Geranium oil extract, or 1, 3-dimethylamylamine , is the hot new ingredient in many pre-workout powders and fat burners. Geranium extract mimics the body’s own chemical messanger, epinephrine (adrenaline). If
you couldn’t guess it has a strong central nervous system stmulating
effect, i.e. increased energy, mental clarity and physical performance. This stuff is ultra potent and is even great for fat loss. Geranium
works through a similar pathway as ephedrine causing an increase in
cAMP, the chemical messanger that triggers fat release, appetite
suppression and thermogenisis. I personally think geranium extract will eventually replace ephedrine. I feel its a better alternative with less of a crashing effect and no jitters. If you haven’t tried any products containing this wonder herb you are in for a treat. Supplements
containing geranium extract include Intek’s Thermogenic Revolution
(strongest fat burner post ephedrine ban), USP Lab’s Jack3d, BioRhythm’s
SSIN Juice, MSI’s Lean PreWorkout Revolution.
Geranium 20
Stack with Caffeine to amplify its fat burning potential!
There are more than 40 constituents of geranium oil,but the one
thatï¾’s currently found in bodybuilding and sports supplements is
usually referred to by its trademarked name Geranium. There are several
different names for Geranamine that are currently being used on
supplement labels, but they all mean the same thing.
Some of the other names are:
1,3-dimethylamylamine
dimethylamylamine (DMAA)
methylhexaneamine, 4-methyl-2-hexanamine
4-methyl-2-hexylamine
2-amino-4-methylhexane
1,3-dimethylpentylamine
Floradrene
GERANIUM 20
If you can believe it, this compound was actually first researched and
discovered back in the early 1940s! Pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly
filed for a patent on methylhexaneamine in 1944 and intended to use it
as a nasal decongestant because of its bronchodilating properties. Now
fast-forward about 60 years later to the year 2005. This is when a good
friend of mine named Patrick Arnold, who is best known for discovering
prohormones and being front and center in the BALCO steroid scandal,
rediscovered this unique compound after reviewing the old patent.
Patrick, who founded the supplement company Ergopharm, is a genius when
it comes to rediscovering old drugs that never made it to market and
figuring out how they can be classified as dietary supplements under the
Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA). You see,
although Geranium is technically not FDA approved, it can still be used
in supplements because itï¾’s a component of geranium oil, which is
approved for use in foods. This is just one of the many loop holes that
Patrick has figured out, and thatï¾’s why he was the first to include
his trademarked version of Geranium he named "Geranamine" in the
original version of his AMP fat burner formula back in 2006. All right,
so enough of this history lesson. Now let me explain how Geranamium can
enhance fat loss. First off, it affects the central nervous system (CNS)
by acting as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor and a
norepinephrine-releasing agent. This allows the body to secrete more
norepinephrine and epinephrine, which are the bodyï¾’s most powerful
fat-burning hormones. Geranium also has a synergistic effect with
caffeine, which can amplify fat burning and to a much greater degree
than when either of these stimulants is used on its own.
