Effects of Aminophylline on Fat Cells

It’s hard to believe that someone out there in the research world decided to see how the common asthma medication Aminophylline could effect fat cells in our body.

It was university level researchers that thought if the prescription asthma med could somehow be applied topically and absorbed by the skin it could have positive effects on fat cells.

The research was conducted quite a few years ago but today the positive findings of these studies are being used to market anti cellulite lotions which contain the key ingredient.

The most well known brand using Aminophylline as a key ingredient to get rid of cellulite is Cellulean.

Cellulean aggressively uses the research done on Aminophylline in their marketing campaigns citing it as proof that their anti cellulite solution works wonders for women.

Does it work?

Well truthfully it’s hard to know for sure but I believe it’s likely the best product to try if you’re going to spend money on a product to treat cellulite.

While most anti cellulite creams contain all natural or herbal ingredients, the fact that Aminophylline has some research behind it is a good thing.
