Let's look at the research supporting the value of the synergistic ingredients in Hyperdrive 3.0+. Cocoamine™ is a trademarked and patent-pending proprietary unique cocoa extract that provides the health benefits of chocolate without any of the unhealthy ingredients (you know, like sugar and fat). Cocoamine contains several natural occurring substrates, including methylxanthines (theobromine, caffeine, and theophylline), biogenic-amines (phenylethylamine, tyramine, octopamine and synephrines), amino acids (phenylalanine, tryptophan, tyrosine, and others), minerals (with a high content of magnesium) and several beneficial antioxidants.

Phenylethylamine (PEA) is a naturally occurring endogenous neuroamine that increases attention and activity in animals as well as humans and has been studied for its ability to relieve depression in 60% of depressed patients. It has been proposed that PEA deficit may be the cause of a common form of depression. It is also your body's most powerful natural stimulant. PEA improves mood as rapidly as amphetamine but does not produce tolerance. Okay, natural PEA is good and amphetamine is bad. Though they share many common positive affects, the latter is not a good option due its own negative affects.

PEA can also stimulate striatal acetylcholine release. This neurotransmitter positively affects everything from libido to the sense of hunger with benefits to mood, focus and stress. Caffeine is a well known compound. But there is some valuable research that shows a lot of potential benefits in addition to increasing energy significantly. Caffeine has shown to have appetite suppressive value. Another study has shown caffeine to decrease fat redeposit and aid thermogenesis through fat oxidation. In part this appears to result in suppressed leptin (you know, the fat regulating hormone).

The need for extreme appetite suppression seems to be a large factor in the outcome of any diet intended to help lose body fat. So they added hoodia. One study appears to have explained why people report long-term hunger suppression with the use of hoodia. It seems likely that increased ATP content/production in the hypothalamus may be a signal for energy-sensing of satiety. Next they included 5-HTP, which acts as a precursor for serotonin (mood enhancement), R-alpha lipoic acid to aid in insulin mediation, guggul sterone extracts to support thyroid activity, Rhodiola to increase support for ATP and cAMP production, B vitamins to support energy pathways and capsiate for thermogenesis, lypolysis and antioxidant value.
