All of these additives may produce serious side effects on their own.<\/p>\n<p>They also have vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that are often found in common foods.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the ingredients can be substituted with foods, and the stimulants can also be replaced. Though these stimulants may increase the risk for side effects. This makes the overall quality of this supplement poor.<\/p>\n<p>Relying on stimulants for weight loss is often no advised, not just due to side effects, but because of its effects not being long lasting. Stimulant formulas often need cycling, which means you can only take it for certain periods. Still, there\u2019s no guarantee of reliable weight loss.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>The Price and Quality of Phentaslim<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>One <strong>30-day bottle claiming to offer 3 to 10 pounds of weight loss, sells for $59.99. \u00a0<\/strong>Though they fail to provide any evidence that this amount of weight loss would be possible. They also offer no guarantee that this effect is possible.<\/p>\n<p>This brand is pricy, and not all the ingredients have a proven weight loss effect. Many of the amino acids aren\u2019t needed in most people, since they are often found in common foods.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also a major emphasis on high amounts of stimulants, which don\u2019t have long lasting weight loss effects. The caffeine is added in at 240 mg, and there\u2019s other stimulant that include guarana and green tea. The combination of this formula may have unintended symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>Many users of these pills have failed to see much benefit. As you\u2019ll see in the <strong>\u201cCustomer Opinions of Phentaslim\u201d, <\/strong>there has been a lack of benefits as well as multiple side effects. It\u2019s due to all this, that this supplement is a poor choice. The price of this supplement is far too much, since these ingredients are common and easy to replace.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Business of Phentaslim<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Optimum Nutra Inc owns this brand; the only contact information they provide is an email:<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Email: <\/strong><a href=\"mailto:cs@phentaslim.com\">cs@phentaslim.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>They do allow for returns, but this comes with a $10 fee, as well as no covered shipping and handling.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a lack of information on the company online. It\u2019s unknown how they operate, and whether or not they back up their money back return policy. Though the company does have their own testimonials, very little exists about them in any form.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also other websites which claim to provide the truth about this brand, only to redirect back to the Phentaslim website. \u00a0This is likely due to the company adding fake websites that serve to make the brand seem like a good weight los solution.<\/p>\n\n<h5><strong>Customer Opinions of Phentaslim<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>There aren\u2019t many reviews available. Here\u2019s what a few users have experienced:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cIt is absolutely useless\u201d<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cnot a good experience, jitters, sick feeling\u201d<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201chad a horrible feeling of sickness and jitters thought my body to the point my hands were shaking\u201d<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cquite a big increase in my need to urinate\u201d<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Customers listed side effects and a lack of weight loss as concerns. Some experienced an increase in energy, but for many this lead to jitters and anxiety. This is likely caused by the high amount of caffeine added, which is similar to about 2 cups worth of coffee.<\/p>\n<p>The types of effects people have increased include headaches, tremors, shakes, headaches, rapid heart rate, increased bathroom usage, and involuntary spasms. All these are signs of excess caffeine intake.<\/p>\n<p>Though the company has their own positive reviews featured on their website, outside review are almost exclusively negative. Many have regretted using this supplement, and some couldn\u2019t finish a bottle due to the side effects.<\/p>\n<!-- Widget Shortcode --><div id=\"execphp-32\" class=\"widget widget_execphp
