Synephrine as found in CortiSlim and Cortisyn weight loss formulas
Synephrine, is the main "active" compound found in the fruit of a plant called Citrus aurantium. The fruit is also known as zhi shi (in traditional Chinese medicine), and bitter orange. Synephrine is chemically very similar to the ephedrine and pseudo-ephedrine found in many OTC cold/allergy medications and in a number of weight loss and energy supplements. But synephrine differs from ephedrine in that synephrine targets some tissues such as fat, more than it targets others such as the heart. A non-selective sympathomimetic (like ephedra which targets many tissues equally and thus often causes side effects).
Synephrine in CortiSlim and Cortisyn has no effect on heart rate and blood pressure
Unlike ephedra, research has shown that Citrus aurantium extract has no effect on heart rate and blood pressure. For example, although some high-dose ephedra-containing supplements have been associated with certain cardiovascular side effects as elevated blood pressure and heart palpitations, researchers at Mercer University in Atlanta have shown that Citrus aurantium extract (because it targets fat tissue rather than heart tissue) has no effect on hemodynamics such as heart rate and blood pressure.
