Alpha Lipoic Acid: (ALA) is a beneficial fatty acid that is produced in every cell of the body. One of it’s principle functions is to help convert glucose (blood sugar) into energy. It is also a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes potentially harmful molecules called free radicals. Free radicals have been linked to cancer, accelerated aging, and many other debilitating and potentially terminal conditions. Studies have shown that ALA can also help maintain normal blood pressure levels, support healthy blood sugar levels, brain function, cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health.
Cinnulin: is the only cinnamon extract that exclusively contains specific polyphenols responsible for the many health benefits of cinnamon. These benefits include blood sugar management, subtle weight loss benefits, enhanced lean body mass, maintaining normal high blood pressure levels, and the absorption and utilization of antioxidants.
Chlorogenic Acid: essentially retrains your body to more effectively seek out and utilize white adipose tissue (the undesirable type of fat) stores for energy. It helps healthy blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure, brain function and mental clarity. It also contributes to overall healthy blood chemistry. When blood chemistry is improved, virtually every major system and organ in the body benefits.
Chromium: is known to help regulate glucose and assist in the metabolism of glucose on a cellular level to supply the body with energy. It is also reported to slow the loss of calcium, help prevent glaucoma, and regulate cholesterol. Low chromium levels may contribute to coronary artery disease. Chromium also assists the body in building lean muscle tissue while utilizing white adipose tissue in the body for energy.
Copper: helps the body produce red blood cells which helps avoid anemic conditions. When taken with zinc and magnesium, it can also help promote calcium retention, especially in women during menopause. It may also assist in healthy skin and joint mobility.
Magnesium: can help promote calcium retention when taken with copper and zinc. It is also an effective preventative supplement.
Raspberry Ketones: are an enzyme extracted from raspberries. This enzyme increases the production of the protein hormone adinopectin. This hormone controls metabolic deviations that could lead to weight gain. When used alone as a weight loss supplement, it has not been shown to be very effective and is usually combined with stimulants. It is included in TruFix as a complimentary ingredient for metabolism regulation and also for it’s significant antioxidant benefit.
Selenium: is a powerful antioxidant.
Vanadium: helps improve the efficacy of the body’s naturally produced insulin. Insulin helps regulate glucose (blood sugar) and neutralizes blood sugar spikes.
Zinc: is an essential trace element. It supports the immune system, contributes to healthy eyes and promotes healhty prostate. It also may help individuals with mental clarity and concentration. Some athletes use zinc to encourage athletic performance and strength.

Formula Overview: Our objective in engineering this formula was to provide a healthy means for individuals to lose excess weight and experience increased energy. There are some stimulants in this formula because they are necessary to effect the systemic and metabolic changes required to lose excess adipose tissue (fat). However, we have been very careful not to use substances or dosages that could result in addiction or compromise the cardiovascular system. This formula has been engineered to be beneficial in enhancing the health of those who use it. Following are descriptions of the key ingredients.
AMP: (4-Amino-2-Methylpentane Citrate) is a substance produced in Pouchung Tea. It acts as a metabolism “booster” and assists the body in metabolizing fatty tissue. When combined with other ingredients, such as nominal amounts of caffeine, bitter orange and Phenylethylamine (PEA), it enhances the body’s ability to shed adipose tissue in a healthy manner without the side effects of jitters or cardiovascular complications. As the body metabolizes excess fat stores a subtle increase in energy is usually experienced.
Green Tea EGCG extract: enriched in Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) shows significant results in helping individuals maintain their weight. Green tea has long shown promise in helping individuals maintain a healthy weight and, after significant green tea research, it is now believed that the EGCG compound is what contributes to the reduction in weight. There are three hypothesis on how Green Tea EGCG helps in promoting a healthy weight: 1) Supports healthy blood flow. By maintaining healthy blood flow throughout the body, there is increased oxygenation to muscles and thereby increasing caloric demands; 2) When combined with a nominal amount of caffeine it allows for fat oxidation (Dulloo et al, 1999); and 3) Encourages insulin effect by regulating the signaling of insulin in response to carbohydrate consumption which allows one to not be as susceptible to blood sugar spiking (Li et al, 2006). Green tea is also a rich source of anti-oxidants.
