Are supplements that contain Geranium bad for your health?

the above question was supposed to mention geranium being bad for us.

Hi Quelly,

Geranium-containing products usually have as an active ingredient 1,3 dimethylamylamine (also known as 1,3 dimethylpentylamine, methylhexanamine). These are similar to amphetamines (although not as potent) and ephedrine.

So they are very strong stimulants, which probably decrease appetite and increase thermogenesis (burning more fuel/fat) and they make you feel energetic and focused.

However, they aren't for everyone. Most people can handle them if they stick carefully to the recommended dosage but some people get quite jittery, anxious and may even get heart palpitations in very rare instances.

Also, geranium oil extracts and chemicals cause vasoconstriction (narrowing of the blood vessels) and so won't be good for anyone with heart or blood pressure problems.

Many people love taking these products for energy, as a training stimulant or as a fat burner but try it at a minimum dosage to ensure you aren't one of the small percentage of users who gets unwanted side effects.

Thanks Mark great info again.
