L-Carnitine is known for stimulating the burning of fatty acids. Research findings are mixed. Levorex claims Acetyl-l-carnitine is even better than l-carnitine. Research found that old rats fed Acetyl-l-carnitine plus lipoic acid showed increased metabolism. (http://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/abstract/99/4/1870)
However, Levorex does not contain lipoic acid. Also, because this study was done on rats and not humans, this Levorex review cannot determine exactly how effective the Acetyl-l-carnitine in Levorex might be.

Tyrosine (you’ll sometimes see it called 4-hydroxyphenylalanine) is one of the amino acids used by cells to synthesize proteins. Even an effective ingredient,backed by research, is ineffective if there isn’t enough of it. With L-Tyrosine, you want to look for daily dosage amounts of 500 to 1500 mg. The amount in Levorex isn’t enough to be effective.

Green tea has been proven to be effective in contributing to weight loss.

Bioperine is an extract from the fruit Piper nigrum L (black pepper) or Piper longum L (long pepper). Both of these contain the active ingredient that you’re looking for: Piperine. They call it a “thermonutrient” because it “enhances the body’s natural thermogenic activity.” I don’t know if the ability to absorb more nutrients will directly translate into lost weight, but the added health benefits of Bioperine should not be overlooked.

In a clinical study, evodiamine was given to mice as .02% of their diet. These mice did lose more weight than the mice given placebo. We’d like to see more research done on evodiamine before we can endorse it as an ingredient to be included in diet pills.

Vinpocetine is used to treat age-related memory problems (increases blood circulation to the brain). You should only take 2-5 mg of vinpocetine to make sure you don’t react negatively to it.

How much does Levorex cost?

One bottle of Levorex diet pills contains 360 capsules and retails for $79.95 (although you can find it online for $36.99). If you take the maximum dosage of 12 capsules per day, one bottle will last 30 days.

What are the side effects of Levorex?

The side effects of Levorex include increased heart rate, nausea, anxiety, and dizziness.

Liporexin/Levorex–why the name change?

Levorex was previously known by the name Liporexin, but the name has recently been changed. There could be several reasons for this. There are other diet pills with the name of Liporexin; perhaps they wanted to be able to distinguish their product from the others. Or perhaps they wanted to leave behind their past and try to start over. There is very little information online about the manufacturer, AvaPharm, or Anafit, the company that represents them.

Levorex conclusion

Levorex is a diet pill which prides itself on not using stimulants; we like this. We also like the use of green tea. However, more research needs to be done on most of the ingredients in Levorex. This Levorex review recommends finding another diet pill until more research can back up the claims made by Levorex.
