Creation Story
The global search to discover the secret of wellness
Deep in the dense jungles of the Amazon Rainforest, in the remote
valleys nestled in the shadow of Tibet’s Himalayan Mountains, in the
depths of crystal-blue oceans, and in a multitude of other exotic and
far-flung locales around the globe, nature has provided an awe-inspiring
wealth of nutraceuticals.
Nutrients that have the power to not only sustain life, but to even
protect mankind from disease and prolong his longevity; nutrients that
literally hold the secret of wellness. For the past several years, Trévo
has been on a worldwide quest to unlock nature’s secrets, to identify
and obtain her most prized nutraceuticals.
Applying the nutraceutical knowledge gained during our global
research, Trévo has created a one-of-a-kind blend of 174 of the very
finest ingredients that nature has to offer, gathered from the four
corners of the globe and masterfully combined into a delicious, highly
bio-available liquid.
1) South America
We uncovered amazing stories of South American tribes who enjoyed
glowing good health and an amazing resistance to even the most dreaded
diseases. So we looked to the Amazon Rainforest, home to some of
medicine’s most stunning pharmacological discoveries.
There we found the
graviola tree, which has been
cultivated in Peru since pre-Columbian times. In fact, its fruit was
often represented in ceramics of the time. We found that local legends
tell of indigenous peoples who often utilized different parts of the
graviola tree, such as the bark, root, leaves, fruit and seeds, for
medicinal use in the treatment of diabetes, indigestion, intestinal
parasites, and even certain types of cancer. They even used graviola as a
type of very mild sedative.
Another rainforest nutritional treasure is the fabulous
camu camu
berry. Folklore tales dating back more than 700 years describe
Amazonian Indian tribes using this fruit to effectively help treat
infections, decrease pain, strengthen joints, and even maintain
longevity. Today, scientists have found that the camu camu fruit is rich
in Vitamin C and contains 30 to 60 times more vitamin C than an orange
or lemon. The camu camu berry is also an excellent source of calcium,
phosphorus, potassium, iron, and various amino acids. Besides its
vitamin and mineral content, the fruit is also rich in anthocyanins,
amino acids, flavonoids and has very strong antioxidant activity.
As our quest for nutritional knowledge continued, we turned our eyes toward the
acai berry.
For centuries, the acai berry has been eaten and used for medicinal
reasons by the natives of the Amazon rainforests. And, of course, we
were fascinated to learn the legend of the acai.
This legend tells how the palm tree that produces the acai berry was
discovered accidentally by an Amazon Indian girl named Iaca, the
daughter of a tribal chieftain. Facing devastating famine, this chief
declared that no children would be allowed to be born into the tribe
until a new food source was found. Iaca, the chief’s own daugher, was
with child at the time. After her child was sacrificed, a grief-stricken
Iaca ran into the forest that there discovered the acai palm bearing a
wealth of bountiful dark purple fruit. Tragically, the discovery of this
new food source could have saved the life of Iaca’s daughter, causing
it to be called “the fruit that cries.” The tribe’s leader named the
fruit acai (Iaca inverted) in honor of his daughter, and his tribe once
again prospered.
From a health standpoint, the acai berry is one of the most
nutritious and powerful foods in the world. Acai contains a remarkable
concentration of antioxidants that help combat premature aging, as well
as valuable phytonutrients and a nearly perfect amino acid complex. Some
of the more well-known health benefits of the acai include weight
management support, increased energy and enhanced mental focus, not to
mention cardiovascular and circulatory support.
Continuing our search through the lush jungles of South America, we
heard amazing stories of how the Mapuche Indians of Chile have, for
centuries, been known for their remarkable strength and endurance. We
discovered that
maqui berries have, for many hundreds
of years, been a dietary staple of the Mapuches. According to legend,
the ancient Mapuche regarded maqui as a sacred and powerful plant, and
used maqui fruit as an essential part of its medical practices.
But the most exciting and legendary use of maqui was the strength,
stamina and overall good health it provided to Mapuche warriors. The
Spanish conquistadors who were repeatedly defeated by the Mapuche tribes
reportedly said that the extreme stamina and strength of the natives
came from the daily consumption of a beverage made from the maqui berry.
