MDVP, the active ingredient in bath salts, increases the number of adrenaline-like hormones in the body. These hormones prepare the heart, muscles and brain to "fight or flight."
MDVP does this by preventing the brain's neurons from reabsorbing dopamine and norepinephrine after they are secreted.
This leads to the high concentrations of neurochemicals which results in the "fight or flight" reaction."
