SYNEPHRINE EXTRACT   (C9H13NO2)
(Citrus aurantium Link)

Bitter Orange, also known as Seville Orange was known to the early Greeks, and was probably the first orange grown in Europe (twelfth century).  The unripe peel contains appreciable quantities of neohesperidin (14%), and five adrenergic amines (synephrine, N-methyltyramine, hordenine, ocdtopamine, and tyramine).

Synephrine is a well known bronchial dilator, and is used extensively in with diet pills and weight loss formulas.  It also serves as a substitute for ephedrine and caffeine.  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 shown that the combination of these adrenergic amines stimulate beta-3 receptors with minimal impact on other receptor sites.  This functions to increase the metabolic rate without affecting heart rate or blood pressure.  They release adrenaline and noradrenaline only in the beta-3 receptor sites (mostly adipose tissue and the liver).  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.

As existing thermogenics (such as ma huang) come under scrutiny from the FDA and state regulators, the natural products industry is in dire need of a new weight loss/fitness ingredient.  Synephrine functions in three specific ways: it burns fat, increases physical performance, and helps build lean muscle mass.
