NUTRACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING CITRUS ALKALOIDS AND METHOD

摘要

Compositions and methods that both increase metabolic rate, and directly increase endogenous availability of metabolizable substrates are described herein. The instant compositions comprise naturally occurring alkaloids which demonstrate indirect-acting sympathicomimetic activity and directly stimulate beta-3 adrenergic receptors on adipocytes. The instant compositions are derived from Citrus plants and can be administered orally to humans for the purpose of producing or maintaining weight loss as well as for enhancing physical performance and increasing muscle mass.
