What is Octodrine?

Some products claim that octodrine comes naturally from aconite plants, but there is no clear evidence that octodrine can be found in these plants. It is likely that octodrine found in dietary supplements is made in a laboratory rather than produced from natural sources.

Octodrine appears to be similar to another stimulant called dimethylamylamine (DMAA). DMAA has been removed from the market in certain countries due to safety concerns.

How does Octodrine work?

Octodrine is thought to have stimulant effects similar to decongestants such as pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, and others. Some promoters say that it is a safer alternative to ephedrine and dimethylamylamine. However, there is no scientific information to back up this claim.

Are there safety concerns?

Octodrine is POSSIBLY UNSAFE when taken by mouth. Octodrine might have effects similar to dimethylamylamine (DMAA) which is another stimulant that might cause serious side effects, including heart attack and death.

Special Precautions & Warnings:

Pregnancy and breast-feeding: There is not enough reliable information about the safety of taking octodrine if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
