Does Certiphene live up to its promises? It claims to burn fat, curb appetite, and build muscle. Their website is pretty persuasive. They’ve cited “clinical studies” and have several convincing testimonials. But is all of this relevant? Let us explain why it isn’t.

The studies published on Certiphene’s website are real, but they play a sly game of semantics.  According to the study P57 (hoodia) helps reduce caloric intake and reduce body fat. But consumers typically assume two things: (1) there is an adequate amount of hoodia in each serving and (2) the hoodia used is 100% genuine African P57 hoodia. Unfortunately, neither of these is true in Certiphene’s case. Furthermore, notice that in the studies no concrete numbers were given of how much weight each participant lost: a huge red flag. Words such as “statistically significant” make it seem like you will lose a lot of weight. In reality, this helps Certiphene circumvent the truth by speaking in generalities and not using cold hard facts.

Price: $59.95

-          Ginseng

This is an OK list of ingredients. Our main concern is with the “proprietary blend.” Often, diet pill companies use proprietary blends to hide the amount ingredients in each serving, adding cheap fillers to cut down on the cost of manufacturing. Unfortunately for us, it reduces the effectiveness of the pills. We lose and the company wins.

Cons

The general consensus among reviewers is that Certiphene will only help you lose 3-5 pounds. That fact, along with the price makes us hesitant to recommend it to anyone. If you are serious about losing weight, check out our list of top rated diet pills below.
