🧪 Ingredient Spotlight: Rutaecarpine
Source: A bioactive alkaloid extracted from the Evodia rutaecarpa fruit, traditionally used in Eastern herbal medicine for energy, circulation, and metabolic support.
🔑 Key Benefits
Enhances caffeine metabolism
Supports CYP1A2 enzyme activity
Reduces caffeine related jitters
Promotes smoother, cleaner energy
Helps prevent late day caffeine disruption
Supports overall metabolic clearance
🧬 What Is Rutaecarpine?
Rutaecarpine is a naturally occurring alkaloid that has a unique effect on how the body processes stimulants. Its main action is increasing the activity of CYP1A2, the primary liver enzyme responsible for breaking down caffeine. This makes it one of the few ingredients that can actively accelerate caffeine clearance.
⚙️ How It Works
Rutaecarpine activates CYP1A2 through two key mechanisms:
1️⃣ Upregulation of CYP1A2 expression, increasing the amount of enzyme available.
2️⃣ Activation of existing CYP1A2 enzymes, making them work faster.
The result?
✔ Cleaner stimulant effects
✔ Reduced jitteriness
✔ Less caffeine hangover
✔ Faster return to baseline
✔ Improved sleep
Commonly used in sleep & relaxation formulas to speed up caffeine metabolism.
📏 Optimal Dosage
Effective dosing ranges from 50-100mg daily.
Best taken in the evening, or any time of the day to accelerate caffeine clearance.
