5-HTP is an amino acid that assists in controlling appetite, moods, insomnia, anxiety and reduces the symptoms of headaches, PMS, and fibromyalgia.
Betaine HCL, or HCL for short is a non-essential nutrient source of hydrochloric acid, a chemical found naturally in the stomach (stomach acid) that helps digest food by breaking up fats and proteins. Betaine Hcl is needed for adequate absorption of protein, calcium, vitamin B12 and iron.
Cayenne, which contains Capsaicin, a thermogenic substance. A thermogenic raises your core temperature, which allows you to burn more calories from food, particularly when eating a high fat meal.
Choline- Grouped with the Vitamin B complex, choline is deemed an essential nutrient. It is a natural amine and an organic compound, which serves several physiological purposes. Choline improves the structural integrity of cell membranes and provides signaling roles, assisting with the system of communication, which controls basic cellular activities and manages cell actions. Deemed a nootropic drug, choline as a dietary supplement is supposed to increase the cognitive behaviour and alertness. As a building block of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, choline certainly seems to be nootropic, but recently the application of choline as a nutritional supplement helping to reduce body fat because of the activity in the lipid metabolism was observed. Infant formulas that are not derived from cow’s milk are ordered by the FDA to supplement choline.
Chromium Picolinate increases the optimum levels of insulin while aiding in weight loss.
Citrus Aurantium, More commonly called "bitter orange", which is taken from unripe oranges. Research shows that citrus aurantium can increase the metabolic rate without affecting heart rate or blood pressure, breaks down fat, burns calories and may act as an appetite suppressant.
Garcinia Cambogia- Gambooge, a subtropical version of the Garcinia genus and native to Indonesia, is the local name for garcinia cambogia. It bears a pumpkin like yellow coloured fruit, which extract, together with the rind, is in India a curry condiment. Extracts are also being used in several herbal appetite suppressants, but also in some energy providing products and supplements. In the body building community, besides the weight loss properties of garcinia cambogia, the main component, hydroxycitric acid, or HCA, seems to increase the levels of lipolysis in athletes. HCA may even prove to be more effective in combined use with carnitine and pyruvate. In India, garcinia cambogia was traditionally used to treat edema, constipation, irregular menstruation and against intestinal parasites. Further uses include combating rheumatism and bowel related troubles.
Ginger Root- Although used in cooking ginger is also used as a medicine. Medically it is a carminative, i.e. something that prevents the formation of intestinal gas, and as a stimulant, and is widely used for both colic and dyspepsia. Pregnant women are often recommended to eat ginger in the mornings in order to avoid morning sickness. It is generally safe to take although it is contraindicated in those taking Warfarin and also in those with gall stones as it can stimulate the liver’s production of bile. There is some evidence that ginger can ease arthritic pain and it is possible that it has blood thinning properties and may lower cholesterol levels
Gota Kola, also known as hydrocotyle, centella asiatica or indian pennywort. Gota Kola is commonly used for wound healing, and improved mental function. The most active constituents are the triterpene saponins, which include asiaticoside, brahmoside, brahminoside, brahmaic acid and madecassoside.
Green Tea Extract- By increasing the body's metabolism, it is widely believed that green tea extract largely aids in weight loss.
Guarana, a stimulant derived from the seeds of the Brazilian Guarana plant. Guarana is used to increase alertness and help fight fatigue. It contains caffeine and is usually associated with an "energy crash" several hours after taking a large dose.
Inositol is a nutrient that occurs naturally in various forms. The most common form is myo-inositol. Inositol can be produced inside the human body from glucose and it is considered to be very effective. It is direct precursor of phospholipids, a major cellular membrane component. This nutrient helps in maintenance of electrical energy along with the transfer of nutrients across the cell membranes.
Inositol also acts as a lipotropic that helps in the changing of fat into useful products. Apart from establishing healthy membranes, Inositol also facilitates the nerve impulses. Experts recommend a low dosage of 500mg capsule of Inositol. You can take several grams at one time only if you have previously tried a lesser amount. Inositol supplements can be beneficial for people with a bipolar disorder, impotence, lung cancer, depression or a panic disorder.
L-Carnitine is yet another weight loss supplement that also is an antioxidant and has effects on male infertility, diabetes, and bone mass and fatty acid metabolism.
L-Tyrosine is an amino acid taken to enhance the functions of the thyroid gland. It provides essential supplements to the body for fighting serious ailments. L-Tyrosine is a natural cure mainly for hypothyroidism and many other illnesses including protection of skin from the UV rays and depression. People suffering from hypothyroidism lack tyrosine and therefore do not respond to iodine supplements. Iodine supplements are of no use without tyrosine. Using L-tyrosine replaces vital amino acids which people having hypothyroidism lack. It produces thyroid hormones namely, norepinephrine, dopamine and epinephrine. L-tyrosine must be used by those who have a family history of under active thyroids and by those who have not got benefits from dieting efforts. L-tyrosine is taken in doses of 500mg 2 to 3 times everyday. People having high blood pressure must be cautious while taking this supplement.
Niacin, also called Vitamin B3, is a water-soluble vitamin needed for the conversion of food into energy so that it may be used by the body. Niacin also helps metabolize protein, sugar and fat.
Pantothenic Acid, commonly called Vitamin B5, it is a water-soluble member of the vitamin B complex. Pantothenic acid is involved in adrenal gland function and is required to fight stress.
Riboflavin, also called Vitamin B2, is naturally manufactured by the body. Riboflavin is needed for the proper use of oxygen and amino acids, carbohydrates and fatty acids.
Riboflavin is also utilized by Vitamin B6 in the body and is used to manufacture niacin. Riboflavin is especially needed when eating large amounts of protein.
Selenium is considered good for health if taken in small amounts. It is a trace mineral which when incorporated into protein, makes selenoproteins that helps stop cellular damage due to free radicals. The major source of selenium is plant foods and its content in the food depends on the selenium content in the soil where it was grown. Also known as selenium acid, selenium sulfide and selenium yeast, this mineral is available in seafood and meat products. The main function of selenium is to work with vitamin E in order to maintain the elasticity and preservation of tissues. It not only helps in improving the supply of oxygen and blood to the muscles in the heart but also slows down the aging process by enhancing endurance.
Spirulina- The tiny blue-green aquatic plant Spirulina (Arthrospira Plantensis) is regarded as one of the most powerful and well-balanced source of nutrition worldwide. No wonder it is called as super food since it contains at least sixty percent of all-vegetable protein, phytonutrients like fatty acid GLA, vitamins, glycolipids, polysaccharides, and sulfolipids. Due to the absence of cellulose in its cell walls, the nutrients in Spirulina are very well assimilated. As such, Spirulina is a low fat, cholesterol free source of protein that is low in calories too. You can depend on this wonder herb to fight diabetes, anaemia, and effects of environmental pollution. In addition, Spirulina is also useful in combating "free radicals" that can cause a host of health ailments such as arthritis, cataracts, and cancer.
