The Ingredients of TriThin Magic

Fitness Magic, formerly known as TriThin Magic, is a weight-loss supplement that purports to help users lose 30 pounds in 30 days while increasing energy. Users are directed to take one capsule daily on an empty stomach. The supplement has a variety of ingredients of which users should be aware before taking it.

  1. Cocoa Powder

    • Cocoa powder is one of the ingredients in the product. Cocoa powder is often used in baking to add rich chocolate flavor, as well as a dark color. Companies use it to add flavor to ice cream and cakes. Manufacturers may also use it as a coating for confections or frozen deserts, as well as for preparing chocolate milk. Cocoa powder does not have any particularly harmful effects.

    Kelp

    • Fitness Magic also uses kelp, a plant the grows under the sea and is common in Asian dishes. Companies often manufacturer kelp supplements and market them as appetite suppressants and agents for weight loss. However, studies have shown traces of arsenic in many kelp supplements, sometimes to a level that would be unsafe for human consumption.

    Coral Mineral Powder

    • Mineral powder derived from coral is another ingredient in Fitness Magic. Coral mineral powder is a supplement that some companies market for a variety of healing purposes, including the treatment of osteoporosis, diabetes and even cancer. However, the Food and Drug Administration has not recognized coral-derived products as effective or even safe for use.

    1,3-dimethylpentylamine

    • 1,3-dimethylpentylamine, also known as DMAA, is a geranium oil extract that is a common ingredient in "party pills" and has been compared to ecstasy in its effects on the human body. Companies often market the ingredient as part of diet aid supplements. However, DMAA can have effects similar to ecstasy, leading to an adrenaline rush, nausea, headaches and potential heart problems, such as a stroke.

    Phenylethylamine

    • Phenylethylamine is a psychoactive drug commonly found in substances such as chocolate and acts as a mild mood elevator and stimulant. It essentially blocks dopamine transmitters in much the same way as methamphetamines, leading to euphoric feelings and withdrawal after the effects wear subside.

    Other Ingredients

    • Other trace ingredients in Fitness Magic include trace mineral complex, the stimulant caffeine, vanadium --- sometimes used a dietary supplement in body-building --- which can cause lung irritation and chest pain in high doses. Magnesium stearate, silica and gelatin capsules are also ingredients, with no known negative health effects in low concentrations.
