My summary reveal: does Exipure work?
After all my investigating, I have to admit that Exipure certainly has the potential to help you lose weight.
I say “potential” because it’s clear to me that Exipure does not work for everyone, while it provided great results for many others.
I believe the people for whom Exipure proved to be very effective in shedding pounds & improving their appearance also took steps to make a couple of lifestyle changes.***
I’m guessing that they upped their workout game & became more mindful of their diet choices while they were taking Exipure, and that decision made a huge positive impact on Exipure’s effectiveness and on their weight loss & body transformation goals.

Footnote
*** – I say “lifestyle changes” because the one person I met who took Exipure for an extended time also started going to the gym regularly & gave up junk food. She lost 38 lb. in 5 1/2 months while taking the 6-month supply of Exipure she bought. I’ll share that story down in the Customer Reviews section.

About Exipure
Exipure is a dietary supplement that is designed to support healthy weight loss. It is made up of a blend of only plants & plant extracts that work together to promote weight loss in a safe and natural way.
This supplement is created using an advanced proprietary formula that is free from any harmful chemicals or artificial additives, making it a safe and reliable option for individuals looking to lose weight.
Brief ingredient intro
This is just a quick look into what’s in the Exipure formula. I’ll go into much more detail on each ingredient & its scientific research down in the Ingredients section.
Notice how many of them have anti-inflammatory properties. This is no coincidence, because research has shown that inflammation is tied to being overweight & obesity.
Propolis – a resinous mixture produced by bees, propolis may have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
White Korean Ginseng – a type of ginseng that may help reduce stress and support healthy immune function. Stress can contribute to weight gain, so reducing stress is a good thing.
Quercetin – a flavonoid found in fruits and vegetables, quercetin may help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, which are factors that can contribute to weight gain.
Holy basil (Tulsi) – an herb that has been traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Holy basil may also reduce stress and support healthy metabolism too.
Perilla – an herb that is rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, which may help reduce inflammation and support healthy weight loss.
Phellodendron Amurense – an herb that has been traditionally used in Chinese medicine for its potential health benefits, including supporting healthy immune function and reducing inflammation.
Kudzu – a plant that has been traditionally used in Chinese medicine for its potential health benefits, including supporting healthy metabolism and reducing inflammation.
Oleuropein – a compound found in olives and olive leaf extract, oleuropein may have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that could support a weight loss program.
A note on low-grade inflammation & weight gain
Chronic low-grade inflammation has been linked to the development of obesity and other metabolic disorders.
Research shows that this type of inflammation can interfere with the body’s ability to regulate energy expenditure, leading to an imbalance between calorie intake and energy expenditure.
As a result, this can promote the storage of excess body fat and contribute to weight gain.
How Exipure works
If you’re struggling with unexplained weight gain, you’re not alone. It can be tough to figure out the root cause of those extra pounds, and even harder to find a solution.
Luckily, there’s a natural and effective way to support your weight loss journey – Exipure.
Extensive clinical research has found one cause of unexplained weight gain that is not the lack of physical exercise or inability to follow a weight loss diet.
It’s the state where our bodies have overly high levels of white fat cells coupled with low levels of brown fat cells.
Brown fat cells are technically known as brown adipose tissue or (BAT), and raising their levels has shown that it promotes weight loss.
And that’s where Exipure comes in.
This high-quality and potent weight loss supplement is designed to improve the levels of BAT in both men and women.
Why brown fat?
By boosting brown fat cells and converting white fat cells, Exipure helps activate the process of burning fat and removing unwanted body fat.
White fat is what accumulates in stubborn layers throughout our bodies, making it difficult to prevent weight from being gained, let alone lose it.
In addition to aiding in weight loss, an increase in brown fat and BAT levels can also help maintain our body temperature during colder weather.
Bottom line: So in a nutshell, Exipure’s diet pills work to boost the levels of brown adipose tissue and reduce the levels of white fat tissue by effectively converting it into brown fat. So hopefully say goodbye to unexplained weight gain and hello to a healthy weight loss journey.
The controversial Exipure video
Here’s a link that opens up that infamous Exipure video you’ve probably heard about, if you’d like to hear their explanation on how Exipure works on brown fat & how Exipure came about.
It also has 20 or so video testimonials from customers sharing their Exipure experience, success stories, & how the weight loss impacted their lives for the better.
