The Leptitox sales page claims that the Leptitox weight-loss supplement promotes the right amount of Leptin’s inside the body and would consequently be the solution to overeating. Leptin is a hormone in an individual’s body that decreases one’s hunger and fat storage by signaling the brain. According to the Leptitox sales page, Leptin resistance is the reason Americans are overweight. Moreover, Leptin resistance is when an individual produces too much of the hormone, and brain signals to stop eating aren’t activated.  

According to the Leptitox sales page, no exercise, diet, or medication is required to see weight-loss results. Sales pages claim that the supplement combats Leptin resistance by using active ingredients to counteract Leptin’s production. Leptitox is composed of all-natural ingredients and claims to have no side-effects. The ingredients listed on the sales page are Alfalfa, Milk Thistle, Apium Graveolens as known as celery, Taraxacum leaves, Chanca Piedra, Chicory Root, Jujube, Grapeseed, Brassica commonly known as cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower, kale and cabbage, and Barberry. While most of these ingredients have promising health benefits, such as Barberry, and Taraxacum leaves, none have been thoroughly studied for their weight-loss potential or analyzed for there effects on Leptin resistance.  

Furthermore, Leptitox supplements are available for sale in capsule form. The capsules are produced in the United States in a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved lab. However, the supplement itself is currently not supported by the FDA. Despite the claims of no side-effects, the lack of FDA approval means there is no data on Leptitox ingestion risks or benefits. 

Moreover, some of the ingredients, such as Chicory root, can have side effects such as low blood sugar, and ingredients like Grapeseed oil can cause headaches, dizziness, and nausea. Milk Thistle can also cause diarrhea and, in rare cases, cause nausea, bloating, and upset stomach. Another ingredient not thoroughly studied is Chanca Piedra. The herb is listed as possibly unsafe during pregnancy and could potentially interfere with getting pregnant and cause congenital disabilities. Finally, Brassica could be dangerous with conditions like hypothyroidism and could worsen the syndrome. These side-effects are not a comprehensive list of all the ingredients formulated in Leptitox and also don’t take into consideration possible herb-drug interactions. On certain individuals, possible interactions can have severe health complications. 

Overall, Leptitox is a natural product advertised to battle leptin resistance and promote weight-loss. However, there are no academic studies or reliable sources to support testimonial claims made on the various online sales pages and reviews of the supplement. Meaning there is no guarantee Leptitox will deliver the advertised effortless weight-loss results or be safe to consume regularly. Like with all over-the-counter medications and supplements, consult a health professional before using.
