Alpha Lipoic Acid, one of the most potent and active antioxidants since it is both a water soluble and fat soluble antioxidant. Alpha Lipoic Acid affects cellular metabolism and may speed up cellular energy production to help cells to heal faster.

Betaine HCL is a source of hydrochloric acid that occurs naturally and is as well a non-essential nutrient that assists in digesting food by breaking proteins and fats. Betaine HCL is essential for absorption of calcium, protein, iron and vitamin B12. This is a hydrochloric acid that destroys the microorganisms and ingested bacteria. Betaine HCL is taking by people having reduced stomach acid levels. There is no proper food source to enhance the levels. The acidity is strong and this is supplemented in the tablets or capsules form in grains or milligrams. There is no adverse effects detected, but further studies are being done. Betaine HCL is effective for Asthma, Thyroid, arthritis, diarrhea, gallstones and food allergies. Betaine HCL should be discontinued immediately if one experiences a burning sensation. Nursing or pregnant women and children or people with severe kidney or liver disease should shun away from taking this nutrient. Even people having a history of gastritis or ulcers should consult doctor.

Choline is an essential nutrient grouped with the Vitamin B complex and an organic compound. It is a natural amine can be found in the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and in the lipids which are in the cell membranes. Most well known supplement for choline is lecithin, but generally choline is found in egg yolks, soy, wheat germ and beef and poultry livers. Choline is commonly added to supplements which are deemed to reduce excess body fat, because of the claim that choline helps the body metabolize cholesterol and fat. In humans there is a choline transporter, which allows it to cross the blood-brain barrier, where it is believed to have nootropic effects, improving the cognitive abilities and memory.

Chromium Picolinate increases the optimum levels of insulin while aiding in weight loss.

Chromium Polynicotinate, which is a form of chromium, an essential trace mineral that is needed for the body's production of insulin. Insulin is a hormone that stabilizes the body's blood sugar level.

Citrilene (Hydroxycitric acid)- Hydroxycitric acid is a chemical found in several tropical plants including Garcinia cambogia and Hibiscus subdariffa. Itr is a derivative of citric acid and can be extracted from the dried rind of the Garcinia cambogia fruit. For centuries hydroxycitric acid has been used in Southeast Asia as a food condiment. However recently a lot of research and animal studies have been carried out using hydroxycitric acid. The studies suggest that hydroxycitric acid have a potential for modulating lipid metabolism by supporting healthy serotonin levels and is thus effective in promoting weight loss. Hydroxycitric acid also moves the body’s preference for energy source from carbohydrates to fat. Animal studies also reveal that hydroxycitric acid prevents ‘rebound’ weight gain. Due to these reasons, hydroxycitric acid is becoming a popular ingredient in commercially available weight-loss products.

Dandelion is a valuable herb possessing culinary as well as medicinal uses. Dandelion is a variable perennial growing to nearly 12 inches. They are spatula like leaves and are toothy, shiny and hairless. The stems of dandelion have bright yellow flowers. These flowers are light sensitive and opens only in the morning. Dandelion is opulent with vitamins A, B, C and D. it also has minerals like potassium, iron and zinc. The leaves of dandelion enhance the flavor to sandwiches, salads and teas. The flowers of dandelion are used in making wines and the roots are found as coffee substitutes. Dandelion leaves and roots as per traditional medicines were used in curing liver problems. The dandelion decoctions were used by the Native Americans to treat skin problems, kidney disease, heartburn, stomach upset and swelling. The Chinese practitioners used dandelion to cure appendicitis, digestive disorders and breast problems. Dandelion roots are used as digestive aid, appetite stimulant and for gallbladder and liver function.

Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) is among the major catechins found in green tea. It belongs to the class flavan 3 ol of flavonoids, and is polyphenolic matter. Black tea also contains EGCG but in lower quantities. Epigallocatechin gallate makes up about 30% of dry weight of the green tea leaves. EGCG is the most powerful antioxidant present in green tea. It helps to burn fat, increase metabolism, and lower the storage of fat. Researches show that EGCG can be beneficial in curing many types of cancers, like bladder, cervical, prostate, and brain cancer. It also builds up the immune system and protects the body from many diseases.

Ginger Root- Ginger is a spice which originated in Asia, where it is grown primarily in India and the Southeast of Asia. Currently it is used all over the world for culinary purposes. Several other uses, besides that of a spice, have been encountered, like in Ginger Ale, ginger tea, but also ginger beer. Gingerbread is perhaps the most popular example of ginger use, but historically it has been labeled as a stimulant and a carminative. Indonesia traditionally uses herbal preparations with ginger, which is supposed to reduce fatigue and help control all kind of digestive problems. Ginger is also known to help with morning sickness and is an ingredient in motion sickness remedies. Nausea in many forms, including chemotherapy, is treated with ginger as well.

Grapefruit Extract, also known as citrus seed extract is a liquid that is derived from the seeds, pulp as well as the white membranes of grapefruit. Some scientists claim that grapefruit extract possesses antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties while others recommend it for the treatment of earache, throat infections etc. There are two ways in which grapefruit extract is prepared. One is the natural, self-made grapefruit extract which is made by grinding the seed and pulp and then mixing them with glycerine. The second method is the commercial way in which the seed, pulp, glycerine and synthetic preservatives are all blended together. Grapefruit extract is believed to have a lot of scope in the health food industry. However one has to be careful as grapefruit can have several interactions with certain drugs like warfarin.

