What You Should Know
Triadalean is a weight loss supplement from Covaxil Laboratories. The official website for the supplement offers no real information at all. We find tons of claims, but these claims are not associated with an ingredient list. It’s like the company expects the dieter to read through the description and say OK, I’ll take a chance. With all the dangerous ingredients out there today and all the product scams, there is no way the dieter is going to make that choice.
The official website for Triadalean also fails to provide links to any of the clinical support mentioned in the brief description. We found it extremely interesting to see a phrase on the box about the STACK. This refers to the ECA stack that was once so popular when ephedra was legal. Today, ECA is not legal, so there is no STACK in Triadalean.
List of Ingredients
Ingredients:
- Caffeine
- Citrus (Bitter Orange) Fruit Extract
- Guarana Extract
- Phenylethylamine Phenylethan-2-Amine
- Phenylethylamine Methylbenzylamine
- Phenylethylamine 1-Phenylethylamine
- Theobromine Extract
- Niacin
Product Features
When we did not find the complete ingredient list on the Triadalean website, we went in search of the list. Finally, we found the supplement for sale at GNC for $30 a bottle. GNC lists all the ingredients. There are four stimulants, three mood-boosters and one B vitamin. The B vitamin is added for a very interesting reason.
Caffeine, Bitter Orange, Guarana and Theobromine are all stimulants. Theobromine and guarana are typically standardized for caffeine, but there is no mention of standardization this time around. All ingredients are included in a proprietary blend containing 945 mg. The breakdown of each ingredient is not listed.
The three mood-altering ingredients are all phenylethylamines or derivatives of phenylethylamines. These ingredients are dangerous for people taking antidepressants and other mood-altering prescription medications. We found several warnings in this regard, including warnings on medical websites. At no time should a dieter with bipolar disorder take any supplement with phenylethylamine.
The final ingredient, Niacin, is added to make the dieter feel flush. That flush feeling is commonly used to make the dieter feel like the supplement is working.
Advantages
- All ingredients are listed online.
- The supplement contains one proven ingredient.
Disadvantages
- Contains multiple stimulants.
- Contains mood altering ingredients.
Conclusion
We are not fond of the proprietary blend that Triadalean uses. We’d like to know just how much of the 945 mg is stimulant and how much is the remaining five ingredients. There is a warning associated with using the supplement that dieters should heed. The warning states that there is 250 mg of xanthine mixture. Again, we have no idea what that means – caffeine is a xanthine, but it is not the only xanthine in the formula.

All in all I really liked these pills because they were a great addition to my diet and exercise. When I first started taking them my heart would beat rapidly and I would get dizzy at times. The worst part was having trouble getting to sleep at night. After a few weeks the dizziness went away but the pills made me VERY VERY drained and sleepy. I would drink nearly a pot of coffee and STILL not have enough energy. One night I got to the gym and had absolutely no motivation whatsoever to complete my workout. That’s when I decided to stop taking them. At first they were okay but I can’t handle the exhaustion in my fast paced life.
Hope this helps

I am on my second bottle of Triadalean, I have not had any negative side effects. I do feel fuller than normal. I don’t have any issues with this product..
[Reply]
I’m on my 2nd day of pills. It did increase my energy and decrease my appetite and while my heart is beating faster its no faster than if I drank a large redbull. My only concern is the mood swings. It doesn’t effect me like Adderall but I actually have ADD and took it in the 90′s when no one knew what amount to really prescribe. Adderall just made me anti-socail THIS stuff made me freaking crazy. I felt depressed all morning and about an hour ago I just broke down for no reason. I bawled for a 1/2 hour for no reason. I’m sure this works but for me it’s not worth it.
Diet and exersize that’s what I’m sticking to now. (btw if you do want to still buy these pills they were selling them for $20 at walmart)

I have been taking thid product for a week to round out my weight loss efforts. It has curbed out my appetite. I feel more energy, but not anxious or jittery, which many stimulants have done to me before; luckily not this time. I did experience a very mild headache for 2 days but it went away. So for, I have been satisfied with how Triadalean has been affecting me. I have seen an improvement in my mood and motivation.

i just bought a bottle today and it was sealed but there are 2 different looking pills in it. purple and white pills and brown pills that say max on it. the directions say nothing about it. Do I take one of each in the morning and at night?
[Reply]
Do NOT mess around with these pills unless you are ready to deal with the side effects. I tried them for two days and could barely function due to extreme upset stomach, dizziness and rapid heart rate. The box says to consult a doctor before use. I did not. Do yourself a favor and dont repeat my mistake. Check it out thoroughly before you buy it. I do hope it works better for others than it did me.

I’m bipolar but I choose to cope with no medications aside from a sedative (Trazodone) to sleep at night, is it still unsafe for me or just with any other medications? Does Trazadone effect it any way?

I just bought this pill and began taking 2 at 8:00 am and 2 at 11:00 am. Right away I noticed major changes. First, my heart beat feels different, I feel really anxious (especially when I’m sitting down), have an upset stomach (like I have diarrhea but I really don’t), and I could NOT fall asleep. The whole night my mind was on alert and id occassionally fall into these 5 minute trances…This is the end of my second day. I have noticed a decrease in my appetite and it seems I’ve lost 2 pounds, but who knows, it could be water weight. One more thing: I have not been able to exercise while on these. Yesterday I went to my birkham yoga class and almost passed out (shortness of breathe, etc) and today I tried running on the treadmill and again (shortness of breathe). I want to
Stay on them and see what happens, but I’m not trying to make myself feel like crap everyday. Does anyone have any comments or advice on this? Thank you!!

