Synephrine

Synephrine HCl is an alkaloid extract of bitter orange (Citrus x aurantium L.) peels. Synephrine is similar structurally to ephedrine, and like ephedrine it acts as an adrenergic (adrenaline-like) stimulant. Even so, synephrine is not as potent as ephedrine and is found, at least by some studies, to be much less active in the central nervous system. Further synephrine has not been demonstrated to produce (at least in oral doses) the severe side-effects and toxicity of ephedrine. Synephrine still appears to act upon most adrenergic receptors, including the alpha-1 receptors which can constrict blood vessels causing increased blood pressure, and to a lesser degree the beta receptors, which can increase heart rate and contractility. It appears that synephrine' primary action, though, is through activation of the beta-3 adrenergic receptors that are found on fat cells, thus promoting weight loss by breakdown of fat. Synephrine also should not be confused with neosynephrine (phenylephrine), a drug often used as a nasal decongestant.
 
From what I understand, Hoodia (as used by the people who used it originally) was something they chewed on (the leaves). It's got much less (if any) effect when orally ingested...that's why you see all the hoodia chewing gums and shit.

The pills aren't as effective.
 
Isnt hoodia a appetite suppressant, if your are bulking, why would you want to suppress you appetite?

Or are you cutting?
 
wife tried it didnt do anything for her.

the best thing she has found that works is drinking a cup of hot greetea when she is hungry it makes her hunger goaway and help with the metabolic process.

Its cheap can buy 200 bags at the veit-store around the corner for 10$

Sir Anthony,

most "hoodia" on the market is NOT standardized for the actives that are associated with its benefits. Largely associated with availability.

I'm not 100% sure about that. I know that if you absorb nicotine buccaly (dip, etc..) you get a totally different result than if you take a pill, and I know that hoodia was discovered with people who take it bucally...
 
oh no I am not arguing your point at all :) though I have not looked into it.

Just stateting that even if it DID work the material available commonly IS NOT the genuine article.

cool...thanks for heads up...yea currently on ECA/clen/t3/test prop. Its just hard for me to sleep when I have a hole in my stomach from hunger. It's hard to have chicken breast readily available at 3am, or get up from bed and make a protein shake.. Diet has always been hard work for me, bc it requires hard work :p but I gotta do what I gotta do

Oh...no, I'm not arguing the point...I'm legitimately saying I am not 100% sure about it. I am new to the business/technical side of supplements, so I don't know much about that kind of thing.
