What Does 'Stimulant Free' Mean? Stimulation V/s Arousal

Stimulant free is a term used to describe products and supplements that do not contain any ingredients that act as stimulants. 

Stimulants (thermogenesis boosters) are substances that increase alertness, elevate mood and improve focus and concentration.

Commonly used stimulants include caffeine, guarana, ephedrine, taurine, and ginseng. Stimulants are often found in energy drinks, weight loss supplements, and some pre-workout supplements.

Stimulant-free products and supplements are becoming increasingly popular because of the potential risks associated with consuming stimulants.

Stimulants can increase heart rate, blood pressure, and may even cause anxiety, insomnia, and headaches depending on the individual. 

Stimulant free fat burners like Amly Guard, Alive, Metabofix etc are becoming popular due to relatively low side effects.

Some stimulants also have a diuretic effect, which can lead to dehydration. Stimulant-free products are typically marketed as natural alternatives to traditional energy drinks and supplements. Instead of containing stimulants, they contain ingredients such as green tea, taurine, grain of paradise etc.

Is stimulation & Sexual Arousal same?

No, stimulation and arousal are not the same. Stimulation is the process of providing sensory input to the body, while arousal is the process of becoming mentally or physically aroused.

Stimulation can refer to anything that excites or activates a person’s senses, such as sound, sight, smell, touch, taste, temperature, and pressure. It is the process of providing a stimulus that causes a reaction in the body. For example, a person might experience stimulation through massage, music, or other forms of art.

Stimulation v/s arousal

 

Arousal, on the other hand, is a more advanced psychological process that involves increased alertness, increased heart rate, and increased body temperature. It is the result of a person becoming excited, energized, and focused on a particular activity or situation. 

Arousal does not mean sexual stimulation always!

Arousal can be experienced in response to physical or psychological stimulation, such as sexual activity, fear, and excitement. Which means arousal can be a good feeling or bad feeling.
