Important notice: Centrophenoxine, via its DMAE subset, may also exert teratogenic (birth-defects) effects. Due to this Centrophenoxine should not be used by females of child-bearing age.

 

Centrophenoxine is synthesized from the naturally occurring DMAE chemical. DMAE has been shown to have a positive impact on mood and cognition, but there are some disputes about its method of action. Some people believe that it should be considered a precursor to Acetylcholine. However, others believe that this is not accurate due to the fact that the broken down choline molecules that result from DMAE have not been proven to efficiently cross the blood-brain barrier. Centrophenoxine is believed to be a more efficient and bioavailable form of DMAE with different and more advanced effects.

 

Mechanism of Action:

In order to understand Centrophenoxine’s mechanism of action, it is first necessary to have a clear understanding of the importance of Acetylcholine. Increasing the receptor uptake and overall level of this naturally occurring neurotransmitter has been strongly suggested to influence cognitive-functioning.

With this in mind, Centrophenoxine capsules may help to improve choline or Acetylcholine levels through direct or indirect means. However, not all choline may become converted into Acetylcholine, and the levels of this conversion may also vary. It is unclear exactly how Centrophenoxine interacts with Acetylcholine or other neurotransmitters.

​

It is unclear exactly what may cause Centrophenoxine to modulate Acetylcholine, however it is believed that this supplement is superior to DMAE in this area. It is believed that Centropheoxine capsules are much higher in bioavailability than DMAE. Overall, it is generally believed that Centrophenoxine enhances cognition, most likely through increasing the activity or availability of certain neurotransmitters within the brain.

There is some unsubstantiated speculation that Centrophenoxine is also able to improve mood by affecting the brain’s level or activity of Dopamine and Serotonin. It is possible that Centrophenoxine capsules can impact multiple neurotransmitter systems therefore leading to multiple mechanisms of action as a nootropic.

Centrophenoxine capsules are known to offer antioxidant benefits. This leads to a reduction of free radicals within the brain, and Centrphenoxine been believed to have higher antioxidant properties than DMAE. Due to this, it is marketed in some areas as an “anti-aging” supplement.
 

Potential Benefits:

​

• May Enhance Memory Retention

• Stacks Well with Racetams & Other Nootropics

• Potential Acetylcholine Enhancer

• Brain Antioxidant

​

Side effects:

In most cases, Centrophenoxine capsules seem to be well tolerated, however this nootropic does have some potential side effects. The most prevalent side effects occur when users take high dosages or combine Centrophenoxine with other substances. Therefore, it is recommended that you speak to your doctor before adding Centrophenoxine into your regimen.

​

The most commonly experienced side effects of Centrophenoxine capsules include: dizziness, headaches, irritability, gastrointestinal problems, nausea and jaw clenching. If you experience any of these issues, you may be able to correct the situation by reducing your dosage of Centrophenoxine. If you experience any of these or other side effects, consult a doctor immediately. Please be aware that it is possible to experience a rare serious allergic reaction to this supplement.
