Spirodex
Brand: Gaspari Nutrition
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
Spirodex operates primarily through two active compounds: Caffeine and the proprietary Spiroblend. Caffeine acts as a central nervous system stimulant. At the cellular level, it functions as an adenosine receptor antagonist. By blocking adenosine, a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and sleepiness, it increases neuronal firing. This stimulates the release of adrenaline, leading to heightened alertness and energy expenditure. The proprietary Spiroblend is designed to synergize with this stimulant effect, potentially influencing metabolic pathways to support thermogenesis and fat oxidation, though the specific mechanisms of the blend are not fully detailed in public NIH databases.

Best taken in the morning or early afternoon to avoid sleep disruption. Do not use for more than 6 weeks continuously without a 4-week break. Consult a physician before use, especially if you have cardiac issues, high blood pressure, or are sensitive to stimulants. Avoid taking with other stimulants or prescription drugs.
