Hey Everyone,

First a link to an article I recently read from Muscle & Fitness.

11 Ephedra-free Fat-burners

Then a quote regarding the supplement that sounded most interesting to me:

Quote:
Evodiamine

What It Is: Extract from Evodia rutaecarpa, a fruit used in traditional Chinese medicine.
How It Works: Stimulates tiny receptors called vanilloids located on different parts of the spinal column. Chinese herbalists use it for weight loss.
Research Report: Rats fed a high-fat diet and evodiamine shed significantly more weight than those not getting the supplement.
What You Should Know: No human studies exist to date.
Cost: Less than $0.25 daily.
Dosage: 30-50 mg 2-3 times per day.
What's Available: BSN Thermonex EF, VPX Sports Redline, VPX Sports Meltdown Z-14.


The 'no human studies' part does kinda stick out there. However, upon reading this brief description it sounds like there may be something here worth considering.

Anyone have any info on this, or any experience?

Thanks!
