Most of Nutrex products have received positive reviews by consumers on sites such as www.reviews.bodybuilding.com, www.illpumpyouup.com and www.supplementcritic.com. However, there are consumers that were unhappy and did not achieve the results they expected. Informal reviews may not be the most objective source of information since there is no verification if the product was taken according to guidelines. The site and products do state that the products are not miracle cures to muscle improvement and weight loss. A person much have a healthy diet and engage in exercise to realize significant health improvement. Nutrex's most popular product, Lipo 6, was recalled by the Australian government in October 2008 due to traces of yohimbine, a prescription medicine in the U.S. that has been shown to be an effective treatment for male impotence. However, a 2006 study published on the National Center for Biotechnology Information website of twenty soccer players taking Yohimbine found no side effects and that it did help to reduce body fat mass, but not body mass or athletic performance.
