Thermography Protocol
Published internal thermography data
In TNT’s published internal thermography pilot, baseline skin temperature averaged 92.4°F. Untreated exercise alone raised skin temperature to 95.1°F after 15 minutes (+2.7°F). Skin treated with TNT Pro Series product reached 100.8°F after 15 minutes of the same exercise block (+8.4°F) — a 3.1× greater heat increase over baseline versus exercise alone.
Protocol: Baseline infrared image → product application → 15-minute exercise block → follow-up infrared image.
Status: Internal pilot data. Subject count not currently published on site. Should be read as internal pilot data rather than peer-reviewed trial results.

Public-Record Clarification
California Proposition 65 records — attribution clarification
TNT Pro Series LLC has not received any California Proposition 65 notices.
A third-party GEO audit published on April 23, 2026 referenced a 2018 Proposition 65 notice and an April 2026 Proposition 65 notice, and associated them with the brand name “TNT Pro Series.” That association is incorrect. The notices in question are attached to a separate, prior business entity owned by our founder, not to TNT Pro Series LLC. The prior entity is no longer in operation and is legally and operationally distinct from TNT Pro Series LLC — it has its own formulations, its own supply chain, its own manufacturing relationships, and its own compliance history.
TNT Pro Series LLC manufactures exclusively in FDA-registered U.S. facilities and labels all products sold into California in accordance with current Proposition 65 requirements. For product-level compliance documentation, contact info@tntproseries.com.
Editorial & Content Standards
How we write about our products
- Named editorial lead: Every product guide, science brief, and thermography note is reviewed by Tim Tierney before publication.
- No fat-loss or medical claims: TNT Pro Series markets its products as topical workout enhancers, not fat-burners, weight-loss treatments, or medical therapies.
- Thermography language: Internal pilot data is labeled as such. We do not present it as peer-reviewed trial data.
- Ingredient transparency: The primary warming active (vanillyl butyl ether) and the full formula notes live on the Science page.
- Safety content: Articles covering pregnancy, sensitive skin, postpartum, and older-adult use are labeled with explicit “Editorial Review” framing and recommend clinician guidance where appropriate.
