Lepigen X-strong boosts the metabolism by activating the Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS), which prepares the body for fight or flight. When SNS is activated the body heat increases (thermogenesis), you don’t feel hunger, the metabolism increases and fats are broken down to be used as fuel – you burn fat. The body uses more energy than usual, while you feel alert and full of energy.

Lepigen X-strong activates the SNS through a combination of herbs:

1. Raspberry ketones, the substance that gives raspberries their smell. Studies on mice who were given raspberry ketones showed that they generated more body heat, that they lost weight and that their triglyceride levels improved.
2. Green tea, which contains catechins and caffeine, which increase the amount of energy that the body spends.
3. Piperine extract (black pepper), increases thermogenesis and makes it easier for the body to absorb nutrients and medicines.
4. Cayenne pepper extract, which reduce the feeling of hunger and increases the metabolism.
5. Panax Ginseng, which gives energy and increases your well-being.

There are several diet pills called Lepigen, but Lepigen is actually the name of the manufacturer. We have Lepigen Superstrong and Lepigen F-1 Fatburning Booster and Lepigen X-strong.

None of the Lepigen pills sold today contain ephedrine (which has become illegal).

Lepigen X-strong is currently not sold in the UK. Check out other popular diet pills, such as Proactol, DEcarb or Hoodia Patch.

All ingredients have a scientifically proven effect on humans, apart from the raspberry ketones which so far only have a proven effect on mice. There doesn’t seem to be any studies on the particular combination of herbs found in Lepigen X-strong, but it would be strange if they would suddenly stop working just because they’re combined in a diet pill.

Lepigen X-strong works by boosting the body’s fat burning processes. There are however different kinds of diet pills.

Popular pills increasing the fat burning processes are
– the more gentle: Lepigen X-strong and H.O.P.E,
– the more powerful (containing synephrine): Lepigen Superstrong,
– and the more long-term (containing wakame): Termoloss and Zenjaki (not sold in the UK at the moment).

There are also diet pills that block fat, or at least ensure the body cannot use all of it. These are: Proactol, Lipobind and H.O.P.E.

The third type of pills lower the Glycemic Index of the food. These are: DEcarb.

There are also diet pills (and patches) that suppress appetite, Hoodia Patch (Evolution), as well as those transforming fat into muscle, Evolution CLA.

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

There hasn’t been any research on the specific combination of herbs in Lepigen X-strong, but the herbs by themselves have not shown to have any side-effects.

If you are oversensitive to caffeine, you shouldn’t take Lepigen X-strong. The caffeine makes you more alert and energetic, just like drinking coffee, so you shouldn’t take Lepigen X-strong too late in the evening to avoid difficulties sleeping.

Ginseng shouldn’t be combined with anti-depressant medication of MAOI type, nor with anticoagulants or substances that stimulate the central nervous system. Take with caution if you have high blood pressure. Ginseng is not recommended if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.

No other side-effects have been reported, but people under the age of 18 should always be careful with food supplements.

Lepigen X-strong ensures your body burns more fat and makes you less hungry. Therefore you can eat as usual, but you’ll lose weight faster if you also try to reduce the amount of calories that you eat. You can also take a multivitamin pill to ensure that you get all the vitamins needed to reduce the risk of vitamin deficiencies.

You can take one tablet of Lepigen X-strong 30-40 minutes before a meal together with a glass of water, up to three times a day. 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.

Exercise is always good for your health, but it’s not necessary for Lepigen X-strong to work. Most likely you will get some excess energy thanks to the ingredients, so putting them to use is not a bad idea!

The effects of the substances in Lepigen X-strong have been studied thoroughly, with positive results:

The chilli’s hot substance is called capsaicin and activates the sympathetic nervous system.

• According to one study, the body consumed 23% more energy after a meal with capsaicin. Also, if the starter contained lots of chilli the people in the test group ate significantly less food when the main course arrived
• Another study showed that after a capsaicin-rich meal, the test group ate 10-16% less calories during two whole days, while eating until feeling full. The test group ate 10% less calories when the capsaicine was taken as a pill, i.e tasteless, and 16% less when it was eaten in its natural form, showing that the hot feeling on the tongue apparently adds to the effect.
• A third study showed a 6.6% weight loss when the test group ate capsaicin.

Piperine, responsible for the pungency of black pepper, makes it easier for the body to absorb nutrients and medicines. Ginseng, for example, is absorbed better in combination with black pepper. Piperine also increases the body heat (thermogenesis) which means an increase of the metabolism.

Green tea increases the symptomatic nervous system’s activity making the body consume more energy. Two substances contribute to this, caffeine and catechin.

• A study where three groups were given either green tea, caffeine (equivalent to that in green tea) or a placebo showed the people given green tea had an increase in the daily metabolism by 4%.
• A three month study with green tea on 70 overweight people gave a weight loss of 4.6% and a 4.5% reduction of the waist measurement.
• Several similar studies have shown weight loss and a reduction in the amount of body fat.
• The effect of green tea could be reduced if you at the same time eat or drink a lot of caffeine, equivalent to two cups of coffee per day or more. On the other hand, losing weight may speed up if you at the same time drink a lot of coffee.

Ginseng has a long tradition as a medicinal herb used in eastern culture. It is said to have a vitalizing effect, reduce stress, enhance memory, enhance concentration and give a stronger immune system. Science does clearly affirm these effects. Some studies give opposing results, and often the studies have been using different types and quality of ginseng which makes them more difficult to compare.

1. Lepigen X-strong helps you to lose weight using several different mechanisms at the same time; it increases the burning of fat, reduces the feeling of hunger and reduces the storage of fat.
2. Many other fat-burning diet pills contain synephrine, which can have serious side-effects. Lepigen X-strong does NOT contain synephrine.
3. Lepigen X-strong contains well-known herbs and spices, which reduces the risk of unexpected side-effects.
4. Since you don’t need to change your lifestyle and only take a pill, it’s an easy method to follow which will increase your chances of succeeding.

1. The disadvantage of a diet pill such as Lepigen X-strong is that it is a short-cut to a slimmer body. It does not help you learn to eat healthy and to exercise, and therefore it is missing the other positive “side-effects” you get from a healthier lifestyle.
2. Another disadvantage is the risk of yo-yo dieting. If you quickly lose weight with Lepigen X-strong without learning to eat healthily, the kilos will soon come back.

Lepigen X-stong is currently not sold in the UK. Check out other popular diet pills, such as Proactol, DEcarb or Hoodia Patch.

The manufacturer recommends to combine Lepigen X-strong with Lepigen F1-fatburning booster which contains amino acids that increase fat burning. You could also combine your diet with joining an on-line weight-loss programme, that helps you to permanently change your eating habits and obtain a healthy, sustainable lifestyle, for example Tescodiets.com.

To avoid vitamin deficiencies you should combine Lepigen X-strong with an efficient multivitamin pill.
