Product Information

• Name: Ibogaine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Ibogaine is a psychoactive substance, which is an indole alkaloid derived from the root bark of the Tabernanthe iboga plant. This plant is native to Central Africa and has been traditionally used in spiritual and healing ceremonies by indigenous communities. Ibogaine acts primarily as a serotonergic and dopaminergic system modulator, exhibiting complex interactions at several neurotransmitter systems, including NMDA receptors and sigma-2 receptors, and functioning as an antagonist at the α3β4 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.Current research focuses on its potential applications in interrupting substance addiction cycles, particularly for opioids and stimulants, by reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Its ability to induce an altered state of consciousness is also being studied in the context of psychotherapy. However, the administration of Ibogaine requires careful clinical oversight due to its potent psychoactive effects and potential cardiac risks. Preclinical and clinical studies continue to investigate its efficacy and safety profile, with a focus on understanding the neurobiological mechanisms underlying its therapeutic benefits.
