Thus though citrus alkaloids appear to be at least as thermogenic as the Ephedrine alkaloids, they are clearly gentler than the latter and do not cause the minor side effects associated with use of Ma huang (nervousness, agitation, palpitations, increases in blood pressure).
By contrast, research shows that the amines found in Citrus Aurantium extract make minimal contact with the α and ß-1 and ß-2 receptors, but exert their adrenergic effects by acting exclusively on ß-3 receptors to stimulate lipolysis and increase resting metabolic rate.

 Citrus Aurantium vs. Ephedra
These speculations, which seem to be based on the assumption that the alkaloids in Citrus aurantium extract behave identically to those found in Ephedra, are pertinently unfounded and untrue.
The alkaloids from Citrus species are biologically and physiologically distinct from those found in Ephedra, and possess properties that are not shared with the Ephedra alkaloids.
Consequently, the Citrus alkaloids have no effects on the central nervous system (CNS; in lay language, they do not give a "buzz") and since the CNS actions of the Ephedra alkaloids are responsible for at least some of the reported Ephedra side effects, the Citrus alkaloids are entirely incapable of causing similar side effects.

Citrus Aurantium, a fruit commonly known as bitter orange, has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat chest congestion and indigestion, stimulate gastrointestinal function and improve circulation and liver function.
Citrus Aurantium is widely used for stimulating the breakdown of fat, by causing the release of noradrenaline (a stress hormone) at beta-3 receptor sites creating chemical reactions that increase fat breakdown.
Beta-3 receptors in the body increase the rate at which fat is released from the body stores (lipolysis) and increase resting metabolic rate (thermogenesis) Physical activity will increase this thermogenic effect and further enhance the thermogenic effect of Citrus Aurantium towards healthyand permanent weight loss.

 Citrus Aurantium Synephrine Effects
The key to Citrus Aurantium's Synephrine effectiveness is its ability to stimulate Beta-3 receptors without negatively affecting Alpha-1, Alpha-2 and Beta-2 receptors.
The unique composition of adrenergic amines in Citrus Aurantium causes the release of adrenaline and nonadrenaline - most likely in the vicinity of Beta-3 receptors sites, which are found primarily in adipose tissue and the liver.

Zhi shi is the immature dried fruit of Citrus Aurantium, commonly referred to as bitter orange.
The citrus fruit extract contains a family of organic compounds that promotes the use of energy substrates, stimulates metabolic processes, increases the solubility of fats, and can act as a mild appetite suppressant.
It is believed that the absence of these side effects and the mild nature of Citrus Aurantium alkaloids result because they do not readily pass into the brain and because they may more specifically target fat cells.

People taking “ephedra-free” weight loss products that contain the herb Citrus aurantium, or Seville orange, may be doing more harm to their body than good, according to a new review published by Georgetown University Medical Center researchers.
“C. aurantium has many of the same potential deleterious cardiovascular effects as ephedra, and it also potentially affects the metabolism of other drugs,” said Adam Myers, PhD, professor of physiology and co-author of the review.
As part of the Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) Master’s Program they help guide at Georgetown, Myers, Fugh-Berman, and their colleagues are focused on training scientists to address the research gaps in CAM, educating health care practicioners on the benefits and risks of CAM, and promoting critical, interdisciplinary thinking.
