Ingredients:
Benzylamine HCL – is a naturally occurring substance found in celery. It is used to help regulate blood sugar thus inhibiting blood sugar spikes which in turn helps minimize insulin spikes.
Natural Caffeine & Caffeine Citrate – This formula does contain a small amount of Caffeine. The use of caffeine in moderation and in the right application (i.e. the caffeine contained in headache tablets), has a positive effect on one’s body. This formula does not contain a sufficient amount of caffeine to cause addiction or withdrawal symptoms. Just enough is used to act as a catalyst in activating other key ingredients in the formula.
Dendrobium – Dendrobium is one of 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: increased focus, enhanced confidence, and increased energy. Unlike other stimulants these effects are not typically seen with an increase in blood pressure. Because of Dendrobium’s unique properties it is considered to be highly effective when coupled with other stimulants and/or nominal amounts of caffeine in helping individuals obtain their weight loss goals.
Evodiamine – An Asian plant extract that has been demonstrated in laboratory studies to reduce both fat uptake, act as a thermogenic, and stimulate metabolism.12,13
Green Tea – Green Tea EGCG Extract: Green tea 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, after significant green tea research it is now believed that the EGCG compound is what contributed to the reduction in weight. There are three hypothesis on how Green Tea EGCG helps in promoting a healthy weight: 1) Increase blood flow – By increasing the 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 allow for increased fat oxidation (Dulloo et al, 1999); and 3) modulating insulin effect – Regulating the signaling of insulin in response to carbohydrate consumption 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.
Hordenine HCL – A natural phenethylamine compound which is naturally occurring in a variety of plants, but typically sourced from barley grass. It works primarily through the release of norepinephrine. It’s actions are multi-fold – it works to increase metabolism and energy, while decreasing appetite. It has also been noted to improve mood and focus, and may increase the amount of calories burned during workouts. Synergysitc with, caffeine, and Yohimbe. http://nootriment.com/hordenine-hcl/
Korean Ginseng – Is an adaptogen and has been used for centuries for its health promoting benefits. Some of those reported benefits include energy, strengthening the immune system, stress reduction, mental clarity, etc
Methylcobalamin – Also known as vitamin B-12, it can normalize appetite and give greater levels of energy thus fighting fatigue. It is also known to lessen muscle pain and promote better sleep. It can enhance mood, and combat mild levels of depression. It also contributes to clarity of thought and focus. It contributes to overall motivation to maintain an active life style.
N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) – is a sulphur-bearing amino acid which has a long history of use for a variety of issues. Not only is it instrumental in supporting the body’s production of the master antioxidant glutathione, but it is protective to the lungs, liver and kidneys. It has been demonstrated to reduce insulin sensitivity, and supports the normalization of circulating hormones. It also modulates several neurotransmitters which cam improve mood.
Niacinamide – Also known as vitamin B3, and is found naturally in many foods. Niacin has been shown to support healthy cholesterol levels, circulation, and blood sugar.
Theacrine – is a natural plant extract which structurally resembles caffeine but appears to have fewer side effects, making it known as an acceptable alternative to caffeine. It is noted to increase energy levels, and has stimulatory effects. It may boost physical activity, motivation, concentration, and levels of alertness. Anecdotal reports suggest it may be useful in reducing fatigue, and have anti-aging and immune boosting properties.16,17
Trimethylglycine (TMG) – An organic compound found in many plants, but commonly isolated from beets. Trimethylglycine is required for methylation, and for the synthesis of neurotransmitters. It also plays a key role in energy production, and is beneficial for optimal digestion, liver health, and certain detoxification pathways.14,15
Yohimbe – is a herbal extract used to provide energy. It is also been demonstrated to support vascular health and circulation.
How it works:
First, let me preface this by saying that Gen2 was not designed to be taken alone. It was designed to be paired with TruFix. The two work synergistically. At it’s most basic level, the TruFix balances glucose levels and underlying body chemistry allowing the body to release it’s stored fat. The Gen 2 product has several key actions:
- reduces appetite
- reduces craving
- increases satiety, so you feel full faster
- stimulates metabolism and fat burning
- enhances energy levels
This is why it is so important to take the combo together. Think of the combo this way: The TruFix is the electricity, it is what makes everything possible. It balances body chemistry so that it is in a position to release stored fat. The TruWeight & Energy is the light switch. It allows that electrical potential to happen or not happen. Just like how the light bulb and light switch work together, our products do too. You can flip a switch all you want, but if there is no electricity, nothing is going to happen. Likewise, if you have electricity but no way to flip the switch, nothing is going to happen. You need to have both present in order to turn the light on! One without the other always results in lost potential.
January is a new year and it gives you the opportunity to have a new start. Evaluate your diet, make the appropriate fixes, get out and move more, and take your TRU together. It is up to you to ‘flip that switch’!

Ok now that I’ve read all that..?? S does the level of caffeine make you ancious. .giddy. .and also does it work as a laxative…curious. ..because I drink body balance tea and it works threw the bowels and it’s not pleasant…
It does not have a laxative effect! While it does contain caffeine, it is a slower acting form of caffeine, so you do not get a rush of it, nor do you get jittery.
How do I get this product and what is the cost?
you can order it at the top of the blog post. My store carries most of my most commonly recommended products
Hi, I have just started today taking the weight and energy pills. I was told that I just need that one to increase my energy and loose weight, so I didn’t order trufix. Yesterday I got the results of some exams my doctor ordered and I am pretty healthy, I just have like 40 pounds extra. So my question is, am I going to loose weight by taking the weight and energy pills or I need trufix with it? And is it safe to take the supplements while breastfeeding?
I take beta+, iron,probiotics, atenolol 25mg, multi vit. Can I safely add this? Thanks
Unfortunately we can not comment on any medications, however, if you take the ingredients of what you are taking to your pharmacist, they have access to software that will look for contraindications
What is the difference between the trucontol and the tru weight and energy gen 2?
they each contain a different blend of ingredients since people tolerate different formulas at different levels. I find the TruControl is a bit stronger personally but I have some people who swear by the TWE for themselves
What is the difference between TruControl and TruWeight & Energy? TruControl raises my heart rate (and makes it difficult to sleep) and does not like my stomach and makes me feel “oogy”. Is TruWeight & Energy less invasive with the same weightloss effects?
They are simply different formulas that have similar end goals. Each contains a unique blend of ingredients however, so people can experiment and find the one that suits them best. If the TruControl raises your heart rate, you could order a sample of the TruWeight & Energy to see how you respond to that one.
