CritiCalorie's Top Diet Pill Pick
Do we ever rate a diet pill positively?. Yes (rarely). Why aren't we recommending Phenterfein? We're looking for clinically-researched ingredients, at the right (that means clinical) dosage. There are a few diet pills that have chosen this better route, and our favorite is Apidexin. You can read our review or go to the official site.
Phenterfein Review
Phenterfein is a diet pill which is “regarded by experts as the #1 diet pill in the world” (website). This Phenterfein review will separate the fact from the fiction to help you see what Phenterfein diet pills might really do for you.
Phenterfein Ingredients
The Phenterfein website claims “We MAXED out how much of each ingredient we could legally and safely put into each serving.” The following is a list of ingredients found in Phenterfein diet pills.
Thiamin 5 mg
Pantothenic Acid 5 mg
Niacin 5 mg
Vitamin B-6 250 mcg
Vitamin B-12 20 mcg
Glucuronolactone 182.5 mg
L-Tyrosine 150 mg
Rhodiola Rosea 100 mg
L-Taurine 100 mg
Citrus Aurantium 10% extract 50 mg
Caffeine 100 mg
Octopamine hcl 50 mg
Evodia Extract 45 mg
Salvia Sclarea Extract 20 mg
Yohimbine 8% Extract 12.5 mg
Vinpocetine 3 mg
Thiamin, Pantothenic acid, Niacin, Vitamin B-6, and Vitamin B-12 all have healthy benefits, but none of them has been shown to contribute to weight loss.
L-Tyrosine is a clinically proven ingredient which contributes to weight loss. However, studies show that tyrosine is only effective at a dose of 500-1500 mg per day. This Phenterfein review finds there is not enough tyrosine in Phenterfein to be effective.
Citrus Aurantium contains Synephrine, which has been clinically proven to contribute to weight loss. With Synephrine, you want to look at the concentration–the higher the concentration the better. Unfortunately, Phenterfein fails to list the concentration of the Synephrine; thus, it is impossible to know if it will be effective.
Caffeine is another clinically proven ingredient. Studies have shown it is only effective in doses of 300 mg per day. Thus, again, there is not enough caffeine in Phenterfein to be effective.
Octopamine is very popular right now because it is supposed to mobilize the release of fat in fat cells. However, the fat is absorbed by other cells. There is no clinical research to show Octopamine contributes to weight loss.
Evodia causes weight loss in mice. No human research has been done.
Yohimbine contributes to weight loss by mobilizing fatty acid.
Vinpocetine is used to treat age-related memory problems. It does not contribute to weight loss.
Phenterfein Cost
You can get a bottle of 120 capsules of Phenterfein for $79.99 (which is supposedly a 50% savings). If you take the recommended 6 capsules per day, one bottle will last 20 days. This is EXTREMELY expensive for a diet pill, especially one that does not include enough of the proven ingredients to be effective. The Phenterfein website claims, “We have limited supplies of Phenterfein. This will be our last week of selling Phenterfein for 50% off.” I doubt this is true. You will probably find this same claim on the website next month.
Phenterfein Customer Service and Guarantee
The Phenterfein website is one of the most interesting diet pill websites I have seen yet (and that is saying A LOT)! They have typical outrageous claims and unbelievable testimonials. What makes the site so different is that there is NO contact information for the company. There is no phone number, email address, or company mailing address. So, of course, there is no guarantee for Phenterfein diet pills. That should be enough of a red flag by itself to keep anyone from buying Phenterfein.
Phenterfein Conclusion
This Phenterfein review finds that Phenterfein is all about appearance. They include several clinically proven ingredients, but they do not include enough of any ingredient to be effective. There is no guarantee and not even a way to contact the company. Don’t waste your time on Phenterfein. Check out our recommended diet pills to find one that might work for you.
