Garcinia Cambogia is a small fruit that looks just like a small size pumpkin. An extract from its fruit and rind has been used to prepare various products mainly for weight loss. This herb, which is mainly found in India and some parts of Asia, is believed to suppress appetite and enhance fat-burning due to the presence of hydroxycitric acid (HCA) in the extract. This is how it works - HCA inhibits an enzyme called citrate lyase that plays an important part in converting excess carbohydrates into fat, but when it is inhibited, the body burns the extra carbs. While animal studies have suggested reduced food intake and decrease in body fat, human trials have not been so conclusive.
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
Green Tea Extract- Camellia sinensis, or more commonly the tea plant is a genus of flowering plants which is generally being used to produce tea, including green tea, oolong, black tea, white tea and pu-erh tea, also called Bolay tea. The different oxidation process makes the final difference. Tea plants can grow out into a tree, but are generally pruned to allow for easy hand picking. While camellia sinensis is being cultivated all around the globe in tropical and subtropical regions, this South and Southeast Asian native is most popular when imported from India and China. Medical uses of tea stem from the traditional Chinese medicine, where it was used as a bronchodilator and to treat angina pectoris, coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular diseases. Green tea extract is used as appetite suppressant and thermogenesis increasing agent.

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.
Pantothenic Acid, commonly called vitamin B5, is water soluble and is needed by every cell in the body to maintain good health. It helps in breaking down carbohydrates, fats and proteins to provide the body with energy. It assists in the production of red blood cells and hormones and ensures a healthy pregnancy. It is also known to lower triglyceride and cholesterol levels in the body. It helps in reducing stress and treating people with rheumatoid arthritis.
Pantothenic acid is found in small quantities in almost all foods but abundantly in meats, fish, poultry, avocados, peas, broccoli and whole grains. A deficiency which is rare, leads to leg cramps, gastrointestinal problems, anemia, insomnia, depression, a burning sensation in the limbs and a weakened immune system.
Potassium, a mineral that is quite common in our food. Potassium is needed for proper muscle growth, nervous system and brain function and to help balance the PH of our bodies.
Theobroma Cacao is grown in Costa Rica, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, Guatemala, Venezuela, and many other islands such as Ceylon, Africa, Samoa and other regions having identical climates. Theobroma Cacao extract is found to be diuretic, antiseptic, parasiticide and is as well a folk remedy for coughs, burns, eyes, listlessness, fever, dry lips, pregnancy, malaria, rheumatism, wounds, snakebites and parturition. Theobroma Cacao is a forest species and is nurtured for being an oil rich seed that produces cocoa butter and cocoa. The seeds are cash crops and the prices of these seeds keep fluctuating.
Theobroma Cacao identifies and commercializes with the seed crop. The byproducts are good for chocolate processing industry in making cocoa cake and cocoa shell. This also facilitates the cocoa growers as they can earn additional income. They are also used as binders for emulsifiers, fixatives and for pet food. The gum and pulp extraction is done in a single process.
Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, which is naturally found in foods such as fish, milk and milk products, eggs, meat and poultry. Vitamin B12 is important for good health, necessary for the proper digestion and absorption of foods and for normal metabolism of carbohydrates, and fat. It helps maintain healthy nerve cells and red blood cells and is needed to make DNA. Vitamin B12 is bound to the protein in food. Hydrochloric acid in the stomach releases B12 from protein during digestion.
Unlike other water-soluble nutrients, vitamin B12 is stored in the liver, kidney, and other body tissues. It can take several years before signs of the deficiency appear due to poor dietary intake.
Vitamin B12 functions as a "methyl donor." A methyl donor is a compound that carries and donates methyl groups to other molecules, including cell membrane components and neurotransmitters. As a methyl donor vitamin B12 is involved in homocysteine metabolism and plays a critical role in proper energy metabolism, immune function, and nerve function. Therefore, vitamin B12 is clearly an added benefit for anyone wanting to lose weight, as without it, metabolism is not at its peak potential.
Vitamin B6contains pyridoxal phosphate, or PLP for short, as the active ingredient and is a vitamin belonging to the B complex grouping. It is functioning mainly as a co-enzyme with others in the human body, aiding in the proper function of several metabolic processes. Neurotransmitter synthesis, as well as hemoglobin and histamine synthesis are just some of the functions of PLP, hemoglobin function, gene expression and aiding in the facilitation of decarboxylation, elimination and other reactions, mainly taking place in the liver. Vitamin B6 was found to diminish by 50% the risk of Parkinson’s disease. Alternative medicine suggests the use of Vitamin B6 to combat autism, in combination with magnesium. This combination has shown effects with children suffering from attention deficit disorders. PLP also seems to show therapeutic effects for diabetic nephropathy.
Vitis Vinifera Extract, while it sounds like something exotic is actually grape juice. Vitis Vinifera is actually a species of Vitis, the common grape vine, which is native to Europe, the Mediterranean region, southwestern Asia, generally from Spain and Morocco all the way north to Germany and then east to north of Iran. The interesting ingredient in such a Vitis Vinifera Extract is resveratrol, a phytoalexin which is produced by the Vitis Vinifera and some other plants when they are attacked by bacteria and fungi. Some of the resveratrol is being produced out of the Japanese knotweed, but European sources are mostly out of red wine and red grape skins. Interestingly enough, just recently all the good qualities of resveratrol have been discovered, including weight loss properties and increases in lifespan.
Wasabia Japonica Powder, also known as the Japanese horseradish, is in the Brassicaceae family, the same where mustard, horseradish and cabbages belong. The root of the Wasabia Japonica is used as a spice. The effect of wasabi is similar to the horseradish or hot mustard, where not the tongue is affected, but the nasal passages. It is native to Japan, China, Taiwan and New Zealand, but is known to be produced in Canada and North Carolina of the United States. Wasabi derives the distinctive flavor from isothiocyanates, a chemical group which has been found to inhibit carcinogenesis and tumorigenesis. These isothiocyanates work on many levels, mainly in connection with prevention and treatment of cancers. In body building circles, Wasabia Japonica Powder is a common ingredient in many nutritional supplement powder products.
White Willow Bark, which is often used as a natural alternative to aspirin, and is best not to be used by individuals allergic to aspirin.
