Evodiamine, a bioactive alkaloid extract from the Evodiae Fructus plant, sometimes called Wu-Chu-Yu. Evodiamine is related to capsaicin, found in cayenne pepper. Evodiamine is a vanilloid receptor agonist, and may enhance lipolytic activity. Evodiamine has been shown to raise the body’s skin temperature and decrease core temperature, which is thought to burn calories and fat for energy.

Octopamine is a biogenic substance which is containing an amine group, apparently related to noradrenaline, which is a catecholamine functioning as both, neurotransmitter and a hormone. Similar to norepinephrine, which is another name for noradrenaline, octopamine may act as a stress hormone, triggering increased heart rate, energy consumption and blood flow, even the blood pressure. One side effect of octopamine is apparently the release of fat from the adipocytes, which are the fat cells where excess energy is being stored. This side effect prompted the use of octopamine as a dietary supplement aimed at weight loss, but used in combination with other stimulants. Octopamine has been discovered in the middle of the twentieth century, but the use as a fat removal agent is very recent.

Sclareolide is an all natural product and a terpenoid, an organic chemical which in similar form exists in plants with antifungal characteristics. It has already found wide usage in the body building and weight loss world as Norambrolide. This compound activates something called “cyclic adenosine monophosphate”, which is something similar to a messenger on a cellular basis, and is called cAMP. These cAMP messengers activate the body chemistry to remove fat out of their storage place, thereby promoting weight loss, which is a similar function that Ephedrine used to do, only Ephedrine was stimulating the adrenal glands. On the other hand, cAMP levels are increased by Sclareolide without sidetracking through the adrenal glands, a much safer and certainly more effective way to increase the metabolic rate.

Vinpocetine is a derivitate of the periwinkle plant and was developed in the latter part of the 1960’s. It can be used as a dietary supplement, which can be found online.
