PhenQ is a supplement, which comes from the mix of carefully selected ingredients designed for the weight loss process. These ingredients are used in the right quantities to help you reach your goals.
It is a supplement that stimulates some processes that we will talk about below, to help you burn more fat and therefore lose weight.
Even if the manufacturers guarantee the effectiveness and also the absence of side effects, it is always a drug, so care must be taken when taking it.
In particular, it is not recommended for use by pregnant and breastfeeding women.
As for diabetics, even if the manufacturers assure great effectiveness, it is still advisable to consult a doctor. All those suffering from diseases of any kind should always discuss the intake of any type of medicine or supplement with their doctor; but we will deepen this aspect in the next paragraphs. What is

- Who is PhenQ for
PhenQ allows you to act on the metabolism by inducing thermogenesis, which is a process whereby heat is generated inside your body.
Here is where thermogenesis can be linked to your weight loss process:
Canadian research results have shown that there are two types of thermogenesis: compulsory and optional thermogenesis.
In mandatory thermogenesis, the body produces heat as a result of routine bodily processes such as digestion, breathing, and so on.
Facultative thermogenesis is a type of inducible thermogenesis. It can be induced or suppressed by the body and can be used as a means of calorie expenditure.
Facultative thermogenesis produces heat by harnessing the body’s energy reserves. Energy comes from reserves such as glycogen and fat. How Thermogenesis Affects the Weight Loss Process
Diet-induced thermogenesis accounts for 15% of the total resting metabolic rate (RMR) in lean individuals. This level drops to 8% in overweight individuals.
Studies have shown that even a single dose of a thermogenic supplement can cause a dramatic increase in RMR. Furthermore, the RMR remains elevated even 3 hours after consuming thermogenic supplements.
The increase in RMR after ingesting thermogenic supplements can increase by up to 9%. The increase in RMR is maximum up to 180 minutes after the
PhenQ is a combination of powerful thermogenic ingredients. These include α-Lacys Reset® (a blend of ALA and cysteine), Capsimax (a blend of capsicum, piperine, caffeine and niacin, vitamin b3), caffeine and L-carnitine. The other processes
Your eating habits are largely controlled by the so-called hunger hormones. Many hormones are included in this category, but leptin and ghrelin are the main players.
Leptin is a hormone released by fat cells and the intestines and helps reduce appetite. Ghrelin, on the other hand, is released from the stomach and intestines and increases appetite.
An imbalance of these hormones, i.e. a decrease in leptin levels and an increase in ghrelin levels leads to increased food consumption and obesity.
Clearing this imbalance is a potential way to promote the weight loss process.
PhenQ allows the body to achieve hormone balance through a mix of ingredients including caffeine, chromium and nopal. PhenQ’s Influence on Water Retention
As explained above, water loss is an important aspect of weight loss.
Thanks to the high fiber content, Nopal will help you eliminate excess fluids from your body. The action on the metabolism
When it comes to weight loss, body fat reduction comes from two main mechanisms. The first involves an increase in fat breakdown by inducing fat oxidation and lipolysis. The second method involves a reduction in the amount of fat accumulation in the body.
PhenQ aims to influence both of these mechanisms through ingredients such as α-Lacys Reset, capsimax, caffeine, nopal and L-carnitine. The composition of PhenQ
Let’s take a look at the substances that are synthesized in the PhenQ formula. α-LACYS RESET®
Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is the main active ingredient of α-Lacys Reset®.
The results of a meta-analysis at Yale University US showed that ALA leads to statistically significant weight loss due to its effects on improving metabolism, reducing insulin resistance and inhibiting inflammation.
Additionally, ALA appears to be a powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory substance, which helps fight diabetic polyneuropathy, improve blood sugar control, and also help improve vascular health, reduce blood pressure, improve hormonal health. and boost the immune system. Capsimax powder
Capsimax is a blend of capsicum, piperine, caffeine and niacin.
The active ingredient for weight loss in capsicum is the capsaicinoid.
The results of a British analysis showed that the daily consumption of capsicum can reduce the daily caloric intake by 310 Kcal.
Another study looked at the thermogenic potential of capsicum and suggested that daily consumption can increase basic energy expenditure by 130 Kcal per day. The other elements that make up the mix
Piperine is a great weight loss ingredient derived from black pepper. It stimulates weight loss by directly stimulating the metabolism. Furthermore, it has indirect effects as it also enhances the action of capsaicinoids.
The effects of niacin on weight loss in humans are still under investigation. However, the results of preliminary studies have shown that niacin supplementation can lead to an increase in fat metabolism.
This substance has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, immunostimulating benefits and also has positive effects on the cardiovascular system. Niacin has immense cardiovascular health benefits. It reduces LDL cholesterol and increases HDL cholesterol. It also improves gut and brain health. Chromium picolinate
According to some studies, the use of chromium picolinate is associated with an average reduction of 1.1 kg in body weight.
The effects of chromium on weight loss are due to its ability to promote the metabolism of lipids and sugars and to improve insulin sensitivity. Caffeine
The effects of caffeine intake were also examined. It seems that caffeine intake can lead to a substantial reduction of 26%, 17% and 28% in body weight, BMI and fat mass respectively. Nopal
Nopal is the common Spanish name for Opuntia cacti. It is famous for weight loss due to its high fiber content.
Fat shedding increased by up to 16% with the use of nopal compared to 4.5% in the placebo.
Nopal, due to its high fiber content, absorbs a lot of water from the body and will make you feel less hungry.L-carnitine fumarate
A meta-analysis on the effects of L-carnitine on weight loss suggests that it can lead to a reduction in body weight of up to 7%.
The main mechanisms through which L-carnitine brings its weight loss effects include its ability to lower blood sugar levels, induce fat oxidation, and improve overall metabolism. Learn more about sugars
This section may be of particular interest to diabetics.
Consumption of sugar can lead to weight gain in direct and indirect ways.
When consuming a high-sugar diet, most of the sugar makes its way to the liver. Within the liver, this sugar triggers several biochemical processes. These include increased lipid accumulation, increased fat content in the liver, and increased insulin resistance.
Indirectly, sugar in food can also trigger processes that allow fat to settle, which can lead to obesity.
All of this can promote type 2 diabetes, liver deterioration, and expose you to greater risk of cardiovascular disease.
Ingredients that promote sugar metabolism and reduce insulin resistance are indispensable for weight loss. PhenQ uses chromium picolinate as one of these ingredients. Who is PhenQ for?
Manufacturers reassure users that there are no unwanted effects. However, you should avoid taking this product if you have:
- Pregnancy;
- Feeding time;
- Diseases that require medical attention;
- Use of drugs that may interact with the ingredients used in PhenQ.
Otherwise, the manufacturers claim that PhenQ is made with 100% natural products. Being of natural origin, the chances of major side effects after using PhenQ are quite unlikely.
However, like any other drug or supplement, you may experience some side effects, which could include:
- Gastrointestinal side effects such as: stomach upset, reflux, abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting;
- Headache, dizziness, confusion, sleepiness;
- Abnormal blood pressure and tachycardia.
