Analysis: Standard

Theobromine is a natural alkaloid of the methylxanthine family, mainly known for its mild stimulant, vasodilator and diuretic effects. It is naturally present in cocoa, tea and certain medicinal plants.

Theobromine is used medicinally for its bronchodilator, cardioprotective and diuretic properties, and is also found in dietary supplements and energy products.

Consuming dietary supplements ordered from dubious or illegal sites presents a health risk.

If you have any doubts about the product's origin, you should carry out an analysis to certify the presence of the active ingredient and check that its dosage complies with the stated content.
