Re: What's the difference betw. Betalean (w/o ephedra) & Phen Free?

[Guest guest]

You can compare all EAS supplements at their website at

http://www.eas.com from the pulldown menu - they have nutritional

info and also Q & A's answered about each item too.

Here's the info from their site: BetaLean non-ephedra = " along with

green tea and naringin to support thermogenesis. To further enhance

the overall metabolic environment for body fat loss, this product

also includes a unique proprietary formula consisting of L-tyrosine,

white willow, and L-carnitine. " Their info lists:

Calcium (from calcium carbonate) 360 mg

Vitamins % minerals

Chromium 150 mcg

Micronutrients

Green Tea Leaf Extract (Standardized to 50% polyphenols; 35%

catechins) 300 mg

Caffeine (from Caffeine Anhydrous) 200 mg

Naringin 75 mg

Bitter Orange (fruit) 300 mg

Proprietary Blend (L-tyrosine, potassium phosphate, white willow

bark, L-carnitine) 225 mg

Note recommended dosage is 2 tablets 3x a day @ about $10 for 120

tablets

PhenFree (which is a non-ephedra thermogenic too):

Calcium (from calcium carbonate) 338 mg

Micronutrients

L-Tyrosine 500 mg

St. 's wort (standardized for 0.3% hypericin) 200 mg

Cordyceps (whole) 500 mg

Citrus aurantium (fruit) 300 mg

Yohimbe (bark) 100 mg

Cayenne pepper (berry) powder 30 mg

Caffeine 99 mg

Note: recommended dosage 2-4 caps 3x a day @ about $24.00 for 120

tablets

Also if you are birth control pills please be aware that an

ingredient in Phenfree (St sWort) makes your birth control less

effective (proven studies) - so for the comparison and price IMHO the

BetaLean is a MUCH better thermogenic ingredient wise and I wouldnt

be surprised if EAS phases out PhenFree in the near future.

*thermogenics can be a boost for your program however dont think you

dont have to do the work to transform your body - you didnt need a

fatpill to make you fat so why would you think you need one to make

you unfat?* ;-)

Thank you for the response. I have read the ingredients but I am

not that knowledgable about what each component is, and while both

products are thermogenics, I really just wanted to know why people

selected one over the other. I have used Xenadrine-EFX (the one

without ephedra) and thought it worked, but sometimes it makes me

feel a little jittery, so I thought I'd try the Betalean formula for

a change (and I had heard that Betalean is time released).

Thanks again.

I have not tried the Phen Free but did use the Betalean (w/out

Ephedra) from about 1/2 way through my 1st challenge. I would take

it 1st thing in the am so I wouldn't just drop the kids off at

school & go home & veg with my 2 yr old. It kind of gave me the

boost that I needed. I also have to point out that they have changed

the formula. I don't remember what it used to have or the amounts

but I remember looking when I got the new bottle & seeing that they

had taken some stuff out & added others. I ordered it straight from

EAS so this has to be a recent change. But now it has a different

dosage ( 2 tablets instead of 3 capsules) & says to not exceed 5

days per week or 6 tablets per day. It still says to stop usage

after 12 weeks & take 2 weeks off. I just started taking it again

after not taking anything for about 3 weeks just on my cardio days.

Maybe it is in my head but it helps me put my gear on & out the door

to the gym.

btw-I tried to take Metabolife when it first came out & I thought I

would have my heart jump out of my throat. I threw that stuff away!
