Brief Answer:
causes increased satiety

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Lipozene active ingredient is glucomannan which is a fiber that can essentially absorbs water and increases satiety (fullness).
This fullness would then result in decrease food/fluid intake.

This is the proposed mechanism for weight loss- increased fullness- decreased food- weight loss.

In terms of possible side effects-(1) obstruction of the GI tract. If it absorbs water and blocks aspects of the GI tract such as the bowel or esophagus.

This effect is stated to be more common with the tablet form not the capsule.

(2)it can cause abdominal pain and diarrhea due to its laxative effect

(3)reduction in blood sugars

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions

If you are a diabetic, because of a small potential risk of low blood sugar with the lipozene , you would need to monitor your blood sugars but other than this there are no known interactions

If you wish to list your medications so that they can be checked specifically, you can do this
