THE APPETITE CRUSHER

Tesofensine

Grade C — Moderate

Powerful appetite control through brain chemistry

Also known as: TE-1; NS2330

Weight Management
Appetite & Metabolic Control
Cognitive Enhancement

Overview

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.

Key Benefits & Mechanisms

Triple Reuptake Inhibition

Blocks DAT, NET, and SERT transporters

Appetite Suppression

Increases monoamines in hypothalamic feeding centers

Thermogenesis

Enhances sympathetic activity and energy expenditure

Cognitive Enhancement

Improves dopamine-mediated focus and motivation