Our South American quest for knowledge, however, did not end in Chile. We also found that that the ancient Incas treasured
pau d’arco
as a major plant source used to promote health and immunity. In fact,
indications imply that the use of pau d’arco may actually pre-date the
Incas. We found that they Guarani and Tupi tribes called the pau d’arco
tree “tajy,” which means “to have strength and vigor.” They used the
bark not only to fashion hunting bows but also to treat a variety of
health conditions. A tonic made from the pau d’arco tree was
traditionally used for good health, strength and endurance.
2) Far East
Next, we turned our investigation toward the mysterious Far East.
There we discovered marvelous stories of remarkable longevity and
good health, even in extremely remote and undeveloped villages. These
stories all seemed to be connected to the wonders of centuries-old
Ayurvedic traditional medicine. Roughly translated, the word Ayurveda,
or Ayurvedic, means “the science of life.”
We began our research of the Far East in northern India, where we found the
amalaki
tree. This amazing tree enjoys a prominent position in Indian culture
and is celebrated during the amalaki fruit harvesting season. Under the
glow of a full moon, families gather under nearby amalaki trees and give
thanks for the bounty of these trees. Folklore says that even just
sitting under an amalaki tree will lead to greater vitality, strength,
and overall health. Amalaki is highly regarded in Ayurveda for promoting
the perfect digestion that leads to radiant health and youthful aging
as well as shining eyes, skin and hair.
Next, we discovered that the fabulous
bacopa has
been revered for centuries in the Ayurvedic herbal traditions of India.
It is said that the use of bacopa for memory enhancement goes back 3,000
years or more in India, when it was discovered to benefit brain
function, including memory and learning skills, and to help manage
anxiety, depression and stress. A traditional Ayurvedic medicine used to
treat mental disorders and epilepsy, this wonder-herb appears to
strengthen memory as well as improve mental focus and concentration by
enhancing the conductivity of nerve tissue.
One of our most exciting and joyous discoveries involved the
goji berries
of Tibet. The natives of this mountainous region say that eating goji
berries in the morning will make you happy the entire day, as its
amazing nutritional properties create a sense of well-being and
optimism. Indeed, nomadic peoples of Mongolia and Tibet have, for many
centuries, found that regular consumption of goji berries supports a
long, vigorous and happy life.
Loaded with nutrients and powerful antioxidants, 18 amino acids, more
beta carotene than carrots, 21 trace minerals, more iron than spinach,
500 times more vitamin C by weight than oranges, 13% protein and many
other vitamins and minerals including calcium, magnesium, vitamins B1,
B2, B6, and E, goji berries feature prominently in both ancient and
current Tibetan medicine.
Looking back to India, we set out on the trail of an herb so powerful
that its name in Sanskrit is“Brahmi,” which means wisdom or
consciousness.
Gotu kola, an ancient medicinal herb
used in India, Indonesia and China for thousands of years, has long been
associated with enhanced energy, improved brain function, and
longevity. In fact, we discovered that gotu kola has been called one of
the “miracle elixirs of life” because legend has it that an ancient
Chinese herbalist lived for more than 200 years as a result of using
this remarkable herb. According to Ayurveda, the gotu kola herb is one
of the chief herbs for revitalizing the nerves and brain cells; hence,
it is primarily known as a “brain food” in India.
Another Far East herb that boasts quite a fascinating legend is
ashwagandha.
This herb has been used for 4,000 years in India and is featured
prominently in the ancient art of Ayurveda where it is used to boost
energy and vitality. Sometimes called Indian Ginseng, Ayurvedic medicine
refers to ashwagandha as both a vitalizer and a mood-stabilizer.
One other nutritional jewel from the Far East that captivated our imagination and attention was the
schizandra berry.
This remarkable berry has a long history going back many centuries and,
according to ancient Chinese herbal texts, it was believed that
schizandra could “prolong the years of life without aging.” The fact
that it has been in continuous use for at least 5,000 years and has been
horded, revered, and praised by the cultures of China, Japan, and Korea
demonstrates that the reputation of schizandra is well-founded.
3) South China Sea
The next stop on our worldwide quest was the beautiful South China Sea where we found a delicious fruit with quite a royal name.
The
mangosteen fruit has such an exquisite flavor
that it has been given the nickname of the”Queen of Fruits.”
