Introduction
Organo, creators of the infamous ‘healthy’ coffee “Organo Gold”, have now ventured into the health and fitness supplement market with this latest weight loss shake named OGX Fenix. It may be in cool packaging, it may come with some big claims, it may have a cool name that sounds suspiciously like a rap artist, but does it actually work?
In this OGX Fenix review, we’re looking at whether this product is a suitable shake to use for weight loss results.

What Is OGX Fenix?
OGX Fenix is a weight loss shake mix produced by the MLM company Organo. The product is intended to be used as a weight loss shake; users are directed to replace 1-3 of their daily meals with the shake in order to lower their overall calorie intake.
OGX Fenix comes in two flavors and is supplied in a 900g pouch (meaning that one pouch will last users 10 days if they consume the directed three scoops per day); it is available via the official OGX Fenix website, a Organo distributor, or on Amazon/eBay.
At the core of the OGX Fenix formula is essentially just whey protein with some added vitamins and minerals, the formula also features some interesting ingredients like Reishi Mushroom Powder which may have some additional added health benefits (though no conclusive scientific study has been able to prove this).
Does OGX Fenix Work?
If you were expecting Organo’s OGX Fenix diet shake to be loaded full of cutting-edge fat burning ingredients (and based on the price of this product, you should expect that), unfortunately that’s not the case. To be crystal clear – this product doesn’t contain a single fat burning or appetite suppressing ingredient at all.
Organo claim this product can be used as a weight management product, but don’t fully elaborate on how; our research team have concluded that to see any weight loss results from this product, users will need to replace their daily meals with the shake. If you do decide to replace meals, we do not recommend going as far as replacing all your meals due to the shakes not being nutritionally-complete enough to provide your body with all the nutrients it needs.

Our Final Verdict On OGX Fenix
To finish off our OGX Fenix review, it’s a bit of a mixed bag – there are things that we like about it and things that we aren’t too blown away by.
This product isn’t nutritionally-complete enough to be used as a meal replacement shake – the sodium levels are too high and there’s a lot of sugar in the formula. Furthermore, the product doesn’t actually contain any proven fat burning or appetite suppressing ingredients which is disappointing for a product being sold as a weight loss shake.
Finally the lack of money-back guarantee and poor reputation of Organo totally put us off this product.
