PhenQ and PhenQ PM ingredients: effects, studies, doses and limitations
This library brings together the main ingredients in both formulas. Each page distinguishes biological role, human studies, doses actually studied, precautions and what can or cannot be extrapolated to the complete product.
Why a separate ingredient library?
Commercial pages naturally present a formula as a coherent whole. To assess it properly, you also need to look at each component separately. An ingredient may have a well-established physiological role but little evidence on weight, or have a few trials while being used at a dose that is difficult to compare.
Qenph especially avoids a common mistake: adding up several positive studies conducted separately and concluding that the complete formula will automatically produce the sum of their effects.
Important: “present in PhenQ” does not mean “proven in PhenQ”
When the literature concerns caffeine, chromium or L-carnitine taken in isolation, Qenph presents those findings as information about the ingredient. A conclusion about the complete product ideally requires a trial on the formula itself at the marketed dose.
Caffeine
Alertness, thermogenesis, tolerance and sleep.
MineralChromium
Macronutrient metabolism and very small effect on weight.
CompoundL-carnitine
Fatty-acid transport, study doses and average findings.
CapsaicinoidsCapsimax
Thermogenesis, appetite and limits of extrapolation.
Plant fibreNopal
Fibre, satiety and available human data.
Patented blendInnoSlim
Ginseng + astragalus, metabolic markers and anthropometry.
Proprietary blendα-Lacys Reset
Commercial claims, components and level of verifiability.
Amino acidL-theanine
Relaxation, sleep and no direct evidence of fat loss.
Amino acidL-arginine
Vasodilation and data on adiposity indices.
Essential amino acidL-lysine
Nutritional role and no direct weight-loss evidence.
Essential amino acidPhenylalanine
Satiety, digestive hormones and limits of acute studies.
PrecursorL-tyrosine
Catecholamines, cognitive stress and weight data.
Trace elementSelenium
Physiological functions, intake and risk of excess.