Dendrobium: is one the fifty of fundamental herbs in traditional medicine. It is found in certain species of the Orchid family. The complexity of the plant is largely attributed to its unique profile of alkaloids, such as: Dendrine, Nobiline, Nobilonine, etc (Dr. Duke Phytochemical Database). Extracts enriched in dendrobium alkaloids show many beneficial effects including focus, confidence, and energy. Unlike other stimulants, these effects are not typically seen with an increase in blood pressure. Because of Dendrobiums unique properties it is considered to be highly effective in helping individuals obtain their weight loss goals when coupled with synephrine (Bitter Orange) and nominal amounts of caffeine.
Bitter Orange: The combination of Bitter Orange peel and caffeine is a safe alternative to thermogenic products. The active ingredient in Bitter Orange is Synephrine, which is a primary amine similar to ephedrine and phenylethylamine (PEA) (Figure 1). However, synephrine shows none of the negative side effects that eventually limited the sale of ephedra(Stohs et al., 2012). Bitter orange works by increasing the amount of glucose consumption by binding to adrenoreceptors, but at a much lower and healthier Kd than ephedrine (Stohs et al., 2011; Hong et al., 2012; Vinson et al., 2012).
Phenylethylamine HCl: One of the active stimulants found in chocolate is Phenylethylamine (PEA). PEA is an alkaloid that encourages increased release of dopamine that creates the “Chocolate High” we all know and love. The euphoric feeling associated with PEA usually lasts between 5-20 minutes, but allows for enhanced motivation from the release of dopamine. The increase in mood can often be found to encourage exercise and other activities associated with increased caloric expenditure. Because of the ability to enhance mood and promote exercise, PEA is found in a variety of top selling weight management products.
Caffeine: This formula does contain a low dose of caffeine. The formulators generally do not advocate the use of caffeine and, in fact, refrain from consuming beverages that contain caffeine. However, the use of caffeine in moderation and in the right application (i.e. the caffeine contained in aspirin) has a positive impact on one’s health. This formula does not contain a sufficient amount of caffeine to cause addiction or withdrawal symptoms. There is just enough used to act as a catalyst in activating other key ingredients in the formula.
Bioperine (Black Pepper): Piperine, the active ingredient in black pepper, has been patent proven to encourage the absorption of molecules into the body (Majeed et al., 1996). This is critical since many compounds are prematurely metabolized into inactive forms through oral ingestion. Black pepper extract thereby triggers the active absorption of these compounds into the body allowing for enhanced and sustained effects of the active ingredients. Furthermore, piperine, has been shown to act as a fat burner similar to capsaicin by increasing basal metabolic rates (Diepvens et al., 2007; Hursel and Westerterp-Plantenga, 2010).
B-6: supports the metabolization of fat and is a natural diuretic, which helps the body avoid water retention. B-6 also helps to maintain normal blood sugar ranges. It can also have a stimulating effect on the thyroid. It is a water soluble vitamin that functions as a co-enzyme and is essential in the breakdown and utilization of carbohydrates and proteins. It also aids in the repair of tissues and cells.
B-12: can normalize appetite and give greater levels of energy which helps in fighting fatigue. It is also known to ease minor muscle aches and promote better sleep. It can enhance mood, contribute to clarity of thought and focus and it contributes to overall motivation to maintain an active lifestyle.
Chromium: The body uses chromium in the digestive process and helps maintain nominal blood sugar levels. It is also reported to aid in building muscle tissue and burning fat. It may also slow the loss of calcium thus helping to prevent osteoporosis. Supplementing with chromium may support triglycerides and total cholesterol levels in people with high blood sugar and diabetics.
