Roll Call does not check drug interactions or assess personal safety.
A naturally occurring plant alkaloid found in small amounts in plants such as Nandina domestica and some Aconitum species, with stimulant-like properties similar to certain beta-agonist drugs.
Why it’s used
Included in some 'fat burner' and pre-workout products with the intent of increasing energy expenditure or exercise performance.
What the evidence says
Human evidence is very sparse; most available data come from animal or in vitro studies of its beta-agonist activity rather than controlled trials in people taking it as a supplement. It is also listed as a prohibited substance in sport by anti-doping authorities.
