Dicaffeine malate is malic acid combined with caffeine. It works similar to caffeine as a stimulant, but does not cause upset stomachs.
Choamine is actually a cocoa extract, which has similar effects as chocolate. It helps increase energy, lower appetite, and improves mood. Like eating chocolates, chocamine can enhance your mood, with various other health benefits.
PEA (phenylethylamine) is a natural compound synthesized phenylalanine by enzymatic decarboxylation. It is also found in many foods such as chocolate, and works to help relieve depression.
Synephrine comes from the fruit of bitter orange (citrus aurantium), that is commonly used in many diet pills, and has long been used in Chinese medicine to treat various ailments. However, synephrine is still a relatively unproven ingredient when it comes to weight loss. Some studies have found limited weight loss results, while other studies found no benefits of synephrine for weight loss.

Obesity is a major health problem facing the developed and developing world. Efforts by individuals, health professionals, educators, and policy makers to combat the escalating trend of growing obesity prevalence have been multifaceted and mixed in outcome. Various dietary supplements have been marketed to reduce obesity. These products have been suggested to accomplish this by decreasing energy intake and energy absorption, and/or increasing metabolic rate.
Citrus aurantium, which contains several compounds including synephrine alkaloids, has been suggested as a safe alternative to ephedra. This review examines the evidence for safety and efficacy of C. aurantium and synephrine alkaloids as examined in animal studies, clinical weight loss trials, acute physiologic studies and case reports.
The study concludes that while some evidence is promising, larger and more rigorous clinical trials are necessary to draw adequate conclusions regarding the safety and efficacy of C. aurantium and synephrine alkaloids for promoting weight loss. [3]
Humulus Lupulus is a small flowering plant. Its extract has some sedating effects, and also helps enhance sleep. Some studies have found Humulus Lupulus to increase sleep time, and also to have some anti depressant properties.
If you didn’t know that Fenphedra was a diet pill, you’d almost think that it was an anti-depressant or mood lifting supplement. It certainly contains many ingredients that work to enhance mood and prevent depression. Fenphedra is not cheap by any means. One bottle costs $70, and this is after a massive discount for the MSRP price of $179! Do you really want to spend that much money on a “mood enhancer” with weight loss ingredients that are still relatively unproven?
Instead of spending money on another over hyped diet pill, why not spend much less and learn the true method of long term, healthy weight loss that will lead to permanent weight loss results.

The Fenphedra diet pill promotes itself as a good versus evil type of weight loss supplement. The so-called “good” is C.A.R.T (Cocaine and Amphetamine Regulated Transcript), which is a protein that plays a role in reward, feeding, and stress. It acts as a psychostimulant that gives momentary improvements to mental functions such as alertness. The “bad” is Neuropeptide-Y (NPY) which works to increase food intake and lower physical activity and contributes of obesity.
