In considering a Fastin vs. Phentermine comparison, it’s important to first establish the differences between these two products.  The original Fastin drug, initially a prescription medication, contained phentermine.  Phentermine stands for phenyl-tertiary-butylamine.  The primary mechanism here is an appetite suppressant.  It was proven to be effective and fast treatment to obese patients, especially when combined with exercise, dieting and lifestyle modification.  The drug is believed to alter brain function, specifically the portion that controls appetite.

Phentermine is of the amphetamine and phenethylamine class, as is phenylethylamine HCL.  This is where the confusion comes in.  Just because phenylethylamine HCL is from the same family as phentermine, this does not mean they are the same thing, nor does it mean they have the same effect on the human body.

Phentermine was known to affect a person’s appetite and increase a person’s blood pressure.  Though originally approved by the FDA in the late 1950s, this medication was eventually removed from the market.  The first company to produce Fastin with phentermine was King Pharmaceuticals.  In the year 1998, the medication was taken off the market.  This was the result of 24 cases of heart valve disease in the related medication Fen-Phen.  The FDA requested that these specific medications be taken off the market due to these impending lawsuits.  It was later proven that only 30% of people taking said substances suffered from abnormal heart valve problems.  Therefore, the FDA never actually banned the drug phentermine from the market.

Meanwhile, a new company decided to buy the name Fastin and cash in on its famous name.  Now we enter the new and improved Fastin, natural weight loss pills that are often advertised as prescription-level strength drugs without the added risks of Phentermine.  While natural weight loss pills may carry some risks, because they are largely seen as herbal or food materials, they are not closely regulated.  The potential for risk is limited to the interaction of the supplement with a preexisting condition or other medication in the body.  Therefore one could say that these pills are safe to buy and experiment with, as opposed to potentially life-threatening prescription drugs.

What does the new and improved Fastin do?  These slimming pills are not appetite suppressants.  Rather, they are fat burner supplements produced by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals who bought rights to the name Fastin.  Before anything, understand that there is no such thing as a prescription drug for sale without a prescription.  The only reason that you can buy Fastin without a prescription is because it contains phenylethylamine HCL instead of Phentermine.   

Phenylethylamine HCL operates similarly, as it is from the amphetamines family, but is not considered anywhere near the level of regular Phentermine.  All phenylethylamine HCL does is increase extracellular levels of dopamine to the brain.  This enhances a person’s mood, but stops short of altering the brain function as regards appetite.  The proprietary blend of the new Fastin also helps with calorie burning, as it is known to increase metabolism.

There are 245 milligrams of proprietary blend and 100 milligrams of caffeine in each serving of Fastin.  When compared to the chemically based Phentermine, a slimming pill that suppresses appetite, Fastin is all energy but with limitations when it comes to aggressively altering physical makeup for weight loss.
