Fentraphen Review
What You Should Know
Fentraphen is a diet aid which claims to be an alternative to the prescription drug Phentermine. The proprietary blend of synephrine and phenylethylamine is designed to turn up metabolism, decrease stress and elevate mood, aid in appetite control, and promote better sleep. Synephrine is in the same chemical family as Ephedra, which was a popular weight loss ingredient until it was banned over health concerns. Many people claim that Synephrine has the same powerful effects without complications. Phenylethylamine is often referred to as a Love Drug, it is the chemical compound in chocolate which supposedly elevates mood. Fentraphen comes in capsule form to be taken twice a day, 30 minutes before breakfast and lunch, with water.
List of Ingredients
Synephrine HCL, Phenylethylamine HCL, Chromium Polynicolinate, Vitamin B-12.
Product Features
Fentraphen is a relatively new weight loss aid which has received a good deal of coverage; it has created an especially strong buzz online where numerous product reviews mention it as an alternative to the prescription drug Phentermine. There are a number of reasons for the comparison. Fentraphen, a non prescription all natural supplement, sounds very similar to to Phentermine, a prescription strength amphetamine. The marketing for Fentraphen makes a great deal of the 37.5mg dosage of its proprietary blend, the same dosage amount that is in Phentermine tablets. The official website for Fentraphen even calls it a legal alternative to Phentermine. But there is no scientific evidence that the two ingredients in FentraphenÃs blend will have an effect anything like the prescription strength amphetamine Phentermine Hydrochloride, the only ingredient in Phentermine. Because the 37.5mg dosage of the proprietary blend is not broken down it is difficult to tell if Fentraphen contains enough of either ingredient to be effective. Some online reviews mention having to double the dose to see results. At a list price of $120 for a 60 tablet bottle, that route could get expensive quickly.

Conclusion
Fentraphen is a new product on the weight loss market and there is little actual clinical data to confirm whether or not it is effective and safe. It has been compared to the prescription drug Phentermine, a known diet aid; however, as most of those making the comparison are also trying to sell the product the hype has to be taken with a bit of skepticism. Customers have had mixed results, both with actual weight lost and with uncomfortable side effects. Until more is known about Fentraphen consumers may wish to seek out a better established product which can back up its claims of effectiveness and safety.
