Phenocal

What is Phenocal?

Phenocal is a diet pill from Global Nutrition Center that claims its “ingredients are clinically proven to help you lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle.”  Of the many diet pills I have seen, this appears to be one of the more “hyped” in its advertising.  Strangely, the more hype a diet pill has around it, the crappier it is in most cases.  Let’s see if the trend applies here…

Phenocal Ingredients

The more notable ingredients in Phenocal include the ever-popular GreenTea, Glucomannan, Yerba Mate, Coleus Forskohlii, Cocoa extract, 7-keto-DHEA, and 5-HTP.  Amazingly enough, these are fantastic ingredients and it is true that several of them have been shown in studies to be effective in weight loss.

The kicker?  Well, the concentrations that were used in the studies that showed the in’redients’ effectiveness were much higher than the amounts included in Phenocal which means that you miss out on the real effect of the ingredients but the company still gets to charge you $55 for the product!    

The Phenocal Goods

• A number of great ingredients

The Phenocal Bads

• Low ingredient concentrations
• Misleading advertising
• No satisfaction guarantee

What I would recommend is that you look for products that contain a number of these ingredients, but in the right concentrations.  There are always products like this that put token amounts of effective ingredients and then charge as is if it were the cure for cancer.  I do not recommend Phenocal.
