How It Works

Cyproheptadine blocks histamine H1 receptors and serotonin 5-HT2 receptors, stimulating appetite; Tricholine Citrate provides choline for liver function and acts as a lipotropic agent.

Mechanism Steps

1Cyproheptadine competitively blocks histamine H1 receptors in the hypothalamus, reducing histamine-mediated appetite suppression.
2Cyproheptadine blocks serotonin 5-HT2 receptors, which are involved in satiety signaling, thereby increasing appetite.
3Tricholine Citrate dissociates into choline and citrate; choline is used for synthesis of acetylcholine and phospholipids, supporting liver function.
4Citrate enters the Krebs cycle, providing energy and promoting lipotropic activity, reducing fat accumulation in the liver.
