Mechanism: stimulation of 3-adrenergic receptors in adipose tissue, increased lipolysis and fatty acid oxidation without activation of the hGH receptor (no IGF-1 increase) Phase 2b clinical trial (2007, 300 patients): weight reduction ~2.8 kg vs placebo over 12 weeks FDA status: NDI rejection (2014) as a dietary supplement
