Citrus Aurantium is the Latin name for a citrus tree which grows bitter oranges. Traditionally being used by Chinese medicine and herbologists, the extract of the orange and the peel was used as a dietary supplement in concoctions with other herbs to suppress appetite. While other active ingredients of the citrus aurantium may contribute and even promote the effect, the main ingredient used in all weight loss products is synephrine, an alkaloid similar to ephedrine. It is a phenethylamine; it influences the alpha1 adrenergic receptor, constricting blood vessels, additionally increasing the heart rate and the blood pressure. In most cases the use of synephrine is paired with a diet and body building plan, where weight loss and muscle building is essential.

It is converted into tyrosine in the body which stimulates the production of dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine. It helps treat and manage the symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), depression, and Parkinson’s disease. It also alleviates the symptoms from alcohol withdrawal. It also has the ability to reduce pains caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Phenylalanine also treats vitiligo, a skin pigmentation disorder. Phenylalanine may also help in weight loss because it aids in suppressing the appetite and cravings, and at the same time, it promotes the production of energy.

Yohimbe is an alkaloid and the active ingredient of a medicinal herb also known as Pausinystalia yohimbe, formerly named Corynanthe yohimbe. It is noted as a stimulant drug and also as an aphrodisiac. While the medicinal community has conducted numerous studies of yohimbe in conjunction with sexual dysfunctions, in veterinary medicine, yohimbine is employed as the antidode to anesthesia stemming from the drug xylazine in large and small animals. In recent times, yohimbine has been found to instigate fat loss in athletes when taken orally. There are also some formulations available, for a significant price, where yohimbine can be directly applied transdermally to adipose tissue, leading to a local reduction. This application is still in experimentation and should not be used without professional assistance.
