"The Ultimate "Diet Pill" Specifically Developed For The Significantly Overweight
When you're more than 20 pounds overweight and tired of wasting money on one ordinary
"diet pill" after another... and every diet plan has failed. Leptopril™ is the first weight-control compound designed to mitigate the profound effect that variations in the human genetic code have on the use of body fat. In addition to its caloric-restriction compound, Leptopril contains powerful stimulants that help overcome diet fatigue and provide the energy you want and need throughout the day. Remember: Leptopril is an extremely powerful anorectic agent and is not intended for use by the casual dieter who is merely attempting to shed five or ten "vanity" pounds. However, if substantial, excess body fat is adversely affecting your health and self-esteem, then Leptopril can provide serious help. Leptopril - the first comprehensive weight-loss compound designed specifically to help overcome your genetic predisposition. Leptopril is protected by U.S. Patent No. 5,945,107. Men and women who use Leptopril consider it one of the greatest weight-loss discoveries ever. Leptopril helps you overcome your difficult weight-loss problems while helping you regain the attractive, healthy-looking body you thought was gone forever."

MY REVIEW: YEAH, RIGHT!

My personal experience after taking the suggested 4 capsules daily for two weeks
then working up to double the recommended dosage for the last two weeks waiting for something, *anything* to happen? This product produces no effect. Nothing!
Well, maybe heartburn :) But I didn't experience even a caffeine buzz.
Seriously, this product does absolutely nothing!

The two websites listed on the label http://www.leptopril.com/
and http://www.leptoprilsupport.com/ are now both defunct.
I know, shocking!

Interestingly, Leptopril listed for $18.50 on http://www.vitacost.com/
has a completely different formula.

This version of LEPTOPRIL lists the following ingredients:

Niacin 20mg,
Calcium (as calcium amino acid chelate)39mg
Copper (from copper amino acid chelate).5mg

1178mg A Proprietary Blend containing:Yerba Mate (Leaf) SE, Guarana (Seed)SE, Caffeine, Damania (Leaf) SE, L-Tyrpsine, Acetylsalicylic acid, Green Tea (Leaf) SE, Kola Nut SE, Eucommia (bark), Schizonepeta (spica) SE, Piper Nigrum (fruit), Hoelen (aerial parts), Polygonum )root), Turmeric (rhizome)

Either way, GENERIX LABORATORIES is a joke and so is this sham of a product.
So long, to my hard earned $39.99 plus tax...
