What are the active ingredients in lipoless and how do they work?

Executive summary
Lipoless is a name used for several different products with different active ingredients: a prescription injectable branded “LIPOLESS” that lists tirzepatide (a dual GLP-1/GIP agonist) as its active ingredient (manufacturer site) and multiple over‑the‑counter “Lipoless” or “Lipoless Advance” dietary supplements that list herbal and nutraceutical blends—commonly green coffee, forskolin (Coleus forskohlii), raspberry ketone, Garcinia cambogia, green tea extract, caffeine and multi‑ingredient proprietary blends [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. Available sources do not mention a single unified formula for “Lipoless”; the name denotes different products with very different mechanisms [1] [6] [3].
1. Two very different products share the name “Lipoless”
Company pages show that “LIPOLESS” as sold by Laboratorios Eticos Paraguay is an injectable whose active pharmaceutical ingredient is tirzepatide, a peptide that mimics the gut hormones GLP‑1 and GIP and acts on metabolism [1]. Separately, multiple retail listings for “Lipoless”, “Lipoless Advance” or “NS Lipoless” are dietary supplements with herbal extracts and stimulants such as green coffee, coleus forskohlii (forskolin), raspberry ketone, Garcinia cambogia, green tea extract and caffeine [6] [2] [3] [4] [5].
2. Prescription “LIPOLESS” — tirzepatide and how it works
The manufacturer page for LIPOLESS identifies tirzepatide as the active ingredient and describes its action as mimicking two natural post‑meal hormones, GLP and GIP, to affect metabolism; it is positioned for obesity, overweight and type 2 diabetes [1]. Tirzepatide is a dual agonist of GLP‑1 and GIP receptors; the company frames this as a targeted metabolic therapy that reduces appetite and alters glucose and fat handling [1]. Available sources do not provide clinical data, dosing, regulatory approvals or safety details beyond the manufacturer’s claims [1] [7].
3. Dietary supplement versions — common ingredients and claimed effects
Retail listings for “Lipoless Advance” and NS Dietcontrol Lipoless show recurring ingredients and claims: green coffee extract and coleus forskohlii (forskolin) are singled out for thermogenic/lipolytic action; raspberry ketone and Garcinia cambogia are highlighted as metabolism or fat‑loss boosters; caffeine and green tea extract appear for appetite suppression and increased energy [2] [3] [4] [5]. Product descriptions claim these blends promote fat breakdown, boost thermogenesis and support weight control when combined with diet and exercise [3] [6].
4. Mechanisms claimed for supplement ingredients — summary and limits
Vendors state mechanisms in plain terms: green coffee is promoted to reduce glucose absorption and help burn fat, coleus forskohlii (forskolin) for lipolysis, raspberry ketone and caffeine for increased metabolic rate, and OB‑X plant blends for anti‑angiogenic and antioxidant actions in adipose tissue [2] [6] [3]. These are marketing summaries from sellers; the provided sources do not supply independent clinical trials, effect sizes, or safety profiles to substantiate efficacy claims [6] [3] [2].
5. Regulatory and evidence context — what the sources say and what they omit
The injectable product page asserts use in obesity/diabetes and says active ingredients are “approved by the FDA and the EMA” in a FAQ entry, but the provided manufacturer material is the only source in this dataset making regulatory claims [7]. Retail supplement listings present ingredients and user testimonials but do not provide peer‑reviewed evidence or regulatory approval statements in the supplied excerpts [3] [4] [8]. Available sources do not include independent regulatory documents, randomized clinical trial data, or safety/adverse‑event summaries for any Lipoless product in this set [1] [6] [3] [2].
6. Practical takeaways for readers and purchasers
The same trade name is applied to both a prescription peptide therapy and to varied over‑the‑counter supplements; consumers must verify which product they encounter and read ingredient lists closely [1] [3]. Manufacturer and retailer pages promote mechanisms and benefits, but the current reporting here lacks independent clinical evidence, detailed safety data and clear regulatory confirmation beyond vendor statements [1] [6] [7]. For medical treatments like tirzepatide, consult a clinician; for supplements, check ingredient lists and be cautious about efficacy and interactions [1] [3] [2].
Limitations: this analysis relies only on the supplied pages; claims about clinical effectiveness, approvals, dosing and safety beyond those vendor statements are not found in current reporting and therefore are not confirmed here [1] [6] [3].
