5-Methoxytryptamine HCL

Alpha-Phenylethylamine HCL

Caffeine is a stimulant drug used for mental alertness and to accelerate energy and power. It is also used to delay muscle fatigue as it goes deep into the muscle tissues.

L-Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid, which is used by the cells in order to synthesize the proteins and appears to help stabilize ones mood during periods of high stress levels.

Methylsynephrine is a variation of B – phenylehylamine which is found in the rare medicinal plant Acacia Rigidula and some other cacti which basically produces central nervous stimulation. Methylsynephrine is one of the newly identified key alkaloids in Acacia Rigidula. Methylsynephrine is an off the chain version of Synephrine. It is an adrenergic amine which accelerates fat metabolism as well as thermogenisis. These simultaneously speed up the fat burning process. Methylsynephrine, unlike ephedrine which is chemically similar, has mild stimulating properties on the central nervous system. This is a very desirable property in any weight loss compound as it allows for quick fat burning without the accompanying racing hear and anxiety. Methylsynephrine is also distinctive due to its role in the metabolization and the destruction of fat in the body by freeing up the stored fat for energy instead of using the ingested carbohydrates.

N-Benzyl-Alpha-Phenylethylamine

N-Methyl-B-Phenylethylamine- B- Phenylethylamine is an amine found in trace amounts in brain tissue in mammals. It can be synthesised by the body through enzymatic decarboxylation of phenylalanine, an amino acid. B-Phenylehtylamine is also found in high concentrations in plants and thus individuals tend to have a high intake of this compound as part of their diet, being a part of chocolate and the oil of bitter almonds. Apart from the diet, it can also be taken as a medicine or a dietary supplement. Regardless of how it is consumed, B-Phenylethylamine is most commonly associated with the pleasure centres of the brain and is considered to be a ‘feel good’ hormone. Recently newer forms of B-Phenylethylamine like N-Methyl-B-Phenylethylamine have been used in dietary supplements. These have been suggested to be more resistant to degradation and thus offer a longer lasting effect of the compound. N-Methyl-B-Phenylethylamine has also been reported to have a better ability of crossing the blood brain barrier, thus being more effective.

N-Methyl-Phenylethylamine

Phenylethlamine HCL

R-Beta-Methylphenylethylamine HCL is a relatively new compound which is the active isomer of Methylphenylethylamine similar to how 1R-25 Norephedrine was of PPA many years ago. What makes R-Beta-Methylphenylethylamine HCL very popular and an important component for many commercially produced weight loss products is to do with the effects it has on the human body. R-Beta-Methylphenylethylamine HCL is a compound which stimulates norepinephrine unlike any other compound in the body. By stimulating norepinehrine, R-Beta-Methylphenylethylamine HCL produces effects like appetite suppression, increase in energy and through the combination of these two effects, there is an overall result of weight loss.

Synephrine HCL- Synephrine Hydro Chloride is commonly believed to have properties that assist is increasing the metabolic rate of the body and boost energy. It is similar to ephedrine and caffeine and stimulates the metabolism of fat without cardiovascular side effects. The supplement is used by athletes for building muscular mass through an increased metabolism in the body. Other than the aforementioned uses, it is used as a laxative and an aromatic expectorant. Synephrine HCL does have its side effects and it is advised that the supplement not be used for more than three days at a stretch. Because of its potency, it can lead to an increase in the heart rate, anxiety, rise in blood pressure, nervousness and an inability to urinate, which are dangerous complications.

Theobromine, which is a mild diuretic and mild stimulant. Theobromine can be found in cocoa and chocolate products. Theobromine is most commonly used for its diuretic effect.

Yohimbine HCL is a bark and is appropriate for sexual dysfunction. This is the best for erection problems as it has alkaloids. The alkaloids possess medicinal properties and are used in drugs. Yohimbine meant the chemical found on the Yohimbe bark. This belongs to the chemical family called alkaloids. Yohimbine effects are impressive. Yohimbine is used since many centuries for sexual enhancement. This bark is now sold in alkaloid concentrations such as 4%, 8% and so on up to 20%. The higher is the concentration, the more is the potent. There are companies promoting it for weight loss as well. Yohimbine HCL exhibits side effects in the form of anxiety. This bark is dangerous when consumed in excessive amounts. Higher oral doses create numerous side effects like high blood pressure, rapid heart rate and over stimulation. It also causes sleeplessness and insomnia in users. It is best to take this only after the consultation of a physician or should be taken in minimal quantities.
