Evodiamine

Introduction
Evodiamine is a bioactive alkaloid extract from a plant called Evodia Rutaecarpa (Juss.)Benth. this is a Chinese herb named Wu-Chu-Yu that Chinese herbalists have used for centuries as a weight loss supplement. 

Indications and Uses
Evodiamine is not a weight loss product but it is an ingredient that can be found in some weight loss supplements due to its reported thermogencic properties. According to some clinical studies, evodiamine was shown to increase body temperature, which can assist in the calorie burning process. 
 
It apparently works as a powerful stimulant that raises body temperature and increases metabolism while providing energy to the user. however, without proper clinical evidence to prove if this substance is effective for weight loss in humans.
 
It may be premature to consider evodiamine an effective weight loss ingredient.
 
It is suspected that its mechanism of action is similar to that of capsaicin. as such, it has been included in some dietary supplements.
 
Evodiamine acts primarily as a thermogenic and stimulant.Evodiamine may also act in a manner comparable to tianeptine by increasing the number of serotonin transporters available in the brain,enhacing the reuptake of serotonin.
