Phenocerin Review

What You Should Know
Phenocerin is a supplement created by Nutritional Labs Sciences, Inc. It is a hoodia based weight loss supplement that claims it can help you lose up to 30 pounds in the first 30 days of continuous use. This product, if it works the way it claims is the answer to dieter’s prayers because it will burn fat, suppress the appetite and increase energy levels. This review will provide you with information about the pill’s ingredients that lead us to believe otherwise.
Ingredients
Though a full list of ingredients for Phenocerin is not available from the manufacturer, the official website lists the following ingredients as part of the Phenocerin formula: Hoodia Gordonii, Chromium Picolinate, Kola Nut, Guarana, Grapefruit, Chinese Ginseng, Chickweed, Almond Nut, Bladderwrack.
Product Features
Hoodia Gordonii is a plant native to Africa and is very commonly used in many diet supplements. It is said that this ingredient will make it possible for people to go longer without food and water without suffering the tired, sluggish effects from the lack of sustenance.
Chromium Picolinate is an ingredient used to help stablize the blood sugar levels and insulin levels. Though there is no direct link between insulin levels and weight loss, it is thought that unstable insulin and blood sugar levels play a role in the ability to lose weight.
Kola Nut is an ingredient used to make some soft drinks. It is thought that it will increase the sex drive and decrease fatigue.
Guarana is a stimulant similar to caffeine that will increase energy levels and may increase the fat burning power of the body.
Grapefruit has high fiber content and a low glycemic index and because of this will help you feel fuller longer and may help with weight loss in that respect.
Chinese Ginseng is traditionally used to help relieve stress and increase the libido of men. How it fits into this weight loss formula, we are not sure.
Chickweed is very high in vitamins and nutrients and has many different medicinal uses, such as a diuretic and laxative to help cleanse the body of toxins.
Almond Nut is a good source of protein and will help lower the levels of bad cholesterol while raising the levels of good cholesterol in the body.
Bladderwrack contains iodine and a form of fiber that can relieve constipation and diarrhea.
Though these ingredients will produce some effect in weight loss and appetite suppression, these ingredients are not strong enough to produce the claimed 30 pounds in 30 days as the product suggests it will be able to do.
Advantages
- This product contains a known appetite suppressant.
- This product contains a known energy booster.
- The official website offers customer testimonials and free trials.
Disadvantages
- This product contains caffeine, which may be bothersome for some people and become dangerous if overused.
- This product costs almost twice what other similar hoodia based products do.
- There is no evidence to support the 30 pounds in 30 days claim.
- There is an unclear return policy.
Conclusion
The fact is that while this supplement does offer some proven ingredients in their formula, it’s not enough to support the product claims. Combining stimulants with appetite suppressants may cause harm to the body. We cannot recommend this product.