Customer reviews
On Exipure’s website, you can see several Exipure customers, happy with their purchase & showing off their weight loss. There are also three written testimonials, which I’ll share excerpts of here:
“I never used to leave the house, worried about not fitting into chairs or public transport. Now after trying Exipure I’m down 35 lbs! I feel & look amazing. My energy levels are through the roof…” – Lauren G. Wyoming, US
“I was so embarrassed when my son grabbed my belly and asked ‘Daddy, why is your tummy so squishy?’. I verified the (Exipure) research & had to try it out. I’m down 26 lbs.” – Zach M. New York, US
“I’m now down 4 dress sizes, about 40 lbs. Who would have thought it was so easy?” – Cassie T. Delaware, US
About that woman I met who took Exipure
After reading almost every Exipure review good or bad, the one that carries the most weight with me is from the person I met, that I mentioned earlier in the article.
She bought a 6-month bundle of Exipure, then joined a gym & cleaned up her diet. She told me that in the 5 1/2 months that followed she lost 38 lb.
My experience: This person was not a friend or relative, but rather a stranger who I had a chance conversation with at a health food store where I was off on a surfing trip.
When she found out my background was in nutrition research & fitness training and that nowadays I authored a fitness blog, she was very forthright in sharing her weight loss experience with me.
This was a couple of years ago when I had no idea I’d be writing a review of Exipure here today, so I didn’t drill her with questions on a lot of specific details.
But I remember…“Exipure”, “joined gym, cut out junk food”, “38 lb.”, and “just under 6 months”. And also that she no longer was taking it.
Is Exipure safe?
Here are five important facts that clearly show that Exipure is safe & made with quality standards:
* Exipure contains all-natural ingredients that are free from harmful chemicals and synthetic compounds.
* It is manufactured in the USA in an FDA-approved facility to ensure consistent quality and safety, and is certified for GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices), an internationally recognized standard for quality product manufacturing.
* Exipure is GMO-free, dairy-free, and soy-free, making it suitable for individuals with dietary restrictions or preferences.
* Exipure undergoes third-party inspections and quality control to ensure the highest standards of safety and efficacy.
How to achieve the best results with Exipure
It’s easy to maximize your weight loss results with Exipure. Just follow these three simple steps to get the most out this weight loss supplement:
- take Exipure only as directed;
- be mindful of your diet, avoid excessive eating;
- exercise regularly.
On the Exipure website they advise customers to take their suggestion about diet & exercise seriously, and that makes perfect sense to a fitness pro like me.
Another tip from Exipure: Be patient, safe weight loss takes time. They advise you take it for a minimum of 3-6 months for best results.
My guess-timate on why some people failed losing weight with Exipure
On the flip side of all the impressive Exipure success stories, there are those where Exipure was not effective at helping someone with losing weight. So what gives?
I have a theory on why that was, but no way of proving it since I don’t know any of the people whose weight loss attempt failed while taking Exipure.
My theory: I believe some Exipure fails happened because those people felt like they didn’t need to do anything different in their lives other than to start taking Exipure pills.
In professional fitness we call that “wishing for a Magic Pill”.
So I partially blame that on all of the Exipure marketing hype, including things I heard on the Exipure video.
In some of Exipure’s older marketing campaigns I saw customer testimonials where people were saying things like
“I lost XX pounds & I didn’t stop eating ice cream/pizza/whatever”, or “I ate all my favorite foods, didn’t exercise, & still lost XX pounds…it was SO easy!”
I think some naive people actually believed they could lose weight AND still get away with eating crap & not exercising, just by popping a “magic” pill once a day.
In my humble opinion I just don’t believe that is possible. I think weight loss supplements need your effort too, in order to work their best for you.
Exipure price & cost/month, bundles
Exipure has a cheaper cost per month if you buy it in one of their bundles.
This makes good sense for a weight loss supplement because it takes months to lose a noticeable amount of weight, and I’ll show you the math on that in a bit.
-
- Exipure 1 month: $59
- Exipure 3 months: $49/month
- Exipure 6 months: $39/month
The 3-month & 6-month bundles both come with two helpful free books:
- Renew You – Simple methods for relieving stress & reducing anxiety;
- 1 Day Kickstart Detox – 15 easy-to make detox tea recipes, using things you already have in your kitchen.
Where to buy Exipure (watch out for fake pills)
The best way — meaning the safest & the cheapest — to buy Exipure is to get it directly from the Exipure website.
It’s certainly the safest place, because there’s fake Exipure for out there. Be aware that there are a lot of Exipure knockoffs on the market, including on some of the biggest online shopping sites.
Exipure doesn’t authorize anyone else to sell their supplement. If you decide to buy some, buy it on their site.
Exipure’s website bundles have the cheapest price
So other places online may or may not be selling you the real Exipure.
But even if they are selling the real Exipure, that’s only because they bought it from Exipure first at a big discount.
At a price much cheaper than what they’re charging you.
And why wouldn’t they? Exipure offers really great discounted bundle deals when you buy several months worth (up to 33% off).
