Leptoprin



Leptoprin is a dietary supplement marketed by "A.G. Waterhouse", a subsidiary of Basic Research; Salt Lake City, Utah. It was formerly known as Anorex (see anorexia).[citation needed]

It was originally developed for the clinically obese and thus was marketed as such.[citation needed] In 2007 the formula changed and the company began focusing advertisements on other products.

There is also a less expensive "generic" version of the formulation called "Leptopril", which is advertised as being developed by "Generix Labs". The two products are the same, being marketed to different consumer personalities by the same company.[1]
