Eria jarenis

What is Eria Jarensis?

Eria Jarensis and an Eria Jarensis extract is an interesting supplement ingredient that is seen by many in the supplement industry as the new replacement for DMAA and many of the other stronger stimulants that have fallen by the wayside in recent years. Eria Jarensis is still relatively new to the supplement industry, but is slowly finding its way into more and more pre-workout supplements and fat burners.

Where does Eria Jarensis come from?

Eria Jarensis extract is made from its orchid species, which bears the name Eria. There are over 500 different subspecies of Eria, which grow in China, Southeast Asia, the Himalayas, New Guinea, Polynesia and Micronesia.

Advantages of Eria Jarensis

Relatively few studies have been carried out on Eria Jarensis. There is only one article from an obscure journal called Acta Chemica Scandinavica that has anything to say about this ingredient. In this article it is described that 50 mg of N-methyl-phenethylamine and 5 mg of N,N-dimethyl-phenethylamine could be produced from 10 kilograms of fresh plant material. PEA or phenethylamine or simply phenethylamine is known for its stimulant and psychoactive effects, helping to modulate the release of noradrenaline and dopamine. These naturally occurring hormones support concentration, alertness and the reward system. For this reason, PEA is often used to support mood and focus.

Benefits of Eria Jarensis for bodybuilders

As a source of PEA and N-Phenethyl Dimethylamine, Eria Jarensis has a number of important functions that are crucial for bodybuilders and training with weights. Phenylethylamine and its derivatives can have a wide range of effects. Aside from supporting mood and the reward system, PEA can also help reduce appetite, act as a bronchodilator that dilates the airways and reduce anxiety, to name just a few of its functions. This, combined with its ability to act as a powerful stimulant, is perhaps one reason why Eria Jarensis is considered by many to be the new DMAA. However, Eria Jarensis has a variety of potential applications beyond its use in pre-workout supplements, fat burners and focus enhancement supplements.

Eria Jarensis safety & side effects

Due to the lack of human studies to date, it is difficult to say how safe Eria Jarensis actually is. Some supplements contain 250 mg of this extract per serving. Phenylethylamines tend to have a short half-life in the body (around 5 to 10 minutes). This means that they are excreted quite quickly. It is not yet clear whether the phenylethylamine contained in Eria Jarensis shares this fate, but initial reports regarding the duration of effect are quite positive. The lack of reliable human studies also makes it difficult to answer questions about safety and adverse side effects. Since certain phenylethylamine derivatives have a similar structure to amphetamines, supplements containing Eria Jarensis could lead to a false positive test for amphetamines, but no such cases are known to date. However, to stay on the safe side, it is recommended to avoid using Eria Jarensis supplements if you are regularly tested for drugs. Furthermore, it is best not to take Eria Jarensis in conjunction with prescription medications, as it may interact with certain medications such as MAO inhibitors.

Eria Jarensis recommended dosage & timing of intake

To date, there are no recommended therapeutic dosages of an Eria Jarensis extract. As mentioned earlier, some supplement companies use 250 mg per serving. The best thing to do is to follow the supplement's recommended dosage.

The combination of Eria Jarensis with other supplements

There are no proven ingredients that can be combined with Eria Jarensis yet, but you could combine Eria with a protein powder and virtually any other supplement. As Eria Jarensis is a powerful stimulant, it is advisable not to use too many other stimulants or stimulant-containing supplements when using a product containing Eria Jarensis.
