Product Information

• Name: Harmalidine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Harmalidine is an alkaloid compound, which is derived from the Peganum harmala plant, commonly known as Syrian rue. This compound is known for its psychoactive properties due to its ability to influence neurotransmitter activity within the brain. Harmalidine acts primarily as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), blocking the breakdown of monoamines such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. By inhibiting these enzymes, harmalidine increases the availability of these neurotransmitters, which are critical for mood regulation and cognitive function.
