All these properties of geranium extract are due to the fact that it stimulates the production of norepinephrine in the body. It is one of the adrenal hormones. It also leads to the rapid release of dopamine. Both of these hormones are powerful stimulators of the central nervous system.
Initially, DMAA is absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, after which it enters the bloodstream and begins to act.
Geranium extract acts as a reuptake inhibitor for these hormones. The human body, if some hormones have developed too much, quickly destroys the excess or splits them into useful elements. DMAA does not allow the body to break down excess norepinephrine.
As a result, the heart rate and pressure increase rapidly, and the effect of lung hyperventilation also occurs. Hemoglobin-bound oxygen becomes too much.
With an overdose, paradoxical oxygen starvation occurs first.. That is, there is an excess of oxygen in the body, but it cannot enter the cells in sufficient quantities. This may come a state similar to euphoria. It appears after a couple of hours and can last 5-7 hours. At the same time, instead of a surge of strength against the background of euphoria, a strong drowsiness is felt. After the termination of the geranium extract, a feeling like a hangover appears.
