Eria Jarensis Extract

Eria Jarensis extract

Eria Jarensis extract is a supplement that has recently received a lot of attention for its effects and use as a pre-workout ingredient. It has many similarities with popular stimulants such as DMAA. Given the ban on DMAA, this stimulant has recently become very popular. Eria Jarensis extract is not as strong as DMAA and DMHA, but is nevertheless seen as a good, but milder alternative.

Eria Jarensis extract is also known as:
N, N-Dimethylphenethylamine
N, N-DMPEA
N-Phenyldimethylamine

When talking about Eria Jarensis extract, people often actually mean N,N-Dimethylphenethylamine (N, N-DMPEA). N,N-DMPEA is the active substance in Eria Jarensis extract. However, it is often referred to as Eria Jarensis extract because N,N-DMPEA was first found in the Eria Jarensis plant, and because of its difficult to pronounce name. Due to this, it is recommended to check the percentage of N, N-DMPEA in products which contain Eria Jarensis extract. After all, a product with a very low percentage of N, N-DMPEA will require much higher doses to function properly.

Functions of Eria Jarensis extract (N,N-DMPEA)

Unfortunately, due to European legislation, we cannot describe all the effects and functions of this product. Not even if these have been confirmed by research. Nevertheless, we do our best to provide you with as much relevant information as possible.

Eria Jarensis has become known as a stimulant and pre-workout ingredient [1][2]. Due to its similarity to DMAA and DMHA, it is considered one of the better pre-workout ingredients. Due to the ban on DMAA, it has recently become very popular. However, it is important to realize that it is not perceived as strong as DMAA or DMHA. In addition to pre-workout, it is also often used as a fatburner. Furthermore, it may also have some other effects [2].

Who can use Eria Jarensis extract (N,N-DMPEA) ?

This stimulant is mainly used as a pre-workout. Eria Jarensis Extract is a strong supplement. However, the effect is not as strong as that of DMAA or DMHA. This makes this product also suitable for people who do not have much experience with pre-workout or nootropic products.

How should I use Eria Jarensis extract ? / Dosages

Based on current knowledge and user feedback, dosages of 150mg are recommended. Use this 1 to 2 times a day. When used as a pre-workout, it should be consumed 15-30 minutes before a workout.

Stacking / combining

Eria Jarensis extract can be perfectly combined with various other supplements. For example, it can be combined with creatine, BCAAs and other pre-workout products. Users often choose to combine it with another pre-workout product that does not contain Eria Jarensis (for example: N.O.Xplode or C4). This combination seems to work well as some strong pre-workout products already contain this stimulant. If you are using this combination, it is important to check that you are not consuming too many stimulating ingredients at the same time.

Where does Eria Jarensis extract come from ?

N,N-Dimethylphenethylamine / N,N-DMPEA is the active substance in Eria Jarensis Extract. N,N-DMPEA was first found in the Eria Jarensis plant [5]. That is why N,N-DMPEA is usually referred to as Eria Jarensis extract. However, it has been found that N,N-Dimethylphenethylamine is also found to some extent in shrimp [6]. In addition, N,N-Dimethylphenethylamine can be found to some extent in cheese, dairy products, fish, fruit and meat as an added flavor [7].

Other information (DMAA vs Eria Jarensis)

Eria jarensis is very similar to DMAA and DMHA. Despite this, users state that it is not as strong as DMAA or DMHA. Hence, it is usually considered a good, but milder alternative. However, there are also users who experience this as positive. Due to the shorter effect, this product may be more suitable if you train late in the evening and use pre-workout. After all, the long and strong effect of DMHA could affect sleep quality if consumed late in the evening.
