Lipo-6X is considered by many to be the leading effective next generation weight loss adjunct. The magic of Lipo-6X is not only in the ingredients but more focused in the unique delivery system that is used in the product. Lipo-6X uses MULTI-PHASE technology a revolutionary next generation pharmaceutical delivery system. However before the accolades and benefits on Lipo-6X are discussed, it is well worthwhile to discuss the history and pedigree of various oral delivery systems for the public consumption.

In the beginning

Many moons ago, even over two hundred years ago (back to ancient Greece) there was only one way that medicines or other agents were delivered in a way that many may not be comfortable with (via an enema like flush). Without being graphic lubricated tubes were rectally inserted in order to deliver medications, herbals, decoctions and so on. The actual absorption via this delivery system as you could imagine was poor. Thus as the science of medicine advanced so did the thought system of how to deliver herbals, nutritionals, medicines and so on.

Capsules made from…what?

After the enema type delivery system was losing its favor in the public, a new system was developed: Capsules made from gelatin. Gelatin is a unique foodstuff that has many applications in the foods industry. Gelatin is manufactured from skin and bone from slaughtered animals that have been approved for human consumption. The collagen contained in the raw materials is the actual starting material used in the manufacturing of gelatin. Today, we see gelatin in many foods, especially in sport and snack bars. This is the market where athletes are most exposed to gelatin or hydrolyzed collagen as a protein source. The form of gelatin used in these bars is collagen or hydrolyzed collagen. In each industry that gelatin is used in, there are quality controls for handling and processing, thus providing one or multiple steps of protection from contamination.

Gelatin is also wildly used by the pharmaceutical and sports nutrition industry for two-piece hard capsules and soft elastic gelatin capsules. Without doubt gelatin and gelatin-based capsules have many uses for delivering agents to the body. However one of the historical weaknesses of capsules is that all of the product is delivered at one time making time-released effects next to impossible.

Tablets

Since we could consider capsules to be the first mass market form that delivers products to the body, the next big one has to be tablets. Many of the oral products that we use are supplied in capsule and tablet form. The aspect of preparing tablets for the marketplace is known as “tableting”. According to industry experts from Nutritional Labs (a contract manufacturer) the processes used today, including the type of equipment to make a tablet, has not changed over the past 20 years. Tablets are from granulated materials that are compressed and used both in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products. That has not changed either in 20 years to any significant degree.

Therefore we can think of tablets as essentially compacted raw materials that offer no special advantage over a capsule. The ability to make a time-release capsule truly work and be successful in the marketplace has been limited due to variations in the compressing, meshing and compacting of the raw materials. Manufacturers have in fact made the tablets bigger in order to add “coatings” or other factors to the tablet hoping that it would improve the functionality.

Liquid Capsules

The next generation of capsules has been in the area of making stabilized liquids to be put into the capsules. The first generation Lipo-6 in fact uses the Capsugel® advanced liquid filling system and was actually the first company in the dietary supplement industry to have a “liquid capsule” delivery system. Lipo-6 is far superior to many other products in how the active ingredients are delivered to the body. Liquid items are typically absorbed better and stronger than powdered products, tableted products or generic capsule products. However, the product delivers its whole payload at one time and thus the thought within NUTREX RESEARCH became why not develop a true time-released product that is leading and cutting-edge which led to the unique discovery of the MULTI-PHASE Technology.

Lipo-6X – Most Advanced Delivery

The Lipo-6X product utilizes a system that industry leaders from the pharmaceutical and nutrition industries believe is unparalleled: MULTI-PHASE Technology. The Lipo-6x product uses a specialized time-released system of a capsule inside a capsule all surrounded by a liquid medium allowing for more expedient ingredient delivery and more effective delivery of the time released portion of the product. Using hydroxypropyl methyl-cellulose, Lipo-6X has been constructed (and verified) to contain a multi-phase, multi-compartment capsule(s) that are absorbed faster and more efficiently by the body when compared to all other typical capsule or tablet delivery systems. If you think about it, besides MULTI-PHASE capsules, there have been no outstanding innovations in the marketplace for getting the consumer the product that they want in a time-release fashion without losing out on effectiveness or being priced widely out of most people’s budgets. For example, when NUTREX investigated just how this system would deliver caffeine, which is absorbed in a peak amount within 30 minutes of ingestion we found that you the consumer can feel the effects for up to 8 hours. Again, it is only this specialized Lipo-6X delivery system that will allow you to enjoy an enhanced and prolonged absorption profile for the product. This is just one reason why Lipo-6X is so effective at aiding in appetite reduction, maintaining enhanced energy levels while also assisting in effective and perhaps targeted weight loss.

The Take Home

Science has advanced so much since the Ancient Greek times where medicinals, herbals and nutritionals were ingested from reverse enema type flushes. Slowly the science of a generic capsule was introduced and later modified while later tablets came into play. Next liquid-filled capsules were brought to the market and finally the Lipo-6X MULTI-PHASE technology was unveiled. This technology is truly remarkable and can only be found in Nutrex Products at this time. The controlled release for ingredient packaging to illicit a specific response in the user has been perfected and that perfection is how and why Lipo-6X is just that effective at delivering its carefully picked and scientifically valid ingredients aimed at assisting you in weight and fat loss while helping you to maintain energy even during the days were you diet hard. Lipo-6X is the future of fat loss with tomorrow’s delivery technology, today.
