Zenith formulator Vietal Nutrition has provided Awakend with a
prepared statement
explaining the origins of the supplement.

The move follows Awakend failing to be transparent about the origins of Zenith supplement, leading to ongoing uncertainty.

BehindMLM suspected something was amiss with Zenith after we spotted
Awakend distributing a doctored research study
.

The study was published in 2008, some fourteen years before Zenith existed. To get around that Awakend inserted “Zenith” into the study without explanation, leading us to report on the study being doctored.

This prompted Zenith to include a disclaimer, acknowledging the study pertained to “the supplement”.

This document has been edited to remove the original brand name of the supplement now known as Zenith.

The “original brand name” was Trisynex, widely available for far cheaper than what Awakend had priced Zenith at. Pointing this out created uncertainty as to the retail viability of Awakend as an MLM opportunity.

The FTC has repeatedly clarified that MLM companies without significant retails ales are
operating as pyramid schemes
.

In what appears to be an effort to put the matter to rest, Zenith formulator has provided a statement from their attorneys.

Said statement has been attached as a foreword to the 2008 Trisynex study provided on Awakend’s website.

As I understand it, Trisynex was first marketed by Max International as Max WLX.

Sometime in the late 2000s Max International and Imagenetix developed their own Trisynex clone formula, which appears to have been a disaster (people fell ill, the supplement didn’t work etc.).

Long story short; Max International is still around, Max WLX and Imagenetix aren’t. TriPharma sued Imagenetix into bankruptcy oblivion in 2012.

TriPharma claim to be formulators of the original Trisynex supplement.

Trisynex … has been utilized by TriPharma LLC in the marketing and sale of TriPharma’s weight loss product since 2007.

TriPharma has since rebranded as Vietal Nutrition.

Enter Roger Catarino (right),  and his companies First Fruits Business Ministry and First Fruits Beverages Company.

TriPharma claim Catarino and his First Fruits businesses have “sought to acquire, infringe upon, and even adulterate” Trisynex.

A search for Catarino’s First Fruit companies on Pacer reveals no less than 40 case dockets – a good number of which pertain to TriPharma.

Vietal Nutrition, as TriPharma, claims it obtained

a 2013 injunction and nearly $4.5 million judgment for fraud against infringing parties Roger Catarino personally, and his companies First Fruits Business Ministry LLC, and now defunct First Fruits Beverage Company LLC.

TriPharma LLC has fought to defend those rights against baseless claims and fraudulent activities by Mr. Catraino and the First Fruits infringers in the California courts, including seeking to enforce the 2013 Judgment that has grown, with interest, to over $7 million, still unpaid by Mr. Catarino and the First Fruits infr
