NDS Liporush DS2

NDS Liporush DS2 Review

NDS Liporush DS2 is the most recent reformulation of Liporush; previous versions such as Liporush DS have been discontinued, but may be available still at some third party retailers. The product contains numerous stimulants, and is designed to boost the consumer’s metabolic rate, boost energy levels, and aid fat loss. The product is also intended to boost focus and mental alertness.

NDS is a supplement line manufactured by FitLife Brands, Inc., who are based in Nebraska in the USA. The company can be contacted using the information provided on either the NDS website or the FitLife Brands official website.

The manufacturers have not listed the individual ingredient quantities used in the supplement, other than stating that there is 300 mg of caffeine in each tablet. This makes it more difficult to establish how strong and effective Liporush DS2 actually is; there are many ingredients that could aid weight loss, but if they are used in too-small quantities then they are less likely to make an impact to weight loss, and large doses significantly increase the risks of side effects.

Yohimbe, bitter orange extract and Guggul lipids have all been associated with a wide variety of side effects, as described in the side effects section below, which could prevent some groups of people from taking this diet pill.

Caffeine and synephrine (from bitter orange extract) are both proven weight loss aids, although, as mentioned above, some have better safety profiles than others. Caffeine’s effects upon the metabolism are thought of as small but significant.

Theobromine is a stimulant that is similar to caffeine in structure, but it is even weaker, and unlikely to make a noticeable difference to the metabolism.

Piperine increases the absorption of caffeine and other compounds from the digestive tract into the bloodstream; this effectively makes the doses used higher, but can increase the chances of side effects occurring and increase the chances of accidental overdose from prescription medication.

Ashwagandha could help to lower cortisol levels, which helps to reduce stress, but could also make weight loss slightly easier in the long run (as high cortisol levels boost the appetite).

Dendrobium could potentially have benefits, but as the name describes a group of hundreds of plants, all of which have different properties, it is impossible to know how this ingredient will affect the consumer in practice.

Uva Ursi is a laxative ingredient, and Dandelion is both a diuretic and laxative. These two ingredients could help to give the impression of immediate weight loss from increased bowel movements and a loss of water weight, but do not contribute to long term, permanent or healthy weight loss in any way.

What Does NDS Liporush DS2 Claim To Do?

The manufacturers of NDS Liporush DS2 provide the following list of supposed benefits of the supplement:

• Maximum energy
• Fat loss
• Lean body definition
• Metabolism booster
• Razor-sharp focus/alertness
• Advanced diuretic/water shredding function
• Healthy adrenal support

They also state that this supplement uses their strongest thermogenic formula, and that it was ‘developed specifically for Advanced Users Only!’

Does NDS Liporush DS2 Work?

There are numerous ingredients found in NDS Liporush DS2 that could potentially increase the body’s metabolic rate and contribute to weight loss, provided that the consumer does not experience any unpleasant side effects, which would stop them from using the product (for their own health). The list of side effects that could occur is long,

Overall, we suspect that the presence of bitter orange, caffeine, theobromine will mean that consumers who are already dieting will notice an increased rate of weight loss whilst taking this product.

What Are The Ingredients of NDS Liporush DS2?

The ingredients used in Liporush DS2 are detailed below. The product consists of several proprietary formulas, and so no individual ingredient quantities are provided. The doses that are listed are per single capsule serving.

Lipo Burn Blend 440 mg

• Caffeine Anhydrous (300 mg): Numerous studies have shown that caffeine boosts energy levels and alertness, as well as mildly boosting the metabolism. The effects shown in studies are small, and some studies are inconclusive.

• Citrus aurantium Ext. (Std. to P-Synephrine): Citrus Aurantium, also known as bitter orange peel, has been proven to raise the metabolism and aid weight loss. However there are some concerns about its safety.
  Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22991491
• Amla (Phyllanthus emblica) (Fruit) Extract: This fruit is used in Ayuvedic medicine. It appears to reduce cholesterol levels, but is also used to treat stomach issues and inflammation, especially of the joints.
  Source: http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/indiangooseberry
• Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) Seed Ext. (Nelulean): Nelumbo Nucifera is a type of Lotus; preliminary studies in vitro and in rats have suggested that extracts from this plant can reduce fat mass in rats that are fed a high fat diet. The research was published in February 2014, concluding that ‘we suggest that lotus seed has a potential to be developed as an effective agent against obesity-related diseases’. Its effects in humans are unknown at this time.

• Dendrobium nobile (Stem) Concentrate: Dendrobium is a huge group of orchids, including about 1200 species of the plant. Various alkaloids are present in these plants, and have various effects, including improving mental focus, acting as a digestive aid and boosting mood. However, without more information, it is impossible to tell which alkaloids are used in this diet pill.

• Theobromine: Theobromine is a mild stimulant. Thought to be a much milder stimulant than caffeine, and is unlikely to have any significant impact upon weight loss.
  Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theobromine
• Yohimbe Bark Extract (Pausinystalia yohimbe): Some studies have noticed increased blood concentrations of free fatty acids in participants who use yohimbe extract, suggesting increased rates of lipolysis. However, the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database has stated that there is insufficient evidence to claim it aids in weight loss.

