Caffeine may be the most popular legal addictive stimulant that is available to mankind. Besides coffee, tea, guarana and kola nut have excess amount of this xanthine alkaloid, which is actually acting as a psychoactive drug. In several plants, caffeine is an effective insect repellant, but this trimethylxanthine is deemed by the Food and Drug Administration as generally safe food substance. It is an antagonist of adenosine receptors. The effect of caffeine is individual and may more or less increase the ability to perform physical and mental labor. It reduces the effects of fatigue and may in long term help predominantly men reduce the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. It has also been observed that caffeine has nootropic effects, furthermore, regular consumption of caffeine may significantly reduce the risk of heart diseases.

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.

Methylsynephrine is a variation of B – phenylehylamine which is found in the rare medicinal plant Acacia Rigidula and some other cacti which basically produces central nervous stimulation. Methylsynephrine is one of the newly identified key alkaloids in Acacia Rigidula. Methylsynephrine is an off the chain version of Synephrine. It is an adrenergic amine which accelerates fat metabolism as well as thermogenisis. These simultaneously speed up the fat burning process. Methylsynephrine, unlike ephedrine which is chemically similar, has mild stimulating properties on the central nervous system. This is a very desirable property in any weight loss compound as it allows for quick fat burning without the accompanying racing hear and anxiety. Methylsynephrine is also distinctive due to its role in the metabolization and the destruction of fat in the body by freeing up the stored fat for energy instead of using the ingested carbohydrates.

Phenylethlamine HCL is a salt of phenylethylamine. It is a crystalline solid and is formed by treating phenylethylamine with HCl. Its IUPAC name is 2 phenylethylamine HCl. The scientific name elucidates its chemical structure. It is an aromatic compound meaning that it has a basic benzene ring. It further has a two carbon chain attached at position 2 of the ring and the chain terminates in an amino group. It occurs naturally in some foods like chocolates but the food item might get metabolized too quickly sometimes for it to have a significant effect on the body. This substance has quite profound effects on the level of dopamine in the central nervous system, provided it passes the blood brain barrier. It increases dopamine level and at the same time inhibits dopamine transmitters resulting in a buildup of dopamine in the brain. While excessive levels of dopamine in the CNS are not healthy, the neurotransmitter does regulate cognition, mood, voluntary movement and other brain functions.

R-Beta-Methylphenylethylamine HCL is a relatively new compound which is the active isomer of Methylphenylethylamine similar to how 1R-25 Norephedrine was of PPA many years ago. What makes R-Beta-Methylphenylethylamine HCL very popular and an important component for many commercially produced weight loss products is to do with the effects it has on the human body. R-Beta-Methylphenylethylamine HCL is a compound which stimulates norepinephrine unlike any other compound in the body. By stimulating norepinehrine, R-Beta-Methylphenylethylamine HCL produces effects like appetite suppression, increase in energy and through the combination of these two effects, there is an overall result of weight loss.

Synephrine HCL- Synephrine Hydro Chloride is commonly believed to have properties that assist is increasing the metabolic rate of the body and boost energy. It is similar to ephedrine and caffeine and stimulates the metabolism of fat without cardiovascular side effects. The supplement is used by athletes for building muscular mass through an increased metabolism in the body. Other than the aforementioned uses, it is used as a laxative and an aromatic expectorant. Synephrine HCL does have its side effects and it is advised that the supplement not be used for more than three days at a stretch. Because of its potency, it can lead to an increase in the heart rate, anxiety, rise in blood pressure, nervousness and an inability to urinate, which are dangerous complications.

Theobromine- The bitter alkaloid found in chocolate is known as theobromine. It comes from the cacoa plant and is found in chocolate as well as chocolate free foods that are consist of theobromine. Theobromine belongs to the methylxanthine class of chemical compounds. It is found in the leaves of the tea plant, the kola or cola nut and acai berries. No bromine is present in theobromine, despite the name. The properties of theobromine are that it is souluble in water, is crystalline, is a bitter powder, is listed as white or colorless in color. It is considered a lesser homologue because it has a lesser effect to caffeine. Theobromine is the kind of isomer which belongs to paraxanthine and theophylline at the same time. It is basically a xanthine having two methyl groups.

Yohimbine HCL, also known as 17-hydroxy-yohimban. Yohimbine is an odorless; white crystalline powder; scarcely soluble in water; soluble in chloroform and alcohol. The chemical title is 17-hydroxy-yohimban-16- carboxylic acid, methyl ester. Yohimbine works as a weak blocker of alpha-adrenergic receptor. It is used in angina pectoris and arteriosclerosis, and has been used as a mydriatic and local anesthetic and for its supposed aphrodisiac properties. Yohimbine is a therapeutic derivative of the bark of a tree named Corynanthe yohimbine.
