They claim Phenyl Core does the following:<br />
</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li>&#8220;Increases in physical and mental energy</li>
<li>Increases in calorie- and fat-burning rate (metabolism)</li>
<li>Reductions in waist and hip size</li>
<li>Prevention of body fat re-gain (“re-bounding”)</li>
<li>Improvements in muscle shape and definition</li>
<li>Avoidance of water retention</li>
<li>Control of appetite and hunger</li>
<li>Improvements in exercise tolerance (endurance)&#8221; (website).</li>
</ul>
<p>This Phenyl Core review will explain the ingredients contained in Phenyl Core diet pills to reveal if the claims made by Phenyl Core are legitimate.</p>
<h3>Phenyl Core Ingredients</h3>
<p>NeuroPhen Mood Complex 35 mg</p>
<p>Acacia Rigidula P.E. is included in many diet pills, but there is no evidence that it actually contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/phenylethylamine-review/" >Phenylethylamine </a><span style="x-small;"><span class="seq_span label_ing">is often called the &#8220;love drug&#8221;. It is found in chocolate and is supposed to enhance mood. However, there is no evidence that it directly affects weight loss.<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="x-small;"><span class="seq_span label_ing">N,n-Dimethylphenylamine</span></span></p>
<p><span style="x-small;"><span class="seq_span label_ing">N,n-Dimethyl-B-Phenylethylamine</span></span></p>
<p><span style="x-small;"><span class="seq_span label_ing">3,4-Dimethoxy-5-Hydroxy-B-Phenethylamine</span></span></p>
<p><span style="x-small;"><span class="seq_span label_ing">4-Hydroxy-Phenethylamine (Tyramine)</span></span></p>
<p><span style="x-small;"><span class="seq_span label_ing">Polyphenolic Herbal Catechin 50 mg</span></span></p>
<p><span style="x-small;"><span class="seq_span label_ing">White Tea contains antioxidants; it has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green Tea</a><span style="x-small;"><span class="seq_span label_ing"> is a clinically proven diet pill ingredient. Studies have shown that for green tea to be effective it has to be taken in doses of at least 300 mg per day. Thus, this Phenyl Core review finds there is not enough green tea in Phenyl Core diet pills to be effective.<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="x-small;"><span class="seq_span label_ing">Kuding Tea With 80% Polyphenols</span></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine </a>(anhydrous) 200 mg has been shown to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Infinite Burn Proprietary Complex 115 mg</p>
<p><span style="x-small;"><span class="seq_span label_ing">Hordenine</span></span></p>
<p><span style="x-small;"><span class="seq_span label_ing">Konjac Root is a dietary fiber which is supposed to make you feel full. So, it should keep you from eating too much, possibly leading to weight loss. Studies have not proven this, however.<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="x-small;"><span class="seq_span label_ing">Cissus Quadrangularis Extract (Seeds) has been shown to contribute to weight loss when combined with other ingredients. It has not been studied on its own.<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="x-small;"><span class="seq_span label_ing">Rhodiola Rosea Extract (Root) does not cause weight loss.<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="x-small;"><span class="seq_span label_ing">Dextrose</span></span></p>
<p>The only proven ingredient in an adequate amount is caffeine. You could buy caffeine by itself for a lot less money. We also found it interesting that the ingredients in Phenyl Core are almost identical to those contained in Appuloss, which is another subpar diet pill.</p>
<h3>Phenyl Core Price</h3>
<p>Phenyl Core diet pills cost $32.89 for 100 capsules. If you take the recommended 4 capsules per day, one bottle will last 25 days. While this is an average price for a diet pill, it is too much for this product. As mentioned above, you would get the same results at much less cost if you just bought caffeine by itself.</p>
<h3>Phenyl Core Marketing</h3>
<p>The Phenyl Core website makes it sound as if Phenyl Core is for anyone wishing to shed some pounds. However, their photos show rippling, cut muscles. They are sending mixed messages. Is Pheyl Core supposed to be for regular weight loss or for body building?</p>
<h3>Phenyl Core Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Phyenl Core website has a link to their return policy, but at the time this review was written, the link was not working. We called the customer service line to ask about their guarantee. Apparently they have ONE customer service representative and she was not available to speak with us. What kind of customer service is that?</p>
<h3>Phenyl Core Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Phenyl Core review finds this product is not worth your time or money. Look for a diet pill containing several proven ingredients in proven amounts. Check out our list of diet pill ingredients to see which ones have been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
