Phenocal™ is a B-complex supplement marketed as ‘fat burner’. Sure, it has some good appetite controlling ingredients in it. However, calling it as ‘fat burner’ or naming after famous “Phen’ is a real shame!

Why the note above?
Phenocal™ is a US registered trademark with serial number 4257419. In the past, Phenocal’s parent company (currently Medmark LLC) have tried to suppress freedom of speech through legal notices and intimidation. They sent copyright violation notices to independent bloggers and discussion forum owners just for using their trademarked name!
Shockingly, they even sent DMCA violation notices to Google to remove all the negative reviews which appeared on Google search result. You can check all the notices on Lumen Database
What is Phenocal and Who is Behind It?
According to its official website, Phenocal is a maximum strength diet pill that burns fat, turbo charges metabolism, and suppresses appetite. It’s made from natural ingredients that allow you to lose weight the safe way.
Phenocal is made by a company called Pharmaxa Labs that’s which claims to be a reputed company. It produces scientifically advanced formulas that help people achieve ultimate health. The experts behind Pharmaxa Labs are health and medical professionals who work hand in hand to ensure that you get the best of what nature has to offer.
Although they are in business for many years, I could not find their physical address. They provide a telephone number on website for order related help only.
They adhere to the strictest rules and the best work ethics because they believe that you’re wellbeing is a priority. With the FDA and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) stamp on their brand, you can bet that you need not worry about the quality of the products you get.
Kindly don’t get confused by the name ‘Phen’ in Phenocal. Phetermine is a strong appetite controller which aids quick weight loss, but can cause side effects. Please read this article about Phentermine here.
The Science Behind Phenocal
Phenocal is a combination of natural ingredients that have been carefully measured and tested so that you lose weight the safest and quickest way. The most notable components of the diet pill come from nature and have proven to make you lose weight without the usual hassle and stress.
Some people gain weight due to nutritional deficiency. Vitamin B1-B2 (B-complex) plays vital role in your weight and overall health.
Ingredients and Composition of Phenocal
Phenocal uses proprietary blend formula to hide exact nutritional value, Why? So that greedy competitor can’t copy their superior formula and milk moolah by copycatting everything! This logic makes sense for most concerned marketers, but not me.
Independent researchers like me can’t thoroughly analyze each ingredient and make judgement. Yet, for potential users like you, the Amazon solves the problem. There are sufficient ‘verified buyers reviews’ on Amazon marketplace.
Real Customer Reviews
As of writing this review article, I can find total number of 79 reviews on Amazon. Out of it 38% customers have given it 4 to 5-star rating. Is that a good sign? Not exactly
Phenocal customer rating feedback. source: amazon.com
55% customers have left 1 to 2 star ratings. That clearly suggests that more than 50% customers did not like the product. I think this information is enough to any potential customers to make a purchase decision.

Does Phenocal Have Any Side Effects?
Unlike most diet pills, Phenocal is a nutritional supplement and therefore safe for your body. It has no caffeine or other stimulants. Surprisingly some users have reported that they felt shakiness and dizziness.
What causes side effect in otherwise safe fat burner?
The proprietary blend has an interesting ingredient called ‘fucoxanthin’ which is extracted from brown seaweeds. This is probably the only ingredient that can cause fat metabolism (and side effect) when you take Phenocal. However, research says that, one must take 5mg daily for 5-16 weeks to see any noticeable fat loss effect. [ref]
How is Phenocal Effective for Your Weight Loss?
This diet pill is extremely helpful as a source of multivitamins and may aid in weight management. However, if you want to shed off those extra pounds quickly, you better look elsewhere. Hey, B-complex supplements are very cheap. You can buy it from local med shops without prescription.
What is the refund policy?
They have a bizarre money back policy which makes it almost impossible to get refund. To get refund you must call the helpline number and get Return Authorization Number (RAN). Then pack all the used and unused portions including original box & packing material. [ref]
If you fail to return original packing materials, you won’t get refund. This policy is nothing but a ‘scam’ trap. If you are a ‘hopeful returner’, then better don’t buy at all.
How much does it cost?
On Amazon one-unit costs $59.9 to $78 depending on sellers. On official website Phenocal.com you can buy it for about $40. I don’t know why there is so much of pricing difference.
Conclusion: Kiss-worthy or Kick-worthy?
I have highlighted all the pros and cons already. For me, it doesn’t make sense to spend so much of money for a multi-vitamin supplement. Google is still not showing lots of legitimate reviews and real customer feedbacks posted on discussion forums/blogs in their search result. Perhaps, all those DMCA notices played a role (?)
