Review
Summary |
Herbal Phentermine is a weight loss supplement manufactured by Ultra Herbal that the company claims is 100 percent natural. It contains “thermogenic ingredients” that “speed up the body’s metabolism” and does not contain the infamous ephreda, ephredine, or Ma Huang. We agree that it is best to look for supplements without these ingredients, as well, since they have been known to have mild to severe adverse effects in people.
|
 | Ingredients At A Glance |
|
We will examine Herbal Phentermine to determine its effectiveness on a weight management program. Herbal Phentermine claims to be an “all in one” appetite suppressant, metabolism booster, fat burner and energy enhancer. It contains L-Carnitine, Green Tea, Camellia Sinensis, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Bioperine and Piper Nigrum, and Biotin.
L-Carnitine, Camellia Sinensis, Bioperine and Piper Nigrum and Biotin serve as metabolism boosters and fat burners. Ultra Herbal claims that the Camellia Sinensis is key to cleaning out the system and neutralizing free radicals, as it is “over 200 times more powerful than Vitamin E.” The Vitamin B in Biotin helps to increase energy while protecting the central nervous system.
Herbal Phentermine also contains Green Tea, but we believe it is not necessary to include Green Tea in dietary supplements due the negative effects that are known to occur in caffeine-laden products.
|
 | Ingredients In Focus |
|
It is reassuring that Ultra Herbal has done its research, as there are 18 references from different studies on the ingredients in their products. They cite nine studies on L-carnitine for dementia from 2003, resulting in a confirmation that the ingredient improves mental agility and slow down the aging process, while increasing energy and burning fat.
Another study cited supports the ability of the ingredient to burn calories and unwanted fat cells through the thermogenic process. In addition, Ultra Herbal claims that the Camellia Sinensis is key to cleaning out the system and neutralizing free radicals, as it is “over 200 times more powerful than Vitamin E.”
But, we still recommend a product that is sans Green Tea. Caffeine-based products are not the ideal, in our viewpoint, when it comes to weight loss.
|
 | Diet Lifestyle |
|
The recommended usage of Ultra Herbal’s Herbal Phentermine is one tablet in the morning and one tablet in the afternoon. They suggest if you have trouble sleeping at night to reduce dosage to one tablet per day. This, in our viewpoint, is due to the inclusion of caffeine in the form of Green Tea in the product. We believe that there are dietary supplements on the market that do not contain caffeine that are effective without having the negative effects of caffeine.

 | Positives |
|
• Has testimonials on the site
|
 | Negatives |
|
• Contains caffeine
• May cause insomnia for some
• Refers to doctor’s visit as embarrassing where most companies encourage potential buyers to check with professionals before use
|
 | Final Thoughts |
|
In the end, the name “Herbal Phentermine”, suggests it is an herbal alternative to the traditional prescription-based Phentermine. It gives detailed descriptions of the ingredients used in this herbal formula, but it does not compare these with the ingredients in the prescription-based Phentermine. This would be needed to give a fair analysis of which product is more effective, especially since it claims that “Prescription Phentermine can cause Dry mouth, sleeplessness, irritability, stomach upset, painful urination . “
In the end, we believe that any dietary supplement with caffeine is unnecessary. Instead, we suggest an herbal blend of ingredients that are known to aid in weight loss and increased metabolism, along with Hoodia and the patented form of Bitter Orange, Advantra-Z, is an effective combination for a dietary supplement. Seek products that offer free samples to determine if they are right for you.
