Topical Chocamine? Join me...

[BigBlackGuy]

Ok, I grabbed this from Wikipedia real fast for the constituents of Chocamine:

• Methylxanthine alkaloids like theobromine, theophylline and caffeine (with a high concentration of theobromine in relationship to theophylline and caffeine).
• Others include biogenic amines like phenethylamine, tyramine, and according to one source, synephrine.
• Several forms of important amino acids like phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine
• Dietary minerals with a high content of magnesium

And I looked up the Molecular Weights of each:

Molecular Mass:

Theobromine: 180.164 g/mol
Theophylline: 180.164 g/mol
Caffeine: 194.19
Phenethylamine: 121.18 g/mol
Tyramine: 137.179 g/mol
Phenylalanine: 165.19
Tryptophan: 204.23
Tyrosine: 181.19
Magnesium: 24.3

Now what I need to know from you guys is... will there be a point in applying chocamine topically for fat loss/energy as compared to oral consumption? I have a bottle of Primordial's Topical Solution and I have a bunch of chocamine that I've been using.

I know Molecular Weight isn't beat-all, end-all of topical absorption, so if anyone can shed some light on if chocamine topicall applied will eve n absorb well... please let me know. Thanks!

Did you try this yet? How did it work for you??

What's the point of topical? I think all those things are generally absorbed pretty well in the digestive system with little to no liver involvement. Only reason I know of to go topical is to avoid digestive enzymes or bypass the liver.

So, why topical?

My pre workout is a Chocamine/caffeine tab...

Works great...

I couldn't picture myself rubbing the stuff on me...

Yeah, let us know how this works and if it does. Interesting idea, for sure!
