Fenphedra is a product that takes a bit of a gamble with its marketing strategy. Its name is very similar to that of an ingredient no longer used due to having been found to cause harmful side effects. But while that ingredient was potentially dangerous, the fact remains that it was also highly effective at helping people to lose weight. The makers of Fenphedra seem to be banking on the hope that people will associate the effective aspects with their drug,which does operate on a similar philosophy of weight loss.
The philosophy of weight loss behind Fenphedra is one that portrays a battle in the brain between “good” hormones and stimulants that encourage appetite suppression and higher metabolism with “bad” hormones that increase the appetite and slow down the metabolism. This drug contains ingredients that fight the battle on both sides. Its first ingredient is a proprietary blend known as CART: Coco Extract Regulatory Transcript. Despite its alarming name, it contains no caffeine, but instead contains DiCaffeine Malate, a Coco alternative; chocomine, an extract of the cocoa plant; phenylethylamine, another compound found in chocolate; Synephrine HCI, which is a safer chemical. It also contains NPY, a compound designed to soothe the user and to inhibit the production of neuropeptide-y, a hormone triggered by stress that increases appetite and slows down the metabolism. NPY is made of Humulus Lupulus, which is made from hops.
While Fenphedra has a few advantages, it also has several disadvantages. Its advantages include its lifetime guarantee, its easy-to-navigate website, and the fact that some of its ingredients have been proven to work in clinical trials. But there are quite a few disadvantages, such as the fact that some users have reported dizziness and fatigue as side effects, its manufacturer is a mystery, the lack of clinical evidence to support its philosophy of weight loss, the lack of customer testimonials, and the failure of the company to encourage its use in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise.
