N-Methyltyramine

Why You Need It

• Natural Energy Boost: Increases the release of norepinephrine, providing a clean, stimulating energy surge.
• Fat Mobilization: Helps break down stored fat cells (lipolysis) so they can be used as energy.
• Appetite Suppression: Can act as an anorectic agent, helping to curb cravings naturally.
• Performance Enhancer: Improves physical output and focus during workouts.

Deep Dive

N-Methyltyramine works by acting as a sympathomimetic agent, meaning it mimics the activity of your sympathetic nervous system (the 'fight or flight' response). Specifically, it stimulates the release of norepinephrine and dopamine. This chemical cascade triggers the breakdown of triglycerides in your fat cells into free fatty acids, which your body then burns for fuel. Unlike harsh stimulants, it has a relatively short half-life, making it useful for targeted energy bursts, particularly pre-workout. It is naturally found in plants like Citrus aurantium (bitter orange) and Opuntia ficus-indica (prickly pear).

Natural Food Sources

Unlike vitamins found in almost every vegetable, N-Methyltyramine is concentrated in specific bitter fruits and cacti. It is rarely consumed in isolation; rather, it is eaten as part of the whole fruit's complex chemical profile.

Supplementation

Because N-Methyltyramine is found in trace amounts in food, it is almost always taken as a supplement, usually as part of a 'fat burner' or pre-workout blend.

Typical Dosage:

• Standard Range: 25mg to 75mg per day.
• Timing: Take 30–60 minutes before exercise or a meal to maximize fat burning and energy.

Who should take it?

• Individuals looking for a natural metabolic boost.
• Athletes seeking pre-workout energy without heavy caffeine reliance.
• Note: It is rarely sold as a standalone ingredient but is a key active in many proprietary blends.
