🧠 Tesofensine — The Nuero Fat Burner + Appetite Suppressantā“
Daily Deep Dive: Tesofensine was originally developed for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, but it ended up showing powerful fat loss effects — around 10%+ body weight reduction in 6 months in clinical trials. Here’s what’s going on under the hood šŸ‘‡
āš™ļø Mechanisms of Action
Tesofensine is a triple monoamine reuptake inhibitor, meaning it blocks the reuptake (or recycling) of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin in the brain.
That does a few key things:
🧩 1. Increased Dopamine → Motivation & Drive
  • Dopamine elevation boosts energy, focus, and reward signaling.
  • This is one reason users report more motivation to train and a general ā€œfeel-goodā€ effect.
  • However, too much dopamine activity over time can lead to tolerance or burnout, so cycling or taking breaks helps.
šŸ”„ 2. Increased Norepinephrine → Fat Mobilization
  • Norepinephrine is your ā€œfight or flightā€ hormone — it raises metabolism, heart rate, and thermogenesis.
  • By keeping norepinephrine elevated longer, tesofensine promotes greater lipolysis (fat breakdown) and energy expenditure even at rest.
šŸ½ļø 3. Increased Serotonin → Appetite Suppression
  • Serotonin plays a major role in satiety and mood regulation.
  • Higher serotonin = stronger appetite control, fewer cravings, and greater satisfaction from smaller meals.
  • This is one of the primary reasons tesofensine works so well for weight loss — it directly reduces food intake at the brain level.
⚔ Net Effect
  • ↓ Appetite (stronger than phentermine)
  • ↑ Energy expenditure & fat oxidation
  • ↑ Mood, focus, and motivation
  • ↓ Cravings and emotional eating
🧬 Additional Notes
  • Tesofensine does not act like a stimulant (no direct amphetamine structure), but the neurochemical profile is similar to a mix of bupropion + phentermine + serotonin modulators.
  • Because it acts centrally, dosing too high can cause jitteriness, sleep disruption, or elevated blood pressure.
  • Common cycle length: 8–12 weeks, followed by a break to prevent receptor desensitization and dopamine depletion.
šŸ’” Takeaway
Tesofensine works through a multi-pathway approach — increasing catecholamine activity to burn fat while improving serotonin balance to crush hunger. It's one of the few compounds that simultaneously targets motivation, metabolism, and appetite — which is why it’s gaining so much attention in modern metabolic optimization.

  • 250mcg -1 mg per day via capsule
  • Low and Slow
  • The Research Doesn't Work Unless You Do
