Phenocal review

What is Phenocal?

Phenocal is a diet pill that claims to suppress the appetite, burn fat, stimulate the digestive system, increase energy, and it guarantees that you will lose weight while on it.

Looking at Phenocal’s list of ingredients, and it’s easy to see why some of these claims might be true.

Phenocal ingredients

They key ingredients that make up Phenocal are:

Green Tea
Glucomannan
Yerba Mate
Coleus Forskohlii
Cocoa Extract
7-keto-DHEA
5-HTP

While there may be just 1 or 2 of these ingredients that sound even vaguely familiar, there is one ingredient in Phenocal that is not listed above and it is this ingredient that gets most people’s attention when first comparing diet pills.

This ingredient is Hoodia and because Hoodia has been proven to be an exceptionally effective weight loss supplement, some people may be led to believe that Phenocal works just as well.

The fact is that Phenocal is one of many products that claim to have Hoodia within it however, products that contain true Hoodia come with a certificate of authentication and Phenocal does not. Therefore the fact that there are claims of Hoodia being one of this drug’s ingredients, don’t base your choice solely on that fact alone.

Phenocal – ineffective amount of ingredients

When considering the other ingredients such as Green Tea, it’s easy to see why Phenocal would give you energy however a simple increase in energy alone will not help you lose weight. Many of the ingredients have also been tested as weight loss ingredients and many, if not all, of them have proven to be very successful.

The problem is not the list of ingredients but the amount of ingredients that are used within the pill. The amounts of these effective ingredients are simply too small to be considered effective and therefore, will not work. What makes up the rest of the pill are filler vitamins and minerals, which you could get from a multivitamin.

Phenocal side effects

Phenocal also boasts itself to be an all-natural product and while this claim is true, it’s misleading to think that there will be no side effects simply because of the natural ingredients.

Some of the side effects include:

a feeling of jitteriness or nervousness
inability to sleep
bursts of energy followed by periods of extreme tiredness
nausea or vomiting
headaches

The most common side effect found when using Phenocal is an extreme increase of energy. It is this side effect which may actually be the only advantage to taking this pill.

Phenocal – not as effective as they claim to be

Phenocal’s website promises to "give you the power to change your life" and has an impressive list of results that you will see when using the diet pill. However, this drug has not been proven as an effective weight loss supplement.

The largest benefit that Phenocal has is that it does give you an immense amount of energy and this could be used in exercise, which would ultimately help you lose weight. However, not everyone feels the increased energy levels and many find that it’s not enough to make the high price tag that also comes with this drug worth it.
