Beta 2 Agonists

[Sprinterguy4]

Im confused as to how they work and enhance performance. Also i see Norcoclaurine/Higenamine is the "next hot thing" on the supplement market. Is there a test that could possibly identify the supplement via urine? I see that most governing bodies ban Beta 2 Agonists but the only specific ingredients they list are used mainly in inhalers. Maybe Coop can chime in on this one.

A clinical b-agonist like clenbuterol (a drug​ with a 36-48 hour halflife, selective and highly potent/possibly dangerous) is very different from something like higenamine.

So is the higenamine really a B2agonist? I've read that it hasnt been proven as a B2A and it is only named as one because of one study. I also see that the half-life is about 22 minutes, anything out there regarding detection and clearance? Ive been on google but the info and studies are pretty scarce.

Higenamine is indeed a b2-agonist. The halflife in humans is indeed correct, though anecdotally, I get bronchodilation for over an hour after using higenamine (I have bronchial asthma so it's fairly noticeable).

The half life can be increased with Chlorogenic Acids, no?
