Herbal Phentermine: Its Flaws and Benefits
For those who do not like chemically developed pills, Herbal Phentermine might be a great solution. It is a non-prescription diet pill which suppresses appetite and is claimed to be absolutely safe and natural.
The official website states that Herbal Phentermine is based on well-know herbs which help to lose weight: Hoodia Extract, Guarana Extract, Green Tea, ALA and some others. The herbs calm down hunger and slowly increase metabolic rate which allows burning more calories than ever.
Although the manufacturer asks to pay attention to the herbal/natural part of the medicine and explains that it is “made especially to emulate the positives alone of the prescription Phentermine version meanwhile eliminating its side effects”, it is important to think about the other part of “prescription” pills.
It definitely sounds good if a patient does not need to go to a doctor for a prescription and when the treatment is not based on chemicals, but in order to become a prescription diet pill, Phentermine had to go through a lot of testing and become approved by FDA. This also means that the diet pill has been accepted as a safe and effective medication.
At the same time non-prescription pills do not require approval. So the medications might not even go through the necessary minimum of testing. It is even more typical for pills with herbs because they are not even considered as drugs, but as food supplements. As a result, the manufacturers can say almost anything they want without presenting a significant proof of their words. Surely there is the Federal Trade Commission, which deals with complains about various products, but there are still hundreds and even thousands of products which go by without troubles and fixing.
All of this is said about herbal products in general. It does not mean that Herbal Phentermine does not work or that the manufacturer’s claims are fake. However, it is unreasonable to say that prescription version is not as strong and the herbal one, because the pills did not go through the same testing.
However, there are some ingredients in the Herbal Phentermine which are known for good weight loss features. First of all it is green tea which provides weight loss mainly by caffeine known as a great fat burner. Green tea or its extract also increases metabolic rate, and makes the calories burn faster and in greater amounts. Some studies have shown that green tea inhibited fatty acid synthase, i.e. it interfered into the process of carbohydrates turning into fat.
Another great ingredient of Herbal Phentermine is alpha-lipoic acid also known as ALA. It is a powerful antioxidant with no known side-effects. ALA reduces glucose levels in the body and provides weight loss with the proper balance of blood sugar.
Before starting the use of Herbal Phentermine the patient should also consider such ingredients as Hoodia: while some claim it as a powerful weight loss herb extract, the others warn against it.
