Phenamax Review
Phenamax is a diet pill that claims it will help you “Lose up to 25 pounds in 25 days” (website). This Phenamax review finds Phenamax could help you lose weight, but it will not live up to its claims.
Phenamax Ingredients
Citrin (400 mg)
Yerba Mate (400 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but only when combined with Guarana and Damiana. Phenamax does contain Guarana, but it does not contain Damiana. Thus, this Phenamax review finds the Yerba Mate in Phenamax is ineffective.
Green Tea (300 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss when used in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Phenamax does contain enough green tea to cause weight loss.
Guarana (90 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but only when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana. Phenamax does contain Yerba Mate, but it does not contain Damiana. Thus, this Phenamax review finds the Guarana in Phenamax is ineffective.
White Willow Bark (60 mg) supposedly has a thermogenic effect, but further research is needed to substantiate these claims.
Cha de Bugre (15 mg) does not cause weight loss, despite what many diet pill companies claim.
Hordenine (30 mg) has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.
ForsLean (30 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss.
Acacia Gum (50 mg) does not cause weight loss.
Phenamax $1 Trial and Price
Phenamax offers a $1 14-day trial. They hide the details in the fine print. If you don’t cancel within the 14 day window, you will be enrolled in autoship (they automatically send you more product each month and charge your credit card) and you will be charged $69.95. This Phenamax review finds Phenamax diet pills do contain a few proven ingredients in proven amounts, but $69.95 is WAY too expensive for Phenamax. You could buy green tea and ForsLean separately for much less money and get the same results.
Phenamax Guarantee
The Phenamax website states, “If you are not completely satisfied with Phenamax for any reason, simply return all unopened bottles within 30 days from your invoice date and we will refund you the total cost (excluding shipping/handling/restocking-fee).” We really prefer to see 90 days to return a product. Be assured you will need to use this guarantee if you purchase Phenamax.
Phenamax Website
The Phenamax website looks like dozens of others we have seen. The main page is packed with testimonials about green tea. There are no testimonials about Phenamax itself. Also, there is no information about Phenamax diet pills on the main page. It makes me wonder why they are promoting green tea and not their product. We agree that green tea is a great diet pill ingredient, but just because green tea works doesn’t mean Phenamax is a great product.
Phenamax Conclusion
This Phenamax review finds that Phenamax is nothing special. It contains two clinically proven ingredients, but it is very overpriced. We recommend looking for a product that contains several proven ingredients in the appropriate amounts.
