Hordenine Overview
Hordenine is a naturally occurring alkaloid found in various plants, including barley and cacti. It is structurally related to epinephrine and ephedrine and gets its name from the Hordeum genus of barley, from which it was first isolated. Hordenine has been marketed as a dietary supplement with claims of boosting energy and athletic performance, but there is limited scientific evidence to support these claims. Some studies suggest that it may have properties as a stimulant, but further research is needed to confirm its effects and safety.