The bundles make the most sense for any weight loss supplement anyways, because safe weight loss does not happen overnight, you have to give it time, as I explain below.
Safe weight loss takes time: guidelines
It’s important to approach weight loss in a safe and sustainable manner. According to the Mayo Clinic, a safe amount of weight loss is one to two pounds per week.
(You may be able to sneak in a 3 lb. weekly loss every few weeks or so without any problems.)
After doing the quick math – all this means is that depending on how much you’ve dialed in everything (diet, workouts, & weight loss supplement), you’ll be able to realistically lose anywhere from (roughly) 13-33 lb. in a three month period, and lose from 17-42 lb. in four months, and so on.
Notice the big range of potential weight loss?
That shows you how much impact your lifestyle decisions are to your body transformation plan.
Exipure 100% Money Back Guarantee
Exipure offers a no-questions-asked 100% money back guarantee; here’s what it looks like:
The only requirement to qualify for this guarantee is that you return all the bottles to Exipure (even if they’re empty). I got this information from the FAQ section which I found on this page: Exipure Main Page
How to use Exipure
Daily dosing is very simple with Exipure. Every bottle contains a month’s supply, and you simply take 1 pill a day.
Other directions for use:
- Drink at least a cup (8 oz.) of water with every pill;
- Don’t skip a day’s dose. But if you do, do NOT “double up” and take 2 the following day.
Tips:
When taking Exipure, it is important to follow these recommended dosage instructions.
It is also important to note that this supplement is not a magic pill for weight loss, but is designed to be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise routine.
By combining Exipure with a healthy lifestyle, individuals can achieve their weight loss goals in a safe and natural way.
Exipure ingredients & their clinical results
Here I’ll go over the eight ingredients in Exipure in more detail, especially regarding their potential benefits for us weight-loss wise.
I’ll also share my thoughts on the clinical research that’s been done on each of them, so we can see if it supports Exipure’s claims.
Propolis
Made by bees, propolis has shown potential benefits in reducing inflammation. Propolis, a resin-like substance collected by bees, has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory properties in several studies (Sforcin, Bankova, & Kuropatnicki, 2017).
Research has suggested that propolis may be effective in treating a variety of conditions.
White Korean Ginseng
Several studies have suggested that white Korean ginseng may help reduce stress and cortisol levels in the body, which could have a positive impact on overall health and weight management.
Chronic stress can contribute to weight gain through its effects on hormones such as cortisol and insulin, which can increase appetite and promote fat storage.
Quercetin
Quercetin comes from vegetables & fruits. It’s a powerful antioxidant that may offer several health benefits, including reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. Both of those issues can lead to weight gain.
Research has indicated that quercetin supplementation may reduce inflammation in individuals with various conditions.
Holy basil (Tulsi)
(My 2¢: I drink almost a pot of this every day; I love it. It has proven benefits and it’s real cheap on Amazon too. I only buy one kind: Davidson’s Organic Pure Tulsi Leaves; the 1 lb. bag lasts me several weeks.)
Tulsi, also known as holy basil, is a herb with a long history of use in Ayurvedic medicine. Recent research has shown that tulsi possesses potent antioxidant properties and may help reduce inflammation in the body.
Another clinical study found that tulsi may help lower levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), which are associated with a variety of health problems.
Perilla
Perilla is a herb with several potential health benefits, including its antioxidant properties and its high content of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been linked to improved weight loss and reduced inflammation in the body.
Amur Cork Bark
Amur Cork Bark (Phellodendron Amurense) is a plant that has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for its potential health benefits. Research has suggested that extracts from the bark of this plant may help modulate the immune system and reduce inflammation in the body.
Kudzu
Kudzu is a traditional Chinese herb that has been used for its potential health benefits, including its effects on metabolism and inflammation.
Research has found that kudzu may help regulate metabolism and improve insulin sensitivity, potentially aiding in the prevention of metabolic disorders.
Additionally, kudzu contains compounds that have anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases associated with inflammation.
Oleuropein
Oleuropein is a natural compound found in olives and olive oil, and it has been associated with a number of potential health benefits.
It may possess potent antioxidant properties, which could help protect against oxidative stress-related diseases (Jemai et al., 2009).
Additionally, oleuropein has been linked to improvements in weight loss and reductions in inflammation in the body (Sánchez-Quesada et al., 2013).
Exipure’s competitors & best alternatives
At the beginning of this review, I mentioned that I’d provide alternatives to Exipure. In this section I’ll show you the two I had in mind, and I’ll share why I think they’re a better choice.
1. For women & men
Instant Knockout Cut
This is my recommended top pick for weight loss, reducing body fat, eliminating overeating & between-meal cravings.
