Ingredients and Mechanism of Action
Phenamax includes citrin, yerba mate, green tea, guarana, white willow bark, cha de bugre, hordenine, forslean, and acacia gum.
On the good side, they do use 300mg green tea, which is enough to actually produce some results. However, with yerba mate and guarana, their formula is missing damiana to make an effect, and most of the ingredients are nothing more than fluff and packaging. For example, cha de bugre, which they claim has been used by native medicine for years, has not been proven to do anything at all. Most of the ingredients however are made up of caffeine, meaning you will feel the side effects if nothing else.

Overall Impression of Phenamax:
Phenamax didn’t even bother to make their own site. Phenamaxfree.com actually looks exactly like every other major green tea retailer’s website, except it has their name on it. It’s ingredients are largely different forms of caffeine, and even those who are not normally sensitive to caffeine will feel the jitters, insomnia, etc. with this formula. We would not suggest it to anyone.
