What is Synephrine?
Synephrine is a naturally occurring substance with proven fat‑burning effects. It is used either as a standalone fat burner or as part of fat burning complex. Synephrine is suitable for both recreational and elite athletes.
Synephrine Benefits
In the human body, synephrine indirectly increases the rate of thermogenesis (heat production), which occurs using fat stores. Additionally, through the activation of specific receptors, it slightly increases total energy expenditure. These processes mean that synephrine can support weight loss, always depending on the level of physical activity and diet. Other effects of synephrine include appetite suppression or increased performance in strength training (both alone and in combination with caffeine).
No negative effects have been proven for synephrine as long as you stay within the recommended doses.
Synephrine Dosage
The recommended dosage is 10‑20 mg of synephrine per day, which typically amounts to 1‑2 tablets. Scientific studies have, however, tested higher doses (50‑100 mg) without observing any side effects, but it is advisable to follow the general recommendations.
Synephrine has been shown to have positive synergistic effects when taken alongside caffeine or green tea extract. The recommended ratio between synephrine and caffeine is 1:10, i.e. 100 mg of caffeine per 10 mg of synephrine. Better results can also be achieved when combined with carnitine.
When to Take Synephrine?
Synephrine is most commonly taken 30 minutes before physical activity. Although synephrine, like other fat burners, can be used outside of physical activity, its combination with exercise yields the best results.
Synephrine has no stimulant effects, and its use in the evening or late afternoon does not affect sleep quality. However, care should be taken with other substances taken alongside it, e.g. caffeine.
