What is Senegalia Berlandieri?

[legendarytroy]

I saw this ingredient in a fat burner and was wondering what it was and what it's supposed to do to be helpful. Anyone know?

I think it's a stimulant or it contains stimulants or something. If I'm not mistaken, I don't think it's safe either. I think it's been linked to some pretty serous side effects, especially when it's combined with other stimulants like caffeine.

It?s a shrub that grows in North America and as a supplement it is a source of many different alkaloids, including those that effect energy and mood and can increase levels of dopamine, adrenaline and stimulates metabolism.

Although this sounds pretty good, I think its kinda like Synephrine in that it?s really not safe when it is combined with other stimulants like Caffeine. I think you?re generally supposed to avoid products that have it.

Yikes! That does actually sound pretty dangerous! Thanks for providing all this information Beth. I'll stay away from any products with this ingredient, too. Man! Why aren't these herbs illegal???

I think some of them are. That said, this doesn't stop nefarious companies from selling them. That's why you need to be really careful when it comes to selecting products. usually, if I see an ingredient that I don't recognize or one that's difficult to research, I just avoid it. It's not worth the risk, especially when there are so many other options available.
