Acetyl L-Carnitine is also known as ALCAR, and has been widely popularized as the superior form to L-Carnitine pertaining to the bioavailability. Carnitine is the quaternary ammonium compound which is being used to move fatty acids out of the cytosol and into the mitochondria when the fats are being broken down, when these are needed to generate additional metabolic energy. The biologically active form of Carnitine is L-Carnitine; Acetyl L-Carnitine is the acetylated form of L-Carnitine and is also known as Acetylcarnitine. L-Carnitine is generally derived from lysine and methionine, which are both amino acids. While the neuro-protecting properties of Acetyl L-Carnitine have been tested on lab animals and some proof was obtained, the role of Acetyl L-Carnitine as a weight loss agent still needs some testing in studies on humans.

Acetyl- L-Tyrosine occurs naturally in the body. This amino acid plays a pivotal role in assisting the body in developing chemicals such as dopamine. Without this, the body can have adverse effects culminating in a sense of sadness, depression, anxiety and an inability to concentrate.

DMAE is an organic compound also known as dimethylaminoethanol, Deanol, beta – dimethylaminoethyl alcohol or N, N-dimethyl-2-aminoethanol; a biochemical precursor to the peripheral and central nervous systems’ neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is also one of the many neurotransmitters in the autonomic nervous system and furthermore the one and only active neurotransmitter in the somatic nervous system, as well as in all autonomic ganglia. DMAE is related to choline and is deemed to have nootropic properties. It seems that supplements containing DMAE, which have gained popularity in recent times, improve the energy levels, promote relaxation during sleep and improve memory and learning capabilities. In athletic and body building circles, athletes use DMAE to shorten the recovery time after demanding trainings and to improve the overall athletic performances.

It also contains Pheophytins, chlorophylls, caffeine, and carotenoids that have anti-genotoxic and antioxidant properties. It also helps in thermogenesis and in the metabolism of fat, promoting weight loss. The EGCG content protects the body from free radical damages. It also blocks the carcinogens that may cause cancer and protects the body from digestive and respiratory infections. It also has anti-bacterial properties.

Guarana 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.

Magnesium is the chemical element found in the periodic table with the atomic number 12. This alkaline earth metal is one of ten most common elements in the known universe and also very prominently present in the human body. It manipulates polyphosphate compounds, most prominently the DNA, RNA and the ATP. Numerous enzymes rely on magnesium ions to function properly. Most common application of magnesium in medicine may be the addition to antacids and laxatives. This metal is not found as a free element naturally on Earth, generally the metal is obtained through electrolysis of magnesium salts. The most common deficiency in the United States with staggering two thirds of the population is the magnesium deficiency. Magnesium can be obtained through vegetables, tea, cocoa, cereals, coffee, nuts and spices.

Pantothenic Acid also known as B5 is a natural, inexpensive and safe form of curing acne. It is free from all negative side effects.

As it is impossible for our body to become deficient in pantothenic acid, there is no recommended daily amount of it. Eggs, whole grains and milk contain panthothenic acid in large numbers.

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.

Salix alba, which is the Latin name for the white willow, contains an active alcoholic beta glycoside that contains D-glucose and is named salicin. Salicin is metabolized in human body to salicylic acid and is very closely related to aspirin. When ingested it has a quinine like bitter taste. Salicylic acid is anti inflammatory and keratolytic, and is commonly used as an additive in weight loss products.
