Synephrine is a well known bronchial dilator, and is used extensively in with diet pills and weight loss formulas. It is first choice to take place of ephedrine in weight loss formula. Its primary use in the trade is to treat chest congestion and indigestion, stimulate gastrointestinal functions, and improve circulatory and liver functions.

It has been clinically proven that the combination of these adrenergic amines stimulate beta-3 receptors with minimal impact on other receptor sites. This function of increasing the metabolic rate without affecting heart rate or blood pressure. They release adrenaline and noradrenaline only in the beta-3 receptor sites. It does not cross the blood-brain barrier.

Stimulation of the beta-3 receptor sites elicits the breakdown of lipolysis (fat). Simultaniously, this stimulation increases the metabolic rate (thermogenesis), which burns calories. Synephrine offers all the advantages of a stimulant, without the drawbacks. It functions to burn fat, increase physical performance, and build lean muscle mass.

Active:

• 1) As a dietary supplement designed to support calorie burning (thermogenesis) and resulting weight loss.
• 2) It also helps to clean the blood and has been reported to dissolve kidney stones.
• 3) Synephrine is a stimulant, similar to caffeine and ephedrine, it is thought to have similar effects in terms of providing an energy boost, suppressing appetite and increasing metabolic rate and caloric expenditure. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), zhi shi is used to help stimulate the Qi (energy force). Although synephrine and several other compounds found in zhi shi are structurally similar to ephedrine and are known to act as stimulants (via adrenergic activity), zhi shi does not appear to have the same negative central nervous effects of ma huang (ephedra).
