Suggest a correction or write a new one!
Vachellia rigidula, also known as blackbrush acacia or chaparro prieto, is a shrub or small tree found in Texas and central Mexico. It is not considered a threatened species and can reach heights of up to 15 feet. A study by Texas A & M University found over 40 alkaloids in this plant, including some that are not commonly found in nature. It is often used in weight loss supplements due to its claimed ability to stimulate metabolism and decrease appetite. However, there have been concerns about the safety of these supplements, as some have been found to be adulterated with synthetic amphetamines. The FDA has determined that these compounds are not naturally present in Vachellia rigidula leaves.
