N-Caffeoyldopamine & N-coumaroyldopamine: As Good As Research Says They Are?

Ok, so the “next big thing” I kept hearing about were two compounds that are found in the cocoa plant: n-caffeoyldopamine & n-coumaroyldopamine.

A researcher at the USDA discovered these compounds can have a dramatic anti-oxidant and protective effect, but more importantly they are extremely selective Beta-2 agonists.

What’s a Beta-2 agonist you ask?

Ever hear of Clenbuterol? If not, it’s legendary for its ability to “recomp” the body, i.e. add lean muscle & burn body fat at the same time.

Unfortunately, “Clen” also comes with some nasty sides because it also hits other receptors (such as Beta-1 receptors which are located on the heart), not to mention the fact it’s a drug and not found in nature so it can’t be sold as a supplement.

The research on the two compounds found in the cocoa plant demonstrates they are extremely selective to Beta-2 – meaning you get all of the lean muscle & strength gains, along with the fat burning, without the side effects!

Who knew all that chocolate we have been eating had these incredible compounds!

I had to try these out for myself so I was able to get my hands on N-caffeoyldopamine. Unfortunately, I was not able to locate N-coumaroyldopamine. It’s my understanding that n-coumaroyldopamine is much tougher to get and it’s also the more potent of the two, but I wanted to test out what I could.

I began by taking n-caffeoyldopamine in divided doses; with breakfast & mid-afternoon snack.

Remember, something like clen is very potent at 100-200 MICROGRAMS a day. Since these are natural compounds, I started off a bit higher at the milligram level and usually dosed around 20 mgs per day total.

Starting/End results after 6 weeks:

Bodyfat:

Start – 13.4%

End – 10.2%

Result: Lost 3.4% bodyfat

Weight:

Start - 230 lbs

End – 228 lbs

Result: lost 2 pounds

Lean Body Mass:

Start – 199.18 lbs

End – 204.75 lbs

Results: Gained 5.57 pounds of lean body mass

Fat Mass:

Start – 30.82 lbs

End – 23.25 lbs

Result: Lost 7.57 pounds of fat

Overall I trained normal and ate as I would for 6 weeks and simply added the n-caffeolydopamine. My training consists of 3-4 days per week in a traditional bodybuilding split along with a pretty clean nutritional plan. I must say I had a few more cheat meals than I usually do, but was still able to lose an appreciable amount of fat (7.57 pounds) while gaining lean body mass (5.57) and strength & recovery in the gym.

I did not notice any side effects while using this compound and my ability to handle nutrients seemed to be heightened so I made sure to load up on protein and BCAA’s.

I plan on running this again in 4 weeks and if I can get some n-coumaroyldopamine I will use that as well.

Overall, at least for me, this compound performed above expectations in the real world as it did in research. It was a very enjoyable experience for me, as you could imagine by the stats I listed above. After all, who doesn’t want to get bigger, stronger & leaner with no side effects?
