Phenocal Review - How Well Does It Work?

For many overweight Americans, the battle with their ever expanding waist-lines didn't begin with great fanfare. Too many long work hours and fast food dinners has led to a gradual increase in weight gain and, eventually, a weight problem with serious health risks.

Within weeks, some of those pudgy Americans may reach for Phenocal, the over-the-counter weight loss aid for overweight adults.

The manufacturer, Pharmaxa Labs, has been strategically laying the groundwork for the launch of the product in July. Copies of the self-help lifestyle program will accompany packages of Phenocal as the diet pill goes on sale nationwide.

This new weight loss product claims to increase energy levels, boost metabolism, suppress and control appetite, reduce unhealthy food cravings, and maximize diet and exercise results among others. On top of that, it boasts of being a natural, safe and effective weight loss supplement. Can it work for you?

The foundation of Phenocal is composed of an impressive core profile of fat burning and metabolic enhancing ingredients. The product contains 250 mg of Hoodia Gordinii, a plant that has been used by African bushmen for over 20,000 years to reduce hunger and give them the energy for long desert trips. Hoodia's potential as an anti-obesity drug is so strong that it even attracted Pfizer who had plans of synthesizing its active ingredients.

Phenocal also contains 250 mg of Green Tea extract whose health benefits have been recognized in China for the past 5,000 years. Aside from burning fat as reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, green tea can also increase your energy and curb your appetite. Green tea is a positive addition to any fat burner because it's ability to elevate the metabolism and inhibit the action of the enzyme amylase.

Then there's garcinia cambogia, a yellowish pumpkin shaped fruit found in India and parts of Asia. This is the source of hydroxycitric acid (HCA) that is found in many weight loss products. As reported in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry, extensive animal studies have shown that HCA suppresses appetite and enhances fat-burning. This is due to the fact that HCA inhibits an enzyme called citrate lyase that helps turn excess carbohydrates into fat. By inhibiting this enzyme, the body speeds up carbohydrate oxidation, meaning more carbs are burned.

Phenocal likewise contains 7-keto-DHEA, a safe alternative to the controversial drug DHEA that has been linked to cancer. Dr. Henry Lardy of the University of Wisconsin Department of Biochemistry said 7-keto is more potent than DHEA in stimulating liver enzymes responsible for thermogenesis (burning calories) without the nasty side effects of the latter. Recent studies show that 7-keto also increased the activity of enzymes associated with metabolism, causing a dramatic impact in the way calories are burned. The University of Illinois Medical Center at Chicago said that in one clinical trial involving healthy subjects with an average age of 44 years who were given a high-calorie diet, the group who received 100 milligrams of 7-keto twice daily lost a significant amount of weight and body fat in four to eight weeks.

Glucomannan's role in weight loss is well established. In one study published in the International Journal of Obesity, 20 obese patients who received two 500-milligram tablets of glucomannan daily prior to each of the three meals who didn't change their eating or exercise habits lost an average of over 5 pounds over an eight-week period. Serum cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were also significantly reduced and no adverse reactions were reported.

There's no magic bullet for losing weight. Eat healthier, low-calorie foods, watch portion sizes, and engage in regular physical activity. While other diet products rely mainly on slick marketing techniques, sexy bodies, and a classy image to sell, Phenocal's strength lies in its solid proprietary base blend of ingredients. This product is not for everyone though. The product should not be used by adolescents less than 18 years of age. Also, the product appears to be best suited for those who are significantly overweight.
