Do you wish you had a rocking beach body? Is the mirror your enemy because you don’t like what you see? Do you feel fat flabby and out of shape? Are your love handles and excess fat getting you down?

These are some of the questions that Phenocal claims it can address for you.

They say that their:

Powerful weight loss formula can be felt almost immediately.

They also state that:

This product will maximize your fat burning results while providing increased energy and improved alertness throughout the day.

Sounds like some sort of miracle! Let’s have a look if there is anything to backup their claims.

Read our Phenocal review.

Phenocal is dietary supplement pill. It is marketed as a powerful, all natural, maximum strength fat burner¹.

It is also claimed to be the number one rated weight loss product. There is no indication where this rating came from.

The company that makes this pill is Pharmaxa Labs. Their mission is:

to produce the most effective scientifically advanced formulas available today

They produce a range of dietary supplements.

Time to see what is in Phenocal.

Phenocal contains:

B Vitamins

Some of these in this product are over double the recommended daily dose. This may contribute to the development of obesity. They also play a role in the release of energy from the foods that we eat ².

Biotin

This is a B vitamin. May improve hair, nail and skin health. It is however felt that further study is necessary.

Chromium Picolinate

Some studies indicate this may help reduce hunger, cravings and binge eating in some people. It may not be effective in promoting meaningful weight loss if you are overweight or obese. It may be even less effective if you are not overweight, even when combined with exercise³.

Folic Acid

This is another B vitamin. Excess folic acid may contribute to weight gain⁴.

Fucoxanthin

This is found in brown seaweed. It is the pigment responsible for its color. One study showed that it may benefit weight loss when combined with pomegranate seed oil⁵.

Glucomannan

This is a water soluble fiber derived from the Konjac Plant. There have been numerous studies on this ingredient that have reached inconclusive results. They suggest that glucomannan intake does not generate statistically significant weight loss⁶.

Cocoa Extract

This has health benefits and may help weight loss⁷.

Hoodia Gordinii

This may work as an appetite suppressant. It also may be toxic⁸.

Green Tea Leaf Extract

This may help with weight loss. It does not appear to have a significant effect⁹.

5 HTP (Hydroxyptophan)

This is is often used as a supplement to boost serotonin levels. Serotonin is used by the brain to regulate mood, appetite and other important functions. It may help suppress appetite. It may also have some serious side effects¹⁰.

Bioperine

This is a proprietary product from Sabinsa Corporation. It is an extract of black pepper. It is a bioavailability enhancer. This means it may help the other ingredients enter the bloodstream.

CLA

This is conjugated linoleic acid. It may help reduce body fat¹¹.

The company stance is that Phenocal will speed up your metabolism. They believe that this is the key to weight loss success. They claim that their product will:

Reduce your overall caloric intake and uncover the willpower to cut out diet-killing binges of fatty, sugary, or starchy foods, find a whole new level of energy, and boost your metabolism.

There has been no clinical study on the efficacy of Phenocal.

Your metabolism is a very individual thing. The inference on the company website is that your metabolic rate plays a role in body size and fat storage. It does, but that does not mean that larger people have a slower metabolic rate.

You gain weight when you eat more calories than you burn. Or burn fewer calories than you eat.

There may be some health benefits from the individual ingredients. Some may have a small effect on weight loss.

There are no listed side effects.

Phenocal do warn that you should consult a physician before use.

It should not be used by pregnant or nursing women. They also warn it contains caffeine.

Kyle Smith writes in his Phenocal review:

Since I have received Phenocal, I have been using it daily. It’s been about 2 weeks now and I have lost approximately 9 lbs. You have to be dedicated in order for this product to work. Dedication is important. I love this product because of the fact that when I take it, I do not have the urge to eat constantly. I recommend taking one in the morning and one after lunch (the afternoon cravings were my worst) I feel more energized through the day and I have a better exercise performance. I am very pleased with the results

It does not work for everyone.

Gus writes:

It was a waste of money. Bought it mainly to curb my appetite but it didn’t work. Don’t recommend it to anyone.

Some people report that they have gained weight using Phenocal.

Sophie writes:

This is my second bottle. It didn’t do anything for me but made me gained 5 lbs. I worked out and watch my calorie intake, I often feel really tired.

Is Phenocal going to give you a rocking beach body?

Will it get rid of your love handles and fat?

Probably not!

Some may increase your metabolism and suppress your appetite. It appears though that the effect from these is minimal.

Phenocal does work for some people.