Water Shred Blend 175 mg

• Taraxacum officianales (Dandelion Root) Extract 4:1 (100%): Primarily a diuretic and laxative.
  Source: http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/DANDELION

Blackberry Extract (Std. to C3G Cyanidin-3-O-Glucosides)

• Arctostaphylos pincuica (Uva Ursi Leaf Powder): Uva Ursi is used to treat constipation, amongst other ailments. It can also have an astringent effect upon tissues in the body. It is possible that this leads to the user looking temporarily thinner, as their skin becomes dehydrated, allowing muscles to stand out more.
  Source: http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements
• Commiphora mukul Gugulipid Extract (Standardised to 2.5% Guggulsterones): Guggul extract is taken from the sap of a tree native to India. Currently, evidence that Guggul is useful for weight loss is preliminary, with mixed results from the few trials already conducted upon it, with some suggesting that Guggul has no effect upon weight loss, whilst others suggest its effect is moderate.
  Source: http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/GUGGUL
• L-Carnitine: There is some evidence that supplementation of acetyl-l-carnitine can reduce body fat, although the strongest results were seen in the elderly. The ingredient also boosts energy levels, and is used to treat fatigue.

Neuro Recovery Blend 50 mg

• Chinese Licorice (Root) Glycyrrhiza glabra frish: This plant is used in traditional Chinese and Arabic medicine for a variety of ailments, but there is little clinical evidence to support its use. It contains glycyrrhizin, which can cause high blood pressure, salt and water retention, and low potassium levels.
  Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycyrrhiza_uralensis
• Ashwagandha (Root) Withania somnifera: Ashwagandha is thought that its use lowers cortisol levels in the brain and body. Cortisol is a hormone produced during moments of stress, which has been associated with increasing weight gain, and making weight loss more difficult.
  Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23439798
• Rhodiola rosea (Root) 4:1 Extract: This plant has been shown to increase endurance in rats forced to swim for long periods of time. It may also help to improve recovery time after exhaustive exercise. There is little clinical evidence based upon humans.
  Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15500079

Amino Fit Blend 50 mg

• Glutamine: An essential amino acid, which is a building block of protein (muscle).
  Source: http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/glutamine
• Leucine: An essential branched chain amino acid which stimulates protein synthesis in the body, and is used as a building block for muscle. Whilst dieting, supplementing Leucine could help to maintain muscle mass whilst still losing fat mass, as it is used to help fuel muscle.
• Isoleucine: Isoleucine appears to promote glucose consumption and uptake. It also plays a role in inducing muscle protein synthesis (although it is not as strong as Leucine).
  Source: http://examine.com/supplements/isoleucine/
• Valine: Valine appears to be the least potent of the branched chain amino acids, but will still play a small role in stimulating protein synthesis and promoting glucose consumption and uptake.
  Source: http://examine.com/supplements/valine/
• Delivery Agent: Black Pepper (Piper nigrum) Fruit Ext. (Bioperine) 2 mg: This patented Black pepper extract is used for increasing the bioavailability of nutritional compounds. In other words, it increases the amounts of nutrients that are absorbed into the body in the digestive tract. It may also increase the absorption of various drugs, which may lead to potential side effects.

Does NDS Liporush DS2 Have Any Side Effects?

There are numerous ingredients present in NDS Liporush DS2 that can cause a range of side effects, some of which are potentially serious. As the manufacturers have not provided the individual ingredient quantities used in the supplement, it is difficult to establish the likelihood of any side effects occurring.

Guggul can cause side effects such as stomach upset, headaches, nausea, vomiting, loose stools, diarrhoea, belching, and hiccups. Guggul can also cause rash and itching, which could be symptoms of an allergic reaction.

Side effects associated with Branched Chaim Amino Acids (Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine) are rare and are usually not serious. They can include nausea, pain and headaches. BCAAs can affect blood sugar levels, and so diabetics should consult their doctor before taking this supplement.

Yohimbe can cause a wide range of side effects, including stomach upset, excitation, tremor, sleep problems, anxiety or agitation, high blood pressure, a racing heartbeat, dizziness, stomach problems, drooling, sinus pain, irritability, headache, frequent urination, bloating, rash, nausea, and vomiting. High doses can cause more severe effects.

Dandelion is a diuretic, and so could increase urination, and could cause dehydration. Severe dehydration causes other, more serious and unpleasant side effects, and so consumers should ensure that they are drinking plenty of water throughout the day whilst taking this product.

Side effects associated with the use of Bitter Orange extract include increased heart rate and increased blood pressure, heart palpitations, fainting, and even heart attack and stroke in healthy patients. The Mayo Clinic has recommended avoiding use of Bitter Orange extract because in their opinion, the risk of using the product is not worth the pay-off of any potential weight loss. The effects of synephrine and other bitter orange extracts are enhanced when combined with caffeine.

Side effects of caffeine can include headaches, increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, heart palpitations, increased urination, dehydration, jitteriness, dizziness and insomnia. Piperine can increase the absorption of caffeine and other stimulants, increasing their effectiveness, but also making side effects more likely. Piperine can also affect the absorption of other medications, increasing the chances of accidental overdose.
