Synephrine, the active substance in Lepigen Superstrong, is related to adrenaline which has a similar effect. The metabolism is increased by approximately 10%, you burn more calories, appetite is suppressed, you become more alert and more energetic at the same time as your performance increases. This makes you lose weight and gives you a general feeling of well-being. It gives that extra energy kick sometimes needed on night shifts or tough work-outs. The manufacturer claims that you can lose 10 kilos a month by using Lepigen Superstrong.

The downside is that the pulse and blood pressure increases, which could have side-effects on the heart and blood vessels such as palpitations. You can become restless and have difficulty sleeping.

Authorities have on several occasions warned of synephrine in diet and sports products due to its strong effect on the body.

Synephrine gives an effect similar to the substance Ephedrine, but with less side-effects. Ephedrine has been called “amphetamine light” and has been banned in several European countries where it can only be sold with a prescription. Synephrine is a weaker alternative to Ephedrine.

The active substance in Lepigen Superstrong, synephrine, can be extracted from bitter orange or unripe bitter oranges. Sometimes it is not called ‘synephrine’, but ‘bitter orange’ or ‘citrus aurantium’, the latin name for bitter orange. It’s still the same thing.

Lepigen Superstrong is not sold in the UK. Instead, check out other popular diet pills, such as Proactol, DEcarb or Hoodia Patch.

In those countries where its active substance synephrine is legal, the answer is yes. However, authorities warn against consuming large amount of synephrine as well as combining synephrine with caffeine.

Synephrine is also used as a medicine against acute low blood pressure.

Not Lepigen Superstrong in particular, but for similar pills containing synephrine there are at least two clinical studies showing weight loss and at least three clinical studies showing that synephrine increases the burning of calories in the body. Several studies are currently ongoing.

I’ve heard rumours that one study showed that synephrine does NOT give any negative side-effect on the heart and blood vessels, but I’ve not managed to find that study.

Synephrine is a ‘catecholamine’, i.e. a “fight or flight” hormone. Other catecholamines are adrenaline, noradrenaline and dopamine. They affect the sympathic nervous system making the body ready for action – raise the pulse, increase the blood pressure and affect the blood sugar levels. Catecholamines are produced naturally in the body due to stress, strong sounds and strong light. All of this boosts the metabolism and burning fat from the fat reserves of the body, which leads to weight loss.

Synephrine is chemically very similar to Ephedrine. Ephedrine is for example used as asthma medicine and increases the blood pressure.

Sometimes you can read that Synephrine is extra efficient when it comes to burning fat. This is probably a misunderstanding – studies on dogs have shown that synephrine increases the metabolism in a certain type of fat tissue, ‘Brown Adipose Tissue’ (BAT). Unfortunately adults barely have any BAT, so increasing the metabolism where there are few cells serves little purpose.

Yes, it’s really not the safest diet pill on the market – effectiveness and risks usually go hand in hand.

Side-effects can be: palpitations, raised blood pressure and increased heart rythm which could lead to cerebral hemorrhage. Headaches, sleep problems. Jitters, restlessness. Cardiac and vascular spasm. Sweats. Dependence and mental side-effects such as anxiety.

Caffeine enhances the effects of synephrine, as well as the negative side-effects, so caffeine should be avoided.

Apart from that there are no special recommendations regarding the diet.

You should take a maximum of one pill a day. One pill contains 100 mg of synephrine. Note that this information could change – make sure that you have read the latest dosage information on the package before you start with this diet pill.

The manufacturer says that Lepigen Superstrong shouldn’t be used by people under the age of 18, women who breast feed or are pregnant or people suffering from conditions such as infections, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart problems, migraine, mental issues or enlarged prostate. Shouldn’t be combined with alcohol or medicines.
Professional athletes should check the rules thoroughly since a lot of sports federations class taking synephrine as doping.

Since synephrine increases your energy and performance, a lot of people use it to get an extra energy boost and better stamina while exercising. However, a lot of sports federations class taking synephrine as doping.

The last type of diet pills cleanse the body through detox, and in that group we have 30 days.

Apart from Lepigen Superstrong which contains synephrine, there’s Lepigen X-strong, which contains natural substances that increase the metabolism (without synephrine).
