Dandelion is a group of flowering plants which are found in Europe, Asia and North America. Two of the dandelion variants are worldwide spread weeds and can be seen flowering almost throughout the year. Seeds of the dandelion plant are produced without pollination, creating offspring with identical genetic material. Luteolin, a flavonoid, is a powerful antioxidant, is a secondary metabolite of dandelion and is believed to possess strong properties as an anti-inflammation agent, modulator of the immune system and promoter of the carbohydrate related metabolism. Furthermore it is thought to have significant anti-carcinogenic properties. Dandelion has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for liver detox, but in recent times there is evidence that dandelion may also be able to normalize sugar levels in blood.

Diiodothyroacetic Acid is a direct naturally occurring metabolite of Triac. It is an active component of many dietary supplements for weight loss. Research shows that Diiodothyroacetic acid and its isomers can retain the calorigenic and antilipidemic effects of thyroid analogues. Diiodothyroacetic acid has been found to have very strong effects in lowering "bad" LDL cholesterol and reducing blood lipid peroxidation. it has been identified that Diiodothyroacetic acid suppresses TSH levels, leading to hypothyreodism. It is also claimed to increase body’s Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR, the rate at which your body burns calories at rest).

DL-Phenylalanine works with body’s natural ability to ease pain. It assists in increasing the lifespan of brain chemicals that relieves pain. It is particularly effective in reducing pain caused by arthritis and aching muscles. DL-phenylalanine can treat persistent pain by stimulating nerve pathways in the brain responsible for controlling pain. Its effect increases if used with prescribed pain killers. DL-Phenylalanine, which is a combination of essential amino acid L-phenylalanine and D-phenylalanine, blocks an enzyme in the nervous system that enhances pain signals. This disturbance of pain signals causes the body’s healing mechanisms to start working faster. Use of DL-phenylalanine is also reported to have helped people in improving their mood and in treating depression. This is because a higher proportion of production of brain chemicals dopamine and norepinephrine, if went out of balance, cause depression, stress and frustration. Increasing the levels of these chemicals has an anti-depressant impact in the body.

DL-Phenylalanine, an amino acid that acts as a natural pain reliever, is a 50/50 combination of the D- and L- forms of phenylalanine. It relieves pain by blocking the enzymes that interrupt endorphins and enkephlins from naturally lessening pain in the body. Endorphins can be more powerful than the drug morphine and are released by small cells in the brain, nervous system, spine and nerve endings. DL-phenylalanine also weakens the appetite and is considered a stimulant of mild strength. The human body does not naturally produce phenylalanine so it has to be obtained from eating food. It is converted by the body into tyrosine, which is also an amino acid that makes proteins, and brain chemicals like dopamine, norepinephrine and thyroid hormones. Used in high quantities it can be toxic and should not be used at all by those who have schizophrenia as it can cause confusion, lethargy, depression, decreases in memory and alertness, anxiety and jitteriness. It is detrimental to children with hyperactivity and diagnosed ADHD. It is advised that they avoid such products as aspartame, which is made from phenylalanine.

Folate belongs to the B complex group, which is vital for metabolic processes in the body. It decreases levels of amino acid homocysteine in the body, ensuring protection against heart ailments. It also reduces the risk of neural tube and other birth defects like cleft lip and palate, and various congenital heart defects. It provides protection against different forms of cancer and heart disease. It is beneficial in treatment of megaloblastic anemia. It also works as a coenzyme in transfer of formyl and hydroxymethyl groups in various biological systems, and in carbon metabolism. It assists the body in getting rid of homocysteine, a blood toxin affecting heart muscle and making cholesterol deposit in heart muscle. It also prevents stroke and heart attack.

Hordenine HCL- Hordenine is a naturally available compound, found in grassy plants and many grains as well as some hallucinogenic cacti. As a natural compound, Hordenine is becoming increasingly popular as an effective weight loss supplement. Even though the research surrounding hordenine and weight loss is minimal, it has been hypothesised that hordenine functions in part by stimulating norepinephrine. Thus hordenine can be considered a central nervous system stimulant. While hordenine can be a part of weight loss supplements in its pure form, recently, the variation of hordenine HCL is being preferred by scientists and companies specialising in creating weight loss products. This is because while hordenine HCL doesn’t differ in application and stability from hordenine, it is more water soluble. This makes applicability easier. Also hordenine HCL is more easily absorbed by the body.

Juniper Berry is utilized to help treat bladder infections.

Methylxanthines (Caffeine) is a naturally occurring stimulant. Active ingredients of cocoa, coffee, cola and tea - caffeine, theobromine and theophylline fall under this group. It relaxes bronchial muscles, dilates the constricted airways, relieves congestion and stimulates diuresis. They get properly absorbed and evenly distributed in the body. Methylxanthine is mostly prescribed for people suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) having serious breathing problems persistently, despite of using inhaled anticholinergic and inhaled beta2-agonist. However it is not given top priority while treating COPD because it is known to cause side-effects. Headache, stomach upset, insomnia, heartburn, rapid breathing and rapid heart rate are some of the side effects experienced by people who have taken methylxanthine. Nevertheless, these side effects can be reduced by staying away from caffeine.

N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine-Ethyl-Ester Monohydrate

Naringin is the major flavonoid glycoside in grapefruit and gives grapefruit juice its bitter taste. It occurs naturally in all citrus fruits so it is also called citrus Naringin.

Vitamin B6, which active form pyridoxal phosphate or otherwise known as PLP and pyridoxal-5’-phosphate, is a prosthetic group of tightly bound cofactors responsible for many reactions within the amino acid metabolism and the manipulation of the enzymatic reaction behind the release of glucose from glycogen. Vitamin B6 generally comprises three organic compounds, pyridoxine, pyridoxal and pyridoxamine, all of them heterocyclic organic compounds that are converted in the human body to the active pyridoxal phosphate form. There are three reactions attributed to PLP, namely transamination, alpha elimination and beta elimination. Over one hundred and forty enzyme activities depend on pyridoxal phosphate, neurotransmitter and histamine synthesis, synthesis and function of hemoglobin, and gene expression. As a cofactor, PLP is active in amino acid metabolism, glucogenesis and lipid metabolism.