Interestingly, mangosteen has been used for thousands of years in
Chinese, Ayurvedic and folk medicine in Asia. Dried and ground, these
traditional medical practices used the rind against internal and
external infections. Poultices of the whole mangosteen were used to
treat skin conditions, and an extract of mangosteen pulp was used to
control fever. The mangosteen has also been reported to have been relied
upon as nutrition for individuals who, because of illness, were unable
to eat other foods. Exceptionally rich in xanthones and
antioxidant-packed nutrients, mangosteen is not only a wonderfully
delicious superfood, it also offers up amazing health benefits.
4) South Pacific
We then turned our attention to the wealth of nutritionally-rich exotic fruits found in the glorious South Pacific area.
Our tropical trek brought us to the amazing
noni.
This miraculous plant was named “noni” by ancient Hawaiian healers who
treasured its astounding medicinal properties. References to the use of
noni date back many centuries and there are almost 40 recorded herbal
remedies from these healers of old that involve combinations of the noni
root, stems, bark, leaves, flowers and fruit. In fact, medicinal use of
the noni plant is even mentioned in ancient Sanskrit writings from
India.
From a nutritional standpoint, this tropical powerhouse has long been
known for its beneficial effect when it comes to emotional and mental
wellness. And although the jury is still out on precisely what makes
noni work, a number of clinical studies indicate that noni’s high
xeronine content works at a cellular level, making noni extremely
helpful for burns, digestion, heart health, and immune system health.
Plus, its antioxidant properties are quite possibly an important key in
unlocking the secrets of anti-aging and longevity.
5) The Big Blue Marble
Next we dove into the brilliant blue oceans that have given our planet the nickname of “the big blue marble.”
The first “pearl” of underwater nutrition that we encountered was the sea vegetable called
bladderwrack.
Now, bladderwrack has been a part of natural medicine for centuries,
with recorded use dating back to at least the 19th century. Sometimes
called “sea wrack,” bladderwrack was found to be particularly beneficial
in the treatment of thyroid disorders and obesity. Even back then,
physicians found that the high iodine content of this herb appeared to
stimulate thyroid function, which boosted metabolism.
Nutritionally, bladderwrack is rich in iodine, calcium, magnesium,
potassium, sodium, sulfur, silicon and iron and high in some B-complex
vitamins. In addition to phosphorus, selenium, manganese, zinc and small
amounts of vitamins A, C, E and G, bladderwrack also contains the
anti-sterility vitamin S as well as vitamin K.
Swimming on through the sparkling forests of sea vegetables, we found another amazing sea vegetable called
dulse.
Found in the waters of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, an absolutely
charming legend surrounds the delicate dulse. In the coastal villages of
Northern Ireland, it is often said that throwing dulse into a body of
water will bring peace to the thrower. To this day, it is not uncommon
to find sandwiches of bread and nutrient-rich dulse leaves gracing the
lunch tables of Ireland.
When it comes to nutrition, though, dulse is much more than folklore.
Possessing a mildly spicy flavor, dulse is extremely high in vitamins
B6 and B12, as well as iron, potassium and fluoride. Unlike other sea
vegetables, it is relatively low in sodium. This delicious sea vegetable
also contains a large shopping list of other vitamins and nutrients,
including vitamins C, E, and A, magnesium, calcium, dietary fiber and
protein. Additionally, dulse is a natural source for Iodine, essential
for thyroid gland and thyroid hormone secretion.
6) Okinawa Japan
Our last underwater adventure took us to the gloriously blue waters
surrounding the islands of Okinawa, Japan. There, the pristine Pacific
is home to a very unique form of coral; Sango coral, to be exact. As far
back as the 1700’s, this particular type of coral was found in European
medical reference books as “coral to purify the blood.” (“Palestra
Farmaceutica Quimico-Alencia” anno 1792 by Felix Palacios)
The startling benefits of the naturally-occurring
coral calcium complex
derived from Sango coral took the modern-day center stage in 1979, when
a British journalist from the Guinness Book of Records went on
assignment to the islands of Okinawa and Tokunoshima off the coast of
Japan to interview the world’s oldest documented living person.
