Chromium Polynicotinate is a more biologically active component than other forms of Chromium. CP helps to control blood sugar levels and can be dangerous to the blend of fats, cholesterol, and proteins. It is helpful in the metabolism of glucose and is important for getting energy. Chromium polynicotinate is a mineral that adds a hormone-like regulation to develop carbohydrate metabolism. As all carbohydrates finally are reduced to simple glucose in the body. Chromium polynicotinate provides the mediator action by plugging serum glucose through the bloodstream to the muscle cell directly. Chromium is essential for glucose regulation, carbohydrate metabolism, and energy production. It may also produce anabolic effects, but with no side effects.

L-Carnitine - Carnitine is a quat, quaternary ammonium cation, which is derived through biosynthesis of amino acids lysine and methionine. During the breakdown of stored fat in the lipids for purposes of generating additional metabolic energy, carnitine is needed to transport the fatty acids from the intracellular fluid to the mitochondria. The biologically active form of this stereoisomer is named l-carnitine. It is believed that l-carnitine has strong antioxidant effects and that it can strengthen the bone mass during the aging process. It is furthermore believed that l-carnitine promotes the glucose uptake and that it improves the male fertility in clinical trials. Concentrations of carnitine are found in highest levels in red meat and dairy products, but also in some seeds and pulses, as well as cereals and some fruits.

Licorice Root is widely used not only in syrups and lozenges to soothen sore throats but also to treat chronic fatigue syndrome, in preventing cavities and fibromyalgia.

Protease is an enzyme that reduces inflammation. Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury, but increased inflammation retards healing process. It cleanses the blood of organic debris. Protease helps dissolve fibrin in the blood, reducing the risk of clots. Different specialized proteases like nattokinase are good at bettering quality of blood cells, reducing risk of clots, and optimizing ability of blood to flow through circulatory system. This helps decrease risk of stroke. It strengthens the immune system and kills viruses, bacteria, fungi, and molds. Protease eliminates autoimmune diseases.

Sodium is the element that has the atomic number 11 in the periodic table and is commonly known as the main component in the table salt, together with chloride. Interestingly enough, it is probably the one dietary component which does require limitation rather than supplementation, since that average daily nutritional requirement is around half a gram per day. This most popular food seasoning, salt, is providing the most common source of sodium and chloride in human diets, but is generally overused and may cause health problems, such as high blood pressure, if consumed overly generously. The suggested dose of table salt, or rather the upper limit portion, would be somewhat less than 6 gram per day, according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, referenced by FDA. In the UK this limit is set at four grams per day.

Stearic Acid is a saturated fatty acid that occurs in many animal and vegetable fats and oils. Stearic acid is useful as an ingredient in making candles, soaps, plastics, oil pastels and cosmetics, and for softening rubber. Stearic acid is used to harden soaps, particularly those made with vegetable oil. Even though stearic acid is a saturated fat, studies have suggested that it has little effect on blood cholesterol levels, because such a high proportion is converted to oleic acid.

Vitamin B6, also known as Pyridoxine, Vitamin B6 is an essential vitamin to aid in the formation of healthy red blood cells and supports more vital bodily functions than any other vitamin. A water-soluble vitamin, Vitamin B6 is needed to release energy from the food we eat. Vitamin B6 cannot be stored in the body, so it must be obtained daily from either food or supplements. Vitamin B6’s role as a coenzyme involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins is what makes it important for dieters. Vitamin B6 is also responsible for the manufacture of hormones, red blood cells, neurotransmitters, enzymes, and prostaglandins. Vitamin B6 is required for the production of seratonin, a brain neurotransmitter that controls mood, appetite, sleep patterns, and sensitivity to pain. For weight loss, dieters should include vitamin B6 to increase their metabolism while rounding out a healthy diet.
