A 'nighttime weight loss' supplement with a non-transparent proprietary blend, questionable efficacy for its broad claims, and a contradictory 'energy' goal.
Lipo6 Black Nighttime Ultra Concentrate aims to address a wide range of health goals, including weight loss, metabolism boost, and general well-being, while explicitly being a 'nighttime' formula. However, the reliance on a proprietary blend for its core 'weight loss & sleep support' function means that the specific ingredients and their dosages are not disclosed, which is a major red flag for assessing effectiveness and safety. While it contains beneficial micronutrients like Chromium Picolinate, Selenomethionine, and Vitamin B6, their individual contributions, especially to ambitious goals like significant weight loss or comprehensive anti-aging, are limited. The claim of supporting 'Energy' at night also directly contradicts its purported function and can be misleading to consumers seeking rest.
- Contains well-absorbed forms of Selenium (Selenomethionine) and Chromium (Chromium Picolinate).
- Includes Vitamin B6, an essential B vitamin involved in various bodily functions.
- Relies heavily on a 'Nighttime Weight Loss & Sleep Support Complex' proprietary blend, which lacks transparency regarding the specific ingredients and their dosages, making it impossible to evaluate its efficacy.
- The inclusion of 'Energy' as a goal contradicts its 'Nighttime' positioning, raising concerns about hidden stimulant ingredients or misleading marketing.
- The product's claims for broad health benefits (Immunity, Anti-Aging, Skin Health, Heart Health, Anti-Inflammatory) are weakly supported by its transparent ingredient profile compared to specialized supplements or comprehensive multivitamins.
- Weight loss efficacy is questionable, as common ingredients for this purpose are either not present in effective, transparent doses or have limited scientific backing for significant results.
- Proprietary blend makes it difficult to ascertain actual active ingredient dosages, potentially leading to underdosing of effective components or unknown interactions.
- The contradictory 'Energy' goal for a 'Nighttime' product could indicate the presence of unlisted stimulants that might interfere with sleep rather than promote it.
- Individuals seeking specific support for goals like heart health, anti-aging, or significant weight loss may find this product insufficient or misleading due to its vague formulation.

Categories
Selenium 70.0
The product provides 100mcg of Selenomethionine, which is a good, well-absorbed form of selenium. While some dedicated selenium supplements offer a higher 200mcg dose, 100mcg is still a beneficial amount for daily intake and antioxidant support.
Chromium 70.0
The product contains 200mcg of Chromium Picolinate, a widely used and reasonably bioavailable form of chromium. This is a standard dosage often found in supplements aimed at supporting healthy blood sugar metabolism.
Goals
Immunity 35.0
Selenium and Vitamin B6 offer some foundational support for the immune system, but the product lacks a broader spectrum of immune-boosting ingredients to be considered a strong contender for this goal.
General Health 30.0
While containing essential micronutrients like Vitamin B6, Chromium, and Selenium, the product provides a very narrow range of support compared to a comprehensive multivitamin that would truly address overall general health.
Anti-Aging 25.0
Selenium acts as an antioxidant, which can indirectly contribute to anti-aging by protecting cells from oxidative damage. However, the formulation lacks a wider array of well-known anti-aging compounds or higher doses of antioxidants typically associated with significant anti-aging benefits.