What this journalist found was not only a man 115 years old with
remarkably good health and vitality who had worked until the age of 105,
but also that most of the islands’ inhabitants seemed to enjoy similar
good health and longevity. Soon, a team of researchers arrived and made
an important discovery. They found that these islanders had one thing in
common. The water they drank was different from water found anywhere
else in the world, apparently due to its high coral calcium content.
Upon analysis of coral calcium complex, it was discovered that this
nutritional wonder contains over 70 trace minerals essential to life, as
well as a wealth of antioxidants and a form of calcium that is
exceptionally bio-absorbable. It even appears to be beneficial in
maintaining the body’s ideal pH balance, which is vital for long-lasting
good health.
But we wanted Trévo to be much more than just an exotic fruit
or herbal drink. We wanted it to become the embodiment of the phrase
“super-nutrition.”
So we included all the
vitamins and
minerals
that medical research has found to be essential for vibrant good
health, increased energy, enhanced mental focus, and a sustained sense
of well-being. However, we did not stop there. Scientists and physicians
alike understand the importance of
essential fatty acids,
amino acids and
supergreen foods, as well as a good variety of
fruits and
vegetables
in order to restore and maintain good health. So our chemists and world
class formulators set out to raise the nutritional bar even higher.
For example, Trévo contains a full complement of
vegetarian-based amino acids
because without amino acids all of the metabolic processes necessary to
spark and sustain human life would simply not be possible. Amino acids
form the proteins that in turn form muscle tissue and increase fat
metabolism.
Look in the cupboard of just about any serious athlete, and you will
likely find some kind of amino acid supplement product designed to help
them increase strength, build muscle tissue, or otherwise enhance their
athletic performance. However, amino acids are not just important to
those who wish to “bulk up.” Without amino acids, all cellular
development, respiration, or renewal would come to a devastating stop.
Similarly,
essential fatty acids are … well,
essential. Essential fatty acids, sometimes simply referred to as EFAs,
are necessary fats that the human body cannot synthesize and must be
obtained through diet. EFAs support the cardiovascular, reproductive,
immune and nervous systems. The human body needs EFAs to manufacture and
repair cell membranes, enabling the cells to obtain optimum nutrition
and expel harmful waste products. Trévo provides a wealth of Omega-3 and
Omega-6 essential fatty acids by including two botanicals that are
naturally rich in EFAs – borage seed oil and flaxseed oil. No unpleasant
“fishy” taste, just wonderfully fresh, completely vegetarian-source
essential fatty acids.
Supergreen foods such as wheatgrass, barley grass,
alfalfa, spirulina, chlorella and kelp are some of the other nutritional
treasures included in Trévo’s remarkable formulation. For example,
researchers agree that
wheatgrass, which is the
delicate, immature wheat plant before it produces seeds, is loaded with
protein, containing more of this nutrient than meat, eggs, fish, or
dairy products. Similarly,
barley grass is rich in
amino acids, enzymes, calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, copper,
phosphorus, mangangese, zinc, beta carotene, B vitamins, vitamins C and
E, and selenium. Rich in B-complex vitamins,
chlorella
contains more pantothenic acid (an anti-stress nutrient) than any other
natural source. It also boasts magnesium and other trace minerals, and
is an all-purpose cleanser than can rid the body of many environmental
toxins.
Spirulina, like wheatgrass, is a particularly
rich source of protein. It is also one of the few plant sources of
vitamin B-12 and is a good source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and free
radical-fighting antioxidants.
At the conclusion of Trévo’s global search for the secret of wellness, we had compiled 174 of the finest and most astonishing ingredients that nature has to offer, gathered from the far reaches of the globe.
The result is a carefully balance nutritional product that is so
unique, so revolutionary, that there is literally no other product like
it on the market anywhere. With Trévo, you and your family can enjoy the
benefits of truly
complete
nutrition. The beauty of our globe-spanning formulation is that it
actually replaces what the body is missing from today’s
nutrient-depleted diets. And, because of the way our scientists have
designed its formulation, Trévo will work just as well for a 2-year-old
as it will for adults of all ages. It really is the best of all
nutritional worlds! It is, in fact, the answer to your family’s need for
complete, natural nutrition.
So, are you ready to enjoy increased energy, enhanced mental focus,
vibrant good health and even weight management support? If so, Trévo is
the answer you have been searching for.
Trévo – your family’s secret to unlocking the power of wellness.