Guarana is a South American climbing plant belonging to the genus of trees and shrubs called Maple. This plant is common around the Amazon and very present in Brazil. The fruit of the guarana plant is being used in that country to produce a diversity of soft drinks and beverages, having the double caffeine content of the coffee bean. Other nutrients that are contained in the seed besides caffeine are protein, fat and starch, but also adenine, choline, guanine, resin, tannin and xanthine, just to name a few. The cognitive effects of guarana are well documented, but the appetite suppressant qualities of guarana are relatively new. A study has proven that a combination of yerba mate, guarana and damiana leads to a tenfold weight loss quantity when compared with a placebo.

Guggulsterone- Commiphora wightii, or the so called Guggul tree is a flowering shrub or rather a small tree which can grow up to a size of 4 meters. Once very common in India, it is now there listed as endangered, but not in northern Africa or elsewhere in central Asia. It was very popular in the Indian Ayurvedic medicine, but also currently in the western medicine for treating of heart problems. The hydrocarbon secretion of Guggul contains a plant sterol, guggulsterone, which in the human body seems to act as an antagonist to the farnesoid X receptor. Furthermore, guggulsterone is active in increasing the natural thyroid production. This in turn stimulates the metabolism and may raise the body temperature, burning stored excess fat.

Inositol Monophosphate is a carbocyclic polyol and secondary messenger in eukaryotic cells, where it is crucial for several of the cellular functions, including cell growth, migration, endocytosis and cell differentiation. Myo-inositol used to be classified as the Vitamin B8, belonging to the Vitamin B complex, but further scientific studies have found that it could be synthesized by the body, therewith disqualifying it as a vitamin. Of all the functions that inositol has been associated with, mostly biological processes, like nerve guidance, serotonin activity modulation, gene expression and intracellular calcium concentration control; for the body building and athletic community the breakdown of fats and reduction of blood cholesterol seem to be most significant, besides the cell membrane potential maintenance.

L-Carnitine is produced from amino acids present in the body. It burns fat for the release of energy for the body to function and is therefore, one of the more well known agents of weight loss. L-Carnitine is also believed to have an effect in the delay of Alzheimer’s disease. Conditions, such as angina, cause insufficient production of L-Carnitine. It is commonly found in breast milk, red meat and dairy products. Low levels of L Carnitine can cause cramps in the muscles, low blood sugar and tiredness. When using supplements of L-Carnitine, a person must use suitable amounts of Vitamins C and B, along with iron supplements. Proteins from animals and other foods, rich in nutrition will assist in meeting the required levels of nutrition.

L-Theanine is very commonly found in tea and is an amino acid, biochemically related to glutamine. The psychoactive properties of theanine are derived from the ability to cross the blood brain barrier. It has been proven that theanine can reduce stress, promote relaxation and improve alertness and mood when imbibed together with caffeine, a natural combination found in any tea, especially green tea. Gamma-aminobutyric acid levels are increased, when theanine is ingested or imbibed, as are serotonin and dopamine levels. It is believed that l-theanine is aiding the immune system by strengthening the capacity of delta T cells. Laboratory tests have proven that blood pressure reduction and lowering of 5-hydroxyindoles in the brain are promoted by theanine.

Niacin, also called Vitamin B3, exists in two main forms, niacin and niacinamide. The niacin form produces a flushing and itching of the skin when taken at higher dosages and this feeling is only temporary.

Octopamine is related to noradrenaline. Octopamine was discovered by Vittorio Erspamer, an Italian scientist in 1948. Octopamine has a significant role in mollusks and is the central nervous system in snail. Octopamine also has a vital role in memory and learning in the fruit fly and honey bee. Octopamine is also useful for the firefly in releasing the light production. Octopamine mobilizes releasing fat in mammals and this has developed into promotion as a slimming aid on the internet. However, there is no apparent evidence about Octopamine facilitating weight loss. Octopamine also significantly increases the blood pressure in combination with stimulants such as weight loss supplements. This is extensively used in energy demanding insects such as spiders, lobsters, crabs and crayfish as their behaviors also include egg-laying, jumping and flying. Among vertebrates, Octopamine substitutes norepinephrine and as well exhibits common side effects. Octopamine is sited in the locust jump such that it modulates the muscle activity allowing the leg muscles to contract effectively.

PEA (Phenylethylamine), which is also known as Beta-Phenylethylamine, is a supplement, which favors aggression and is supposed to raise mental alertness, focus, and ability to concentrate. It is believed to also promote energy. In clinical trials it has been observed that infusion of Beta-Phenylethylamine raises the extracellular dopamine count, furthermore inhibiting the dopamine transmitter DA neuron firings. An additional activity is seen through the Beta-Phenylethylamine modulation of noradrenergic transmissions. It is viewed as a stimulant, but the lack or disturbed amounts of PEA have been observed in people with attention deficit and the hyperactivity disorders, people suffering from depression, schizophrenia, migraine and phenylketonuria. The obvious antidepressant qualities are paired with the increased wakefulness, which may lead to difficulty falling asleep, but improve motivation when exercising or training.

Phenylalanine has also been used in the treatment of attention deficit disorder, fatigue and premenstrual syndrome. Phenylalanine also acts as an analgesic and appetite suppressant by releasing an intestinal hormone that signals the brain to feel full after eating.

Soy Isoflavones are antioxidants and organic compounds that are related to the flavonoids, which are secondary metabolites in plants. Derived from soybeans, isoflavones genistein and daidzein are won. These two isoflavones are able to interact with estrogen receptors, causing similar effects. Genistein, although an antioxidant, on the other hand stimulates oxidation in nitrate synthesis. This chemical substance, mainly found in plants, belongs to the group of polyphenols, together with gallic acid esters of glucose and other sugars, lignins and condensed tannins. For a short time they were classified as Vitamin P, where the health benefits are believed to be mainly with the reduction of risks of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Genistein is also believed to act inhibitory on certain substances that promote growth factors.
