Cathine (Alvalin®) a Legitimate 'New Ephedra'? 9.1kg vs. 2.4 kg Weight Lost, 165% Greater Waist Reduction in Humans

Written by | published on

You don't have to switch to eating pills, only. Don't worry. What you will still have to do, though, is to (a) clean up your diet, (b) stop eating everything in sight, and (c) achieve a caloric deficit. With its ability to reduce hunger and appetite, cathine may yet help you make that happen.  Let's be honest: ever since the classic ECA stacks have been banned from the market, there are neither over-the-counter, nor prescription weight loss supplements/drugs that work. Scientists from the Technical University of Munich (Germany | Hauner 2017) believe they can change that. Not by inventing a revolutionary new compound, but  by digging out a cousin of ... you guessed it: the good old ephedrine. Cathine is the name of the agent that was originally launched in the 1970s for the short-term treatment of diet-related obesity. Cathine is an alkaloid originally isolated from khat leaves grown in East Africa and the Arab peninsula and is a stable metabolite of cathinone, which ...

The yellow seeds of the lupine plant, known as lupin beans, were once a common food of the Mediterranean basin and Latin America - almost "paleo" ;-) Not really worth their own article, but certainly too good to be ignored. That's exactly how you can desribe the latest studies from the Baker IDI Heart and  Diabetes Institute  and the  King Saud University . Two studies that deal with the management of obesity and the metabolic difference by supplemental means. In the first study by Harisa et al. a single 43-year-old man with obesity, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, hyperuricemia and mild liver dysfunctions was put on a lupid (Lupineus luteus) containing low carbohydrate diet + improved lifestyle regimen for 6 years.

DAA is probably not going to hurt your heart, but it's more likely to father a child than to build those abs. Ephedrine & Caffeine on the other hand, could help you get there, but esp. if you are also smoking you are increasing the risk that the kids you fathered using DAA will soon be without their begetter. I guess most of all will have listened to the podcast of yesterday's installment of the SuppVersity Science Round Up already. If you didn't you have been missing Carl and me discuss new on the pro-carcinogenic effects of aspartame , the never-ending story of the fattening artificial sweeteners , the benefits of oat beta-glucans for weightloss, -maintenance and gut health, the way sorghum proanthocyanidins can lower the GI of carbohydrates and make them less susceptible to enzymatic breakdown in the small intestine, and more. Actually this more, i.e. the news on DHEA, its metabolits and their proliferative effect on breast cancer cells, as well as the info...

Image 1 ( odditycentral ): Jin Songhao , one of China’s most seasoned icemen and not exactly as lean as you may expect based on what you currently read around the blogosphere, managed to beat the previous world record for the longest ice bath - 120min! Congrats, Jin! Ephedrine for years the go-to OTC fat burner for physique athletes and average Joe's and Jane's alike is no longer (officially) available: No matter how bold the label claims about X mg of "ephedra extract" may be - NONE(!) of the currently available "ephedra based" over-the-counter (OTC) fat-burners contains significant amounts of the active alkaloids, which made the old Mua huang based herbal ephedra products so effective. Against that background, dieters are constantly on the look-out for novel "gimmicks" to help them finally get rid of those annoying love-handles. One of those gimmicks, which has caught quite some attention as of late, is called " cold thermogenesis ...

Image 1: Sida rhomboidea leafs contain ephedrine and other fat loss related alkaloids (Tan Hoard Exports) If you are a supplement producer, I suppose you will soon drop me an email to get the phone number of Ranjitsinh V. Devkar from the Division of Phytothrapeutics and Metabolic Endocrinology at the Department of Zoology of the M. S. University of Baroda in Gujarat, India. And, I must admit, if I had not always believed that "Nature knows best!" , I would probably have been similarly surprised as some of you will have been, when they read the title of this blogpost - the 'ingredient profile' of Sida rhomboidea ( also Sida rhombifolia ), or  "Mahabala" , a weed that is found in marshy places all across India and that has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries to treat fever, heart disease, ever, heart diseases, burning sensations, urinary disorders, piles and all kinds of inflammation, looks like it had been printed on a non-FDA-approved ...
