Trimspa Ephedra Free Diet Pill Review

Another ephedra based fat burner to hit the dust.

Sometime back, Nutramerica discontinued their line of Trimspa ephedra based fat burners in favor of their Trimspa ephedra free line. Being such a popular fat burner, many wondered "why"? It's not so hard to see the reason now that ephedra has been officially banned by the FDA.

Their new ephedrine free fat burner, is being touted as "Your Dream Body Diet Pill", and it's completely ephedra free.

Trimspa Ephedra Free Ingredients

Supplement Facts
Serving Size: 2 Capsules
Servings Per Container: 30

Amount per Serving % Daily Value
Chromium (as chromium dinicotinate glycinate) 150 mcg 125%
Vanadium (as vanadium amino acid chelate) 30 mcg
Glucomannan 400 mg*
Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose 100 mg*
Citrus Naringinine 10 mg*
Glucosamine HCI 100 mg*
Cocoa Extract (standardized for PEA [Phenylethylamine, Tyramine &10% theobromine]) 325 mg*
Green Tea Leaf Extract (40%) (standardized for (ECGC) epigallocatechin gallate, polyphenols & 40% caffeine) 250 mg*
Hoodia Gordonii Cactus (whole plant/less roots) 150 mg

Let's take a closer look at some of these ingredients:

Chromium (chromium dinicotinate glycinate) is an essential trace mineral that plays a key role in enhancing the effectiveness of insulin, and regulate blood sugar levels.. It helps to lower blood pressure, and also play a role in glucose metabolism. It also helps older age individuals improve glucose uptake which decreases with aging.

Vanadium in Trimspa EF works as an appetite suppressant, and help you discipline your eating habits. It is an essential trace mineral that plays a role in the metabolism of carbohydrates. Vanadium, a potent nonselective inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatases, has been shown to mimic many of the metabolic actions of insulin both in vivo and in vitro.1

In a study done at the Division of pharmacology at UBC, Vancouver, researchers studied the effect of vanadium on fatty rats. They found that fatty rats treated with vanadium had significantly reduced food intake, body fat, body weight, plasma insulin levels, and glucose levels.1 However, these effects were not found in the untreated fatty rats.

BB4U Recommends: Tom Venuto's Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle


Fat Burners are a great way to kick off your weight loss efforts and give you that much needed initial boost. But to truly succeed at losing body fat and most important of all, keeping that fat off, you need a plan - a program to help you succeed.

Combine your diet supplements with Tom's Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle program, and you could achieve the results you desire.

tom venuto
We at bodybuildingforyou.com highly recommend Tom Venuto's "Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle" program. Just take a look at Tom's photo above. Tom's straight forward approach to burning fat and building muscle will help you build muscle, lose fat, and keep the fat off.


Glucomannan
is a dietary fiber that comes from konjac root, an Asian plant. Glucomannan works by giving the user a feeling of fullness, thus decreasing the desire to eat. It can absorb up to 200 times its weight in water, and it can also bind with various substances in the digestive tract to slow down digestion.

Many studies have found glucomannan to help with weight loss. Here are a few: Glucomannan and sensation of satiation, Glucomannan for treating obese children, and glucomannan in treatment of severe obesity. These are just a few of the many studies done on Glucomannan for the treatment of obesity.

So far so good, looks like Trimspa ephedra free has a good line up of ingredients.

Citrus Naringinine is a citrus flavinoid found mainly in grapefuit juice. It works by reducing appetite, and its also a fiber and antioxidant that helps fight free radicals preventing cell damage. Naringinine has also been shown to reduce LDL cholesterol (the bad kind)

Glucosamine HCI - studies have found Glucosamine to induce insulin resistance in subjects. "Glucosamine delays the effect of insulin in the body, sending glucose directly to your hard-working muscles for energy, instead of being transferred and deposited as ugly fat! " - quote taken from Trimspa website.

Now, maybe I'm missing something, but when I looked this up, this doesn't seem to be all the positive. Insulin stimulates glucose uptake in to tissues, and with insulin resistance, your tissues have a diminished ability to respond to insulin. This is characteristic of conditions such as obesity, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes. The amount in Trimspa ephedra free is minimal and is unlikely to cause any of those conditions. So I really don't see why this is in the mix.  On the plus side, glucosamine is very good for your joints. Read about Glucosamine and joints here.

Cocoa Extract - is the diuretic in Trimspa ephedra free that helps get rid of the extra water. It is derived from the Cacao tree, and it has been long used in South America for its mild stimulating effects. The cocoa extract is standardized for theobromine, which is a main compound in chocolate that can boost the mood and energy.

Green tea extract: what can you say about green tea? Pretty much everything good, and nothing bad. Take a look:

  • Green tea is a powerful antioxidant. (Antioxidants control all the free radicals in your body, which can be harmful.)
  • It helps block the cancer-promoting actions of carcinogens, ultraviolet light from the skin, stomach, small intestine, liver or lung.
  • The polyphenols in green tea extract shows promising results supporting weight loss through increasing energy expenditure.

Hoodia Gordonii Cactus - is quite a new ingredient in Trimspa, but it has been used in south Africa as a natural appetite suppressant. This was originally patented by the South African Council, and now, Pfizer is developing a diet pill based on this plant called P57, which is supposed to suppress appetite.

Trimspa Ephedra Free Conclusions

Overall, Trimspa Ephedra Free looks like a good fat burner, with its main weight loss mechanism being appetite suppressing ingredients such as Chromium, Vanadium, Glucomannan, Citrus Naringinine, and hoodia Gordonii Cactus. It also has some mild thermogenics and diuretics such as the cocoa extract and green tea extract. To say the least, you should feel your urge to eat suppressed, and couple this with a sensible diet, regular exercising, you should be on your way to some weight loss.
