DAI’s Bottom Line:
According to their website, Certiphene combines two well known weight loss ingredients… but that’s pretty much all we know. There’s no disclosure of any other ingredients which is pretty dangerous for those of us with allergies. You have to search the website for any extra information on their product. The only place to find their phone number is if you locate the tiny text link that brings you to an image of their label. According to the supplement facts, Certiphene only contains about 120mg of Hoodia which is not enough to be effective as an appetite suppressant. As mentioned above, they do not claim to be using South African Hoodia, which probably explains why this website has no CITES certificate, which is another DAI red flag.

The last straw comes in their Privacy Policy (That’s right, we review those too!) They say: “The information we collect is used to improve the content of our Web page, used to notify consumers about updates to our Web site, shared with other reputable organizations to help them contact consumers for marketing purposes, used by us to contact consumers for marketing purposes.” Anyone feel like getting a few hundred SPAM e-mails? They’re very up front about the fact that they are handing over your personal information to other online companies. We suggest that you pass on this product.
