7-Keto DHEA- When dehydroepiandrosterone, DHEA, has been introduced, it was lauded as the anti aging miracle drug, the fountain of youth. Once the concern grew that DHEA may promote the growth of not detected tumors, the interest fizzled. The scientists would not give up on the DHEA and have isolated the 7-Keto DHEA component, which is supposed to give all the positive effects, without the negative aspects. 7-Keto DHEA has shown in studies conducted with lab animals that it promotes the immune system, is anti catabolic, improves memory, raises indirectly the metabolism rate, which then burns more calories. In a human safety study no adverse effects were noted. 7-Keto DHEA is a very popular nutritional supplement ingredient with the body building community and is used for weight loss and muscle building.

Bioperine- Basically a pure and safe nutritional supplement of piperine, Bioperine can have several positive effects on our body. It contains about ninety five percent of piperine that is known to enhance the bioavailability of nutrients. As a result, bioperine intake helps in rapid absorption of nutrients from the gastrointestinal tract. Owing to its affinity for the fatty tissue, it even interacts with the lipid component of the intestinal cell membrane thereby allowing further nutrient permeability. It is quite popular due to its ability to enhance thermogenesis. This is how it works - the piperine present in bioperine stimulates the release of catecbolamines that trigger thermogenesis in the GI tract thus, making more energy available for digestion. It can be combined with other nutrients too to improve the health of human beings as well as animals.

Coleus Forskohlii or otherwise known as Plectranthus barbatus and Indian Coleus is a perennial plant native to tropical regions of Asia and Africa. In Kenya the leaves of the plant have been traditionally used as toilet paper. Ayurvedic medicine lists the coleus species as treatment for various ailments of the urinary tract, spasmodic pain and even heart disease. In the extract of the C. forskohlii is the compound forskolin, which has found wide usage in body building and weight loss circles. It is supposed to increase thyroid hormone production, increasing the metabolic rate. Further data suggests that forskolin may also be responsible in increasing cAMP levels and associated metabolic activities, such as stabilization of insulin levels, relaxation of smooth muscles and promotion of thyroid functions.

Gelatin constitutes the shells of pharmaceutical capsules in order to make them easier to swallow. Gelatin is a translucent, colourless, brittle, nearly tasteless solid substance, extracted from the collagen inside animals' connective tissue. It has been commonly used as a gelling agent in food, pharmaceutical, photography, and cosmetic manufacturing.

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.

Guggul Extract- Guggul is a flowering plant in the genus Commiphora and family Burseraceae. It is also scientifically known as Commiphora wightii or Mukul myrrh tree. It is most commonly cultivated in Pakistan and India. Guggul extracts are used commonly in incense and perfumes because its fragrance is similar to that of myrrh. It is also used in ancient system of Indian medicine for treatment of heart ailments. Modern research has also confirmed its beneficial effects on heart, so it is now also being used in modern medicine and some nutritional supplements. Due to overuse, however, the Guggul is becoming scarce and the World Conservation Union (IUCN) has enlisted it as endangered species in its Red Data List.

L-Tyrosine is a proteinogenic polar amino acid, deemed not essential because it can be synthesized by the human body. As a member of the amino acid group that is being used by cells to build proteins, this building block derived its name from the Greek word tyros, which means cheese, because it was discovered in the cheese protein casein. L-Tyrosine can be synthesized from phenylalanine and can be found in foods high on protein, like soy products, poultry, cheese, bananas, dairy products and several seeds, including the sesame seeds. The unique phenol functionality and the occurrence in proteins that belong to the signal transduction process, make this amino acid different. Tyrosine can be converted by tyrosine hydroxylase enzyme into levodopa, a psychoactive drug that is used, among other uses, for clinical treatment of Parkinson’s disease. It is also involved in the synthesis of dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine.

Magnesium Stearate is coommonly used as a filling agent in the manufacture of capsules and tablets, such as vitamins, the source of this ingredient is typically bovine. However, there is an increasing number of vegetarian options in which the product specifically indicates it contains magnesium stearate from vegetable sources.

Octopamine, which is a trace amine, recently believed to be a lipotropic for fat loss. Octopamine has low oral bioavailability and is readily broken down by MAOI, as well as metabolized by the gut wall, which may mean it would not work well when taken orally, but more research is needed to prove its positive or negative effects.
