Methyl 17 alpha-hydroxy-yohiman-16alpha-carboxylate hydrochloride

Since yohimbine is now illegal in all of europe if im not mistaken, muscle tech has this compound in the hydroxycut hardcore pills and they claim on it being like yohimbine but BETTER?

any thoughts or advice?

Doubt it's better. A common process with supplement companies is to just take molecules, and stick shit on them to make the IUPAC (organic chemistry name) sound much more difficult, which in turn convinces people to think that "oh wow, I can't pronounce this, it must be really scientific and great."

As Creator said, yohimbine does have some nasty sides, and can cause really uncomfortable head rushes and high blood pressure. But, it is a good supplement for getting "stubborn fat" if you're at that level of leanness. There are some pretty good products for dieting which have small amounts of yohimbine in it.

Yohimbine works like this.

The two types of andrenergic receptors are alpha, and beta receptors. There receptors are couples to regulatory proteins called "G proteins." B- 1, 2, 3 are coupled to G stimulatory proteins. A-1 receptors, are also coupled to G stimulatory proteins. A-2 receptors on the other hand, are couples to G- Inhibitory proteins.

Activation of the G stimulatory proteins results in the formation of cAMP inside the cell. In turn, cAMP (through many ways) increases the activity of the enzyme hormone sensitive lipase (HSL), which is the main enzyme involved in fat burning.

G inhibitory proteins prevent cAMP from forming, which means less fat burning.

Yohmbine is a selective Alpha-2 receptor antagonist (blocker). What this means, is that blocks the receptor, which is tied to preventing cAMP. In a sense, it is "removing the brakes" on one signal which prevents fat burning. These alpha-2 receptors are densely located around the gut, which means there could possibly be a local fat burning effect.

Ephedrine it's also illegal in Spain. Mostly because of its recreational use, so perhaps it's legal in Holland, they've got all the goodies legalized :hyperguy:

^^ Personally, I wouldnt recommend it but I guess it comes down to how sensitive you are to stims. In my case, it would give me a heart attack, but thats just me. I would see how the hydroxycut works for you first and then decide if you want the extra help from ephedra. Ephedra wont make you burn fat any better, it just might help you get there a little faster.
