Lipo-6

Anyone heard of this fat loss pill called Lipo-6? I haven't, but apparently it's pretty famous in the bodybuilding industry. He wants to try'em, but I'm not keen on giving him my blessings.

It works by stimulating a thyroid hormone called T3. It increases the basal metabolic rate which also means it increases heart rate and blood pressure. That alone scares me. And dosage is supposedly 4 (?!) capsules during the day and none at night (within 6 hours of bed time).

The recommended dosage is for a healthy male, right? What if the person taking it isn't as healthy as we think?
