Evodiamine is a chemical extracted from the Tetradium family of plants which has been shown to reduce fat uptake in mouse studies. It is suspected that its mechanism of action is similar to that of capsaicin. As such it has been included in some dietary supplements. Neither its fat-burning effects in humans nor any potential side effects have been empirically established.
