Frequently Asked Questions

We understand you may have questions about using the herbal supplement Cytisine to quite smoking. Here are some of the most common inquiries we receive:

What is Cytisine, and how does it help with quitting smoking?

Cytisine is a naturally occurring plant-based alkaloid found in certain plants like “Laburnum” and “Thermopsis”. It works by interacting with nicotine receptors in the brain, reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms. It mimics the effects of nicotine, helping smokers gradually reduce their dependence on cigarettes without exposing them to harmful tobacco chemicals.

How is Cytisine different from nicotine replacement therapies (NRTs)?

While both Cytisine and NRTs aim to reduce nicotine cravings, Cytisine does not contain nicotine. Instead, it partially stimulates the same receptors nicotine would, reducing withdrawal symptoms but without perpetuating nicotine addiction. Cytisine is also plant-derived and has been used for many years in Eastern Europe as a smoking cessation aid.

How long do I need to take Cytisine to quit smoking?

Cytisine treatment typically lasts for about 25 days. The dosage is reduced over time, starting with more frequent doses in the first few days and gradually tapering off. This process helps the body adjust and reduces the need for nicotine while managing withdrawal symptoms.

Is Cytisine safe to use, and are there any side effects?

Cytisine is generally considered safe when used as directed. However, like any medication, it may have side effects. Common side effects include nausea, stomach upset, dry mouth, or changes in taste. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting Cytisine, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking other medications.

Can anyone take Cytisine, or are there restrictions?

Cytisine is intended for adult smokers who wish to quit. It is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals under 18, or people with certain medical conditions, such as kidney or liver problems. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you have health concerns or are on medications.
