Mechanism of Action
Since the amines in AdvantraZ® are not as lipophilic as those in ma huang/ephedra, they do not readily cross the blood/brain barrier. In fact, the unique amine composition in Advantra Z® prefers retention in the periphery rather than passage into the brain.
Additionally, research shows that Advantra Z® stimulates
beta-3 cell receptors with minimal impact on alpha 1,2 and beta 1,2
receptors, which means that Advantra Z® increases the
metabolic rate (Thermogenesis) without affecting heart rate or blood
pressure unlike ma
huang/ephedra.
