How Does Legion Phoenix Work?
Content
Legion Phoenix works by giving the metabolism a boost and creating a condition that is conducive to fat burning. As with many competing products stimulants are an important part of the formulation, but unlike the rest of the crowd Legion Phoenix does not include any caffeine.
Caffeine’s ability to cause the jitters and other side effects is well known, and many people cannot tolerate it, so Legion Phoenix is already a hit with many users. The lack of caffeine does not mean the chance of side effects has been banished though. All of the ingredients used in Legion Phoenix have the potential to cause side effects, some of them much worse than any attributed to caffeine.
Key Ingredients
- Synephrine: Also called bitter orange, studies conducted suggests synephrine may provide a significant boost to the metabolism. Its powers can be boosted when combined with caffeine.
- Naringin: A grapefruit derivative. The results of one study, conducted on mice in 2014, suggests naringin can suppress the appetite, and a 38% decrease in fat around the liver was also recorded after 100 days of supplementation.
- Hesperidin: A study conducted at Zhejiang University (China) suggests a combination of hesperidin, synephrine and narangin can produce dramatic increases in the metabolic rate.
- Hordenine: A compound that can inhibit the activity of the enzyme monoamine oxidase. This has a knock-on effect that allows the body to retain more adrenalin (important for mobilizing fat cells).
- Epigallocatechin gallate: A catechin that can be obtained from green tea and certain nuts. Many studies suggest it can encourage fat burning, but most of those studies were conducted on animals.
- Salicin: An ingredient found in willow bark. Used here to amplify the effects of synephrine.
- Forskolin: Although some studies suggest forskolin can encourage fat burning and promote the growth of muscle tissue, a number of other studies provide conflicting results so further study is probably warranted.
- 5-HTTP: An ingredient that is usually used to provide appetite suppression. Its abilities in this regard are doubtful, but there is some evidence to suggest its abilities may be improved when combined with hordenine.
[info]How to Take Legion Phoenix – The recommended dose is two capsules, taken twice a day with meals. For maximum benefits Legion recommends combining the capsules with caffeine. It may very well improve results, but it kind of defeats the object of creating a caffeine free formula.[/info]
Customer Feedback
Some users complain of side effects, other state the formulation failed to work.
[plain]”If vomiting counts as a result I got a result and it was pretty long lasting as well.”[/plain]
[plain]“Nasty! . Don’t buy them. They don’t do a thing. Going to try and get my money back.”[/plain]
But some other reviews are more positive:

Legion Phoenix Side Effects
All of the ingredients used in the formulation are capable of producing side effects. Hesperin usage can result in facial swelling, hives, and anaphylactic shock. Hordenine can push up the blood pressure and the rest of the ingredients can also produce equally unpleasant reactions. That does not meant they will. Most people should be able to use the formulation without issue, but considering the dangerous possibilities, all potential Legion Phoenix users should consult with their GP before commencing supplementation.
Purchasing Options & Considerations
Legion Phoenix can only be purchased from the Legion Supplements website and via Amazon.com and, as both options entail shipping from the US, customers based in the UK will need to be prepared to pay a little extra for the P&P. A single tub of Legion Phoenix usually costs around $35 (£23) when purchased from Amazon.com, or about $30 (£20) from the Legion Supplements website.
Guarantee
A money back guarantee is provided and is good for three months.
Alternative Product – What We Recommend
We recommend Capsiplex Sport over and above Legion Phoenix, Capsiplex Sport has the history, the loyal customer base and the science.
There are two target markets of Capsiplex – the product fits both equally and perfectly. One is the weight loss marketplace for those who need to lose body fat and the second is the sports supplement market.