Instant Knockout Cut is a preferred choice for MMA fighters trying to get to their cutting weight, professional bikini models & physique contest competitors preparing for an upcoming photo shoot, & anyone else looking to lose weight & show off their muscle toned body.
It attacks excess pounds two ways using research-proven ingredients. On one hand it has the natural appetite suppressant glucomannan (konjac root).
This helps you to eat less at mealtime & keeps you feeling full in between meals too, so you’re much less likely to do any binge snacking.
On its other hand it supplies your body with proven & all-natural metabolism boosters, fat oxidizers, & calorie burners: caffeine anhydrous, green tea extract, cayenne powder, & black pepper extract.
I wrote up an in-depth review of it you can check out if interested:
My Deep Instant Knockout Review With Results From Real Users
2. For women
Hourglass Fit
Not as robust as Instant Knockout ingredient-wise, but still a solid option.
This is built with the same two-prong approach to weight loss as Instant Knockout Cut: appetite control + fat-burning metabolism enhancing.
Hourglass Fit doesn’t have the caffeine in it, so it makes up for it by having a larger dose of the hunger pang killer glucomannan.
Men who don’t want any caffeine could take this no problem; Hourglass Fit just market this formula towards women.
Any Exipure complaints?
Exipure’s been a big seller for awhile now. I have no way of knowing how many thousands of customers Exipure has, but on their video made a few years ago their owner said Exipure had 234,005 customers up to that point.
In any event, compared to those numbers there are very few public complaints compared to how popular this weight loss supplement became.
The biggest batch of complaints I came across was on Amazon, but there’s a huge problem with this: those pills are NOT the real Exipure.
Go read the reviews, or type in “fake” or “different” in the Questions box, & you’ll see what I mean.
The bottle looks the same, but the seller is NOT Exipure. It’s someone (“Prime Ninja”) claiming they’re an authorized seller of Exipure, but Exipure doesn’t have any authorized sellers to my knowledge.
People who originally bought Exipure pills on the Exipure website are complaining that the pills on Amazon are different-looking, different sized, & don’t work.
Who knows what’s in them?
Exipure BBB issues or Exipure lawsuits
I didn’t find any legal issues for Exipure, but I found where 80+ people had filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau.
Most of the people were complaining that they wanted a refund (because the product didn’t work for them), and that they were “getting the runaround” trying to get their money back.
However when I read all of their individual cases, it turns out that nearly all of them were not following the proper process in order to take advantage of Exipure’s 100% Money-Back Guarantee.
That 100% money back guarantee is honored when the customer returns all the bottles, “even if empty”.
None of the people complaining on the BBB site had returned their bottles yet, as required in the money back guarantee.
Following simple instructions sounds like an easy enough thing to do, doesn’t it?
FAQs
Here are answers to a few common questions asked about Exipure.
Are there any potential side effects associated with taking Exipure?
Over a quarter million people have used Exipure without any major side effects being reported. Rarely occurring minor side effects include nausea, stomach discomfort, or headaches.
How long does it typically take to see results with Exipure?
Based on the manufacturer's claims and user testimonials, most people may start to see some change within the first few weeks of using the product, but noticeable weight loss will take 3-6 months minimum.
How much weight can I expect to lose while taking Exipure?
Weight loss is a complex process that varies widely from person to person depending on several factors, including individual metabolism, diet, and exercise habits. Some lose a lot of weight, some lose none.
Are there any lifestyle changes that should be made while taking Exipure?
Adopting healthy lifestyle habits while taking Exipure is needed for achieving optimal results. Maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise can greatly enhance the supplement's effectiveness.
Wrapping up: Is Exipure worth it?
In light of the numerous benefits Exipure offers, it’s clear that this weight loss supplement is worth considering for those on a journey to a healthier lifestyle.
Here’s a recap of what Exipure has going for it:
* Exipure is a plant-based, all natural, vegan-friendly weight loss supplement that’s made with quality manufacturing & safety standards;
* It provides a safe weight loss approach that works by raising brown fat cell (aka BAT) levels which cause weight loss by removing the white fat;
* Exipure has over a quarter of a million customers, lots of success stories on their website & on the Exipure origin video, and very few complaints by comparison;
* The cheapest & safest place to buy Exipure is on their website, because 1) they have discounted bundle prices & 2) there are a lot of fake Exipures for sale online;
* Exipure has a no-questions-asked 100% money back guarantee. This full refund policy only requires that you return all the bottles you bought to them.
My 2¢
Personally I think Instant Knockout Cut is a better choice than Exipure for both women & men, because I prefer its ingredients’ effectiveness more than those in Exipure.
However, these two best-selling supplements approach weight loss in two completely different ways, and both have thousands of happy customers.

I hope my Exipure review is useful for you, and I wish you well on your fitness journey.
