Fentraphen Review
Every once in a while (and sometimes, it really is a long while) I review a diet pill that I can actually support. Sure, there are a few things I’d maybe change about the marketing approach (like the almost-naked woman at the top of the Fentraphen site), but as for the actual formulation of Fentraphen? I like it. I actually like it.
What Impressed me first with Fentraphen was their Guarantee
Honestly, my first impression was helped a ton by the fact that Fentraphen offers a 90-day moneyback guarantee. The norm in the diet pill industry is 30 days. The reason 30 days works so well for a diet pill guarantee is because a lot of times, consumers will patiently wait to see if their diet pill actually works. When it doesn’t, they’re already past the 30-day guarantee. And when you have certain companies that never answer their emails (I mention this annoyance in many reviews quite often), it makes it even harder to get your moneyback.
Fentraphen does it differently — giving you 90 days to give the product a test run. I like that.
Guarantees are everywhere in the diet pill industry — but 90 days? This is a first.
Is Fentraphen an Alternative to Phentermine?
Fentraphen contains Synephrine and Phenylethylamine. These two in combination probably pose the best alternative to Phentermine that does not require a prescription. Let’s dig into the ingredients of Fentraphen.
Fentraphen’s Ingredients
- Synephrine is a stimulant that has been clinically proven as effective in weight loss. It is the active ingredient in Citrus Aurantium (also called “Bitter Orange”) and has been used as a stimulant for quite some time. A more in-depth review of Synephrine is available. The short of it is that Synephrine is one ingredient shown to work (there are plenty of ingredients included in diet pills that don’t).
- Phenethylamine is known as the “Love Drug”. I do think there needs to be more research specifically with Phenylethylamine to show it’s purported calming effects, but will leave this one for you to decide. You can read my review of Phenylethylamine for more information if you’d like.
- Chromium Picolinate is slowly gaining traction. It’s used to help regulate insulin levels, which will aid fat loss. There are studies supporting Chromium picolinate’s use in fat loss, but some studies showing no statistically significant results. I’m leaning more the direction of it being effective, since the studies deeming it effective have been more recent and are more in number (at least at the time of this writing). My review of Chromium Picolinate goes into more detail about this issue. I like the fact that Fentraphen has included it in their formula.
- Vitamin B-12 helps aid overall health. I wouldn’t lean on it for any weight loss results.
You’ll notice that Fentraphen does not contain any caffeine. If you get jittery from caffeine (which is actually a very effective weight loss stimulant) then Fentraphen may be your ticket. The Synephrine is a great stimulant, but doesn’t cause the jitters that may accompany caffeine supplementation.
Fentraphen’s Price
Fentraphen isn’t the cheapest diet pill around, the main reason being that they actually include the necessary amount of Synephrine to make the diet pill work. It’s still reasonably priced when you look at other comparables that I like (Fenphedra and Ephedrasil Hardcore).
The one thing you don’t want to do is just shop for the cheapest price. Then you’d get something like Miracleburn or Alli…and you wouldn’t lose a pound of weight.
Fentraphen Overall Conclusion
This is one of those rare times, when I actually like a diet pill that I review. Fentraphen stands above the rest with its effective ingredient profile and 90-day guarantee. I don’t have any qualms about recommending it.

Does this pill have any side affects like pain in your chest?

Penny,
I haven’t read of any chest pain side effects specifically, but different people will react differently. A google search for Fentraphen side effects should provide you a decent amount of info.

I’ve used this product without fail since May 2nd, precisely one month. It is difficult to say whether or not this product is working, and if it is, its quite slow. I track by date when i start any new supplement, as well as document any physical or mental changes. I also track my body fat , weight and measurements on a weekly basis. At the start I was 166 lbs, 17% bodyfat with a waist measured around navel of 37.8.
Today I 160 with 15.5% bodyfat and a waist of 36.5. However, prior to start Fentraphen I was already losing 2-6 lbs a week for 5 weeks straight using my Low carb/low calorie diet.
Since the past week, I have no change in body composition, and I would of hoped this fat burner would of helped me get passed a plateau, but it seems to not be working as far as additional results that I was already having.
Its pretty frustrating actually, but tell you what. I do have this 90 day money back guarantee. I’m willing to wait another week or 2 to see what happens. Its pretty pricey for me, and I’ve actually had better results using Lean System 7, which I agree has “proprietary blends” and should be criticized for.
I check my heart rate when I run, and it gets regularly pushed up to 210 bpm on some runs, while some days I’ll safely be in the 185 zone (still pretty high for a 29 year old). Then on other days I won’t have much of a heart rate boost. During resting periods, there seems to be no effect as far as body heat, additional heart rate increase, diuretic effects or stress associated with taking high caffeine in most fat burners. I don’t know if its safe to be that high of a heart rate, nor should it would be better if I was hot all the time. It seems some fat burners are effective that way if heart rate is more controlled but overall the body is hot. I remember literally burning up 8 lbs a week using Ephedrine Caffeine aspirin stack and which, I was hot all the time. I could use that again, but not sure if I’ll risk my health. I’m debating on it.
I’ll keep you updated on my progress. I need to lose about 12-15 lbs to be around 7% bodyfat. For now, It looks like i’ll need to contact the guarantee claim.
This site actually helped me in purchasing this product.
Thank you.
