For this reason supplement manufacturers often call it geranium oil or geranium extract, but it is also known by a number of other names including methylhaxaneamine and geranamine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has a powerful stimulant effect that can make it particularly valuable to bodybuilders and its ability to function as a thermogenic fat burner makes it equally favoured by people who are searching for an effective weight loss supplement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although naturally-sourced DMAA is usually considered to be the preferable option, it is also possible to synthesize the ingredient under laboratory conditions. It has been speculated that synthetic DMAA is now more prevalent than the natural form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A couple of supplement companies (who now no longer operate) added synthetic DMAA to a product, claiming it was sourced naturally from geraniums. This has been studied by the scientific community and shown to be false. There is no way the levels of DMAA in the products could have come from natural sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>REF:&nbsp;Di Lorenzo C(1), Moro E, Dos Santos A, Uberti F, Restani P \u2013&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/22941904\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Could 1,3 dimethylamylamine (DMAA) in food supplements have a natural origin?<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Drug Test Anal. 2013 Feb;5(2):116-21. doi: 10.1002\/dta.1391.

In fact, the body can trigger it without the need for supplementation and does so any time a shortage of calories occurs. This is, of course, the reason why a calorie controlled diet is so important for dieting success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fat burning supplements provide a means of triggering fat burning sooner than normal or in situation where fat burning would not normally be initiated. In the case of DMAA, the effect is achieved by stimulating the central nervous system in a way that sets off an internal chain reaction that achieves the desired effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DMAA_and_Bodybuilding\"><\/span><strong>DMAA and Bodybuilding<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like any stimulant, DMAA can be useful when taken prior to a workout session because the extra energy it provides can enable the user to achieve a higher degree of training intensity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However it can also provide another benefit that may seem to be counterproductive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many bodybuilding formulations \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gghc.org\/no2-max-review\">NO (nitric oxide) boosters <\/a>in particular \u2013 are designed to provide vasodilation. This is a process that causes a slight increase in the diameter of the blood vessels that allows the muscles to receive extra oxygen and nutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DMAA is a vasoconstrictor, so it does just the opposite. Slightly narrower blood vessels may reduce the amount of nutrients available to the muscles, but it also encourages muscle hypertrophy with a lower intensity and some bodybuilders report favourable results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Possible_Side_Effects\"><\/span><strong>Possible Side Effects<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the ongoing controversy regarding its use, numerous scientific studies show DMAA can be used in a controlled and safe manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>REF1:<\/strong>&nbsp;Bloomer RJ1, Farney TM, Harvey IC, Alleman RJ \u2013&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/23424215\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Safety profile of caffeine and 1,3-dimethylamylamine supplementation in healthy men<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Hum Exp Toxicol. 2013 Nov;32(11):1126-36. doi: 10.1177\/0960327113475680.

DMAA is occasionally used as a party pill, for instance, and people who use it in this way have reported side effect such as nausea and headaches.
