined about stirring half a teaspoon into a full glass of water and drinking it straight away, NOW's powder gives you the studied fiber for pennies.
03Nature's Way 1,995 mg
Nature's Way gets the dose, the directions and the warning right and adds almost nothing to the fiber.
Quick Answers
What is the active ingredient in Lipozene?
A 1,500 mg proprietary blend of Amorphophallus konjac per two capsules, according to the Supplement Facts panel. That is konjac root, the source of glucomannan fiber.
Is Lipozene clinically proven to cause weight loss?
The label says so without citing a study. Independent research does not agree: a 2014 meta-analysis of eight randomized trials found no significant weight loss from glucomannan, and a 2013 trial found no difference from placebo over eight weeks.
