Advanta Z- Made from bitter orange or the extract of citrus aurantium, Advantra Z was used in China for treating chest and stomach ailments. After the FDA banned ephedra, research was being done to find a better replacement for an effective weight loss supplement, this is why it is used in ABB Speed Stack. The research gave birth to Advantra Z, which soon became one of the main ingredients in dietary supplements used for weight loss. As such, there is no evidence of side effects caused due to consumption of Advantra Z. Today, it has become extremely popular as a premier weight loss supplement due to its fat burning (thermogenesis) ability. Simply put, it alters the body's way of metabolizing fat leading to considerable weight loss. Despite its ability to induce weight loss, different people respond differently to this supplement. Every body being unique, what fits for one may not be suitable for someone else.

Caffeine is the most widely available legal psychoactive stimulant drug. Also known as theine, methyltheobromine and trimethylxanthine, this xanthine alkaloid is not only found in coffee beans, but also in guaranine that is derived from guarana, mateine derived from mate, theine which is found in various teas and the kola nut, which is the base flavor of various Cola soft drinks. It stimulates the central nervous system, where it restores alertness and wards off drowsiness. Caffeine is also know to display certain diuretic properties, is an ergogenic, an atagonist of the adenosine receptors, and a cAMP levels increasing factor. It seems that caffeine helps prevent the onset of Parkinson’s disease and in the long run lowers the possibility of developing a heart disease.

DMAE is an organic compound also known as dimethylaminoethanol, Deanol, beta – dimethylaminoethyl alcohol or N, N-dimethyl-2-aminoethanol; a biochemical precursor to the peripheral and central nervous systems’ neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is also one of the many neurotransmitters in the autonomic nervous system and furthermore the one and only active neurotransmitter in the somatic nervous system, as well as in all autonomic ganglia. DMAE is related to choline and is deemed to have nootropic properties. It seems that supplements containing DMAE, which have gained popularity in recent times, improve the energy levels, promote relaxation during sleep and improve memory and learning capabilities. In athletic and body building circles, athletes use DMAE to shorten the recovery time after demanding trainings and to improve the overall athletic performances.

Guarana Extract is the extract of the guarana plant. It contains a significant amount of guaranine, a substance that is similar to caffeine found in coffee beans. It helps stimulate the adrenal glands and increase the production and release of hormones such as epinephrine, norepinephrine (adrenaline), and dopamine. This helps the metabolism of the body that enhances fat loss, and increases energy and endurance. It helps the body burn the fats to be used for energy. It aids in fighting stress, weakness and fatigue. As a stimulant, it also improves mental alertness, clarity, focus, concentration, and memory retention. Guarana also also improves the libido or sex drive in both men and women. Guarana also contains tannins that help prevent diarrhea and soothes the digestive system.

Octopamine is a biogenic substance which is containing an amine group, apparently related to noradrenaline, which is a catecholamine functioning as both, neurotransmitter and a hormone. Similar to norepinephrine, which is another name for noradrenaline, octopamine may act as a stress hormone, triggering increased heart rate, energy consumption and blood flow, even the blood pressure. One side effect of octopamine is apparently the release of fat from the adipocytes, which are the fat cells where excess energy is being stored. This side effect prompted the use of octopamine as a dietary supplement aimed at weight loss, but used in combination with other stimulants. Octopamine has been discovered in the middle of the twentieth century, but the use as a fat removal agent is very recent.

Theobroma Cacao is used to reduce blood pressure and aid in blood circulation as well as fight off numerous illnesses and diseases.

Yerba Matte- The plant of the yerba maté, as yerba matte is actually called, is a small tree or a shrub which can grow up to a size of fifteen meters. The leaves and twigs have traditionally been used to brew a tea like concoction, which is still a very popular social beverage in South America. Yerba maté contains alcaloids that are very similar to caffeine, commonly referred to as xanthines, but also elements like manganese, magnesium and potassium. The main difference between yerba maté and coffee, for instance, is the effect it has on muscle tissue, where it appears to relax smooth muscle tissue, but stimulate heart tissue and that is why it is used in ABB Speed Stack. In other studies, yerba maté was found to work as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, thereby professing antidepressant qualities.