[Reply]

[Reply]
I bought TriaAdalean today. I have taken 1 Pill 20 minutes ago.
I need something to curb my appite to help me loose 10-12 lbs before
I have a much needed hip replacement surgery within this next year. I’m hoping for a little more weight loss but just 10lbs would be awesome. I do exercise as much as possible without aggravating my right lower side. I can’t do much walking anymore,other than everyday getting around. No more power walks like I used to do to keep my weight in check.
My big problem is that I cook & enjoy it but my down fall is eating
what I bake for my family , Yikes.. I’m 5’7′ & right now 170.. I will
update soon..

I just started taking these yesterday. I loved the boost it gave me at work. I slept last night but not well. The feeling of impending doom you mentioned is the mood enhancers. Mood enhancers do different things to different people depending on your chemical levels (i.e dopemine, serotonin, valproic acid(?) I know this is not what the chemical is called but if really low or really high it can cause chemical bipolar disorder) Also if you have undiagnosed ADD or ADHD which a lot of people do. I am 38 and when I was a kid there was no such thing as ADD or ADHD at least not as readily talked about as it is today. I was in a great mood all last night, probably due to this product. I would take it for that alone. I deal with a lot of stress and have a lot of belly fat as a result. I exercise moderately and eat like a bird yet I still have a lot of extra midsection weight because of stress. Im hoping this product will help. Ill check back in a week and let ya know
[Reply]
omg , i deal with stress and have tummy fat due to it , i had a csection and lost weight with out nothing fast in 2 weeks , and got back with the dad know triadalean here i come , stress does cause belly fat a doc eve told me that , you are so right hun

I was wondering if this product is available in canada, and if it has any side affects with trying to conceive children later on in life? Please help…
[Reply]
I’ve been on the pills for about six days and I have lost six pounds. It completely diminished my appetite, but gave me a serious upset stomach when( like another person said) I wasn’t active . It gave me incredible energy, but even when only taken once a day in the morning, I still had insomnia. I can feel them working. But tonight I have this crazy feeling of impending doom. This feeling is scaring me and I have decided to stop using the pills. There’s no doubt that the pills work, but the side effects have pressured me to try the old diet ad exercise again.
[Reply]
hello,just wondering if i can find this product in canada?
thanks
[Reply]
I have tried these pills, taking two at a time did increase my energy, but also gave me the shakes and made me nauseous. If I stayed busy the side effects went down, but the moment I was idol I would feel sick. I started to take one and I am able to cope with that. I don’t drink coffee or tea so this gives me that extra boost in the morning.
[Reply]
I have bought a bottle but to nervous to take them. I hear they work but ive never been a pill person. Do they make you shaky, or nervous feeling?
[Reply]
I got them as a legal alternative to adderall. Caffeine supplements and 5 hour energy give me cramps and diarrhea. Adderall doesn’t. Neither does this. I really love them. I am not trying to lose weight, or suppress my appetite per say. I needed a good boost to keep my energy up and maintain my weight. I accidentally lost 5 pounds taking these. Over the holidays! I ate everythingfrom cheesecake to chocolates. So they work.
[Reply]
Have there ever been reports of amphetimenes found in triadalean?
[Reply]
Of course, caffeine is an amphetamine. They also contain phenylethylamine from 3 sources and theobromine from cocoa. Its the blending that makes magic. Same as adderall. Adderall is a blend of prescription amphetamines and these are over the counter. Each on there owno, not great. Blended makes them powerful.If you have high blood pressure or a very overweight, they might not be safe.
[Reply]
No, caffeine is NOT an amphetamine. These are NOT like adderall. I’ve been on these for 4 days. So far, they do well with curbing my appetite and right now I’m noticing an edge in my energy, as if I want to go exercise. Cheers.

I get up at 1:30am to go to work. I can take 2 at that time. I’m trying to figure out when I should take the 2nd dose since I normally come home around 10:00 and go to sleep, getting up around 3:00 and back in bed by 8:00. Any suggestions?
[Reply]
You could take at 3:00 when you’re leaving for work. Will give you an energy boost if you’re ever tired before going in:-)
[Reply]
I have been t taking these pills for a week….great mood enhancer, I feel energetic, my appetite is definitely suppressed, first night couldn’t sleep, but now my sleep is fine. wt 217 at first now 213. I feel much better as a person.
[Reply]
did this pill enhance your sex life?
[Reply]
i started taking this pill about two weeks ago. i took two in the morning with a light breakfast and two at night with my biggest meal. i really liked this pill in the beginning. however, i started to see a significant change in my mood. i was having terrible mood swings. happy. sad. andry. happy. sad. angry. did this happen to anyone else?
[Reply]
I just got this I love it I have a nice boost of energy and feel great, not very hungry
[Reply]
I tried this product recently. I took 2 pills Friday morning, as instructed in the directions. Instead of giving me an energy boost, it did quite the opposite! It drained every last ounce of energy out of me. I was worthless the rest of Friday & all of Saturday. I have never felt that horrible from a pill. I didn’t eat much, but I’m not so sure it was due to the pills curbing my appetite or because I just didn’t have the energy to eat. I would not recommend this product to anyone!
[Reply]
Honestly, that sounds like a backed up colon. Unless you have add or adht, stimulants should never do that. If that exhaustion was followed by multiple bowel movements, you know that’s what was happening. The pills probably made it catch up with you quicker. I’d try them again if you experienced what I described.

you give great response jen
