I was given some alphaburn from a genomyx promo and I'm almost done with the 10 days and ready to post a review. However, I have 3 more days which are stim-free since I'm cycling off stims.
I was wondering, does Alpha-Yohimbine act as a CNS stimulant, and should it be avoided when trying to go stim-free?
Repssssss

honestly, anything that stimulates CNS response over an extended period will prohibit full adrenal reset... the only way you'll achieve that is buy taking nothing. but the effects are mild enough that you can certainly take this while taking a stim-break and the impact (on CNS and aggravating adrenal fatigue) is extremely minimal.
to ensure full reset, you can continue using alphaburn alongside a gram or two of tyrosine... after 2 months of that a cup of decaf will send you ragin'.

yeah, mild and different receptors. I believe you'll still see some recovery from caffeine.
A-yohimbine is the only form I can take without having incredibly anxiety. It's also very, very hard to source find these days.Realize that anyone with an affiliation to a supplement company in their signature has ulterior motives when making recommendations. They're primarily concerned with pushing their products. Not your safety or what's best for you.

"Adrenal fatigue" is a nonsensical entity marketed by psuedoscientists and quacks. It has no basis in reality, and if such a disorder existed, would present much differently (i.e. Addison's disease) than is commonly characterized. Furthermore, it would be easily diagnosed with a simple electrolyte panel (i.e. hyperkalemia), among other tests (ACTH).

actually some top doctors in the country,who I happen to come in contact with on a weekly basis do believe there is validity to this.
when I say top,I mean very well known and respected.
I for one,am at least interested in the product.
I def respect others thoughts and opinions and love to debate and hear information.

If people had any basic medical knowledge at all would logically dismiss the word "fatigue". Insufficiency, tolerance, etc. are real terms but fatigue doesn't even make sense.

As luck would have it, I just stumbled upon a product called "Revamp" by some unknown company.
The ingredients are borderline comical: Pregnenolone (huh?), pantothenic acid (uhh), and licorice, among other things.
The adrenal gland it is an organ made up of 2 histological sections (medulla and cortex), and the cortex can be broken down further into 3 different divisions (zona glomerula, zona fasciculata, and zona reticularis). The cortex produces steroid hormones (glucocorticoids, mineralcorticoids, and sex hormones), whereas the medulla produces NE and EP. Three different signaling pathways are responsible for eliciting the production/release of the adrenal contents: ANG II for mineralcorticoids, ACTH for glucocortioids and sex hormones, and neuronal signaling for EP/NE.
First of all, to adequately address "adrenal fatigue," which location in this gland is responsible for the insufficiency? As I have pointed out previously, a deficiency in mineralcorticoids would cause hyperkalemia, which would manifest as weakness and parenthesias. A zona glomerula insufficiency (which produces mineralcorticoids) would cause salt wasting (hyponatremia), and an increase in plasma renin, ANG, and ANG II. The latter would result in systemic vasoconstriction, and the decrease in plasma volume would cause an increase in both ACTH and cortisol (cortisol has weak glucocorticoid activity). The resultant hyperkalemia could cause heart conduction problems and death.
...I started to go through the deficiencies of the zona fasciculata and zona reticularis, but became too lazy. If need be, I will, however. The point is that "adrenal fatigue" is nonsense, and the supplements oriented towards alleviating "adrenal fatigue" are as dubious as the syndrome itself.
I may write more about this later, and go in depth into the ingredients of these products.twitter: @bullexinferis
