Tesofensine

THE APPETITE CRUSHER

TE-1; NS2330

Tesofensine is a triple monoamine reuptake inhibitor that was originally developed for Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. It blocks reuptake of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, powerfully reducing appetite and increasing energy expenditure. In trials it produced greater weight loss than any other single agent, making it one of the most effective compounds for obesity.

Market evidence

Tesofensine product testing and COAs

We found certificates from some of the Tesofensine vendors we track. Based on the certificates our crawler found; vendors may publish more than we index. Research on this page describes the molecule. Vendor certificates concern particular market samples or batches; they do not change the research evidence or establish clinical safety, sterility, or suitability for use.

Each result belongs to the named vendor’s certificate. Grades assess the document and its reported tests, not the vendor’s whole catalog or the safety of a product.

Automated checks can make mistakes. Open “Why this result?” for the reason and any review notice, and check the linked COA’s lot against your product. How grading works

1 evaluated record

Document grade

Why this result?

C10: No endotoxin (bacterial toxin) test is reported, and an injectable needs one, so the grade stops at D.

Document check: flag.

Lab record: matched.
