Added 2019-08-06 10:57:00 +0000 UTCMethylhexenamine is commonly known as 1,3-DMAA or Geranamine and is one of the most potent natural stimulants widely used by athletes. The active substance of this unique compound is a close cousin to amphetamine. Although DMAA can be naturally derived from rose geranium plant oil, it's banned by WADA. Nevertheless, DMAA and its derivatives are often the main ingredient of fat-burning / pre-workout supplements due to its tremendous stimulating and fat-burning properties.
Geranamine directly influences the nervous system and blocks the reuptake of noradrenaline. As a result, it increases the concentration of adrenaline in the blood and induces a tremendous stimulation of the mind and body.
