5-HTP is an amino acid that assists in controlling appetite, moods, insomnia, anxiety and reduces the symptoms of headaches, PMS, and fibromyalgia.

Astragalus Root Extract is commonly used to help fight immune deficiencies, infections, and allergies. The Chinese use the dried sliced or extracted powdered root for these reasons and to help boost vitality. Astragalus is generally combined with other herbs to ginseng tea. While Astragalus root extract is believed to help prevent diseases, it doesn’t cure them. Astragalus itself is a large genus of about 2,000 species of herbs and small shrubs. It belongs to the legume family Fabaceae, and subfamily Faboideae. It is also known as milk-vetch, locoweed, and goat's-thorn. It consists of astragalosides and other immunostimulant polysaccharides, beta-sitosterol, flavonoids, and trace minerals, especially selenium.

GABA or gamma-aminobutyric acid happens to be an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain that is crucial for our well being since it helps induce relaxation and sleep. As such, it performs the role of a balancer for the brain by balancing excitation of the brain with inhibition. There is more to GABA than its balancing effects. GABA has a major impact on muscle building and fat prevention due to its effect on HGH levels. GABA stimulates the anterior pituitary thereby increasing Human Growth Hormone (HGH) levels. HGH has anabolic and lipotropic properties and GABA thus indirectly causes these two positive effects in the body. However, people taking GABA supplementation may experience certain side effects that may range from tingling sensations around the face and neck area to mild change in breathing patterns or heart rate. Thankfully, these side effects are not harmful and subside quickly.

Grape seed is the seeds of the ordinary grapes. They are used primarily because they have polyphenols recognized as anti oxidants. Research confirms numerous health benefits of grape seed extracts; they limit lipid oxidation, thus controlling high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels. Grape seeds contain phenolics, which are useful in treatment of heart disease because they inhibit platelet aggregation and reduce inflammation, however, the results are preliminary and more research is being done to confirm these facts. A polyphenol contained in grape seeds is resveratrol which may inhibit cancer cell growth and proliferation, and it may also be active against HIV by inhibiting expression and replication of the genome of the virus.

Inositol - The precise role of Inositol is unknown. Animals deficient in inositol grow poorly and show hair loss. iI occurs naturally in fruits and cereals.

L-Theanine is an amino acid found in tea. It has calming effect, induces relaxation, prevents depression, and improves the mood. It helps in maintaining the ideal blood pressure and reduces the risk of heart attack. It is beneficial in maintaining the brain functions and improves focus, alertness, and concentration. It increases the production of dopamine that helps in curbing the appetite and cravings. L-Theanine also improves the metabolism that aids in the burning of fat. L-Theanine also improves the immune function that protects the body against bacterial and viral infections. It also aids in regulating the blood sugar and blood cholesterol levels.

Melatonin, a naturally produced chemical messenger made by the pinealocytes, the cells in the pineal gland, which is located in the brain. Melatonin is involved in the circadian cycle, where it is believed that it chemically lowers the body temperature and causes drowsiness. The pineal gland produces melatonin only when it is dark, i.e. during the night. It is furthermore believed that melatonin interacts with leptin, whereby the leptin levels are lowered. Actually it was found that the interaction with insulin stimulated the leptin levels, which seems to be responsible for appetite suppression during sleep. Further investigation provided evidence that melatonin displays strong antioxidant properties. N-Acetyl-5-Methoxytryptamine, or melatonin, has been studied extensively for treatment of many diseases, including treatment of drug abuse, cancer, seasonal affective disorder and depression.

Red Wine Extract is derived from ripe grapes. It commonly known for the benefits it provides the heart. It lowers the low density lipoprotein cholesterol and increases the high density lipoprotein cholesterol. It also has anti-clotting or antithrombotic action which decreases the level of fibrinogen, a protein that promotes blood clot formation. Its alcohol and polyphenol contents help stop the progression of atherosclerosis by promoting the formation of NO that relaxes the blood vessels. It also prevents hypertension because it has lowers the blood pressure and has relaxing effects. Studies also showed that red wine extract contains resveratrol, a polyphenol, which protects the nerves and may help prevent Alzheimer’s disease. It also help prevent kidney stones.

Resveratrol is a polyphenolic, natural antimicrobial produced by some plants. It consists of two double bonded benzene rings with one ring having two hydroxyl groups and the other having one hydroxyl group. It occurs naturally in a number of plant products. It was originally extracted from the roots of white hellebore. It also occurs in the skin of red grapes. Research on animal models has demonstrated its beneficial properties. It is believed to possess anti-aging properties and anti-cancer properties. It interferes with all three stages of cancer—initiation, promotion and progression. It also possesses anti inflammatory and blood sugar lowering effects.

Vitamin B6, also known as Pyridoxine, Vitamin B6 is an essential vitamin to aid in the formation of healthy red blood cells and supports more vital bodily functions than any other vitamin. A water-soluble vitamin, Vitamin B6 is needed to release energy from the food we eat. Vitamin B6 cannot be stored in the body, so it must be obtained daily from either food or supplements. Vitamin B6’s role as a coenzyme involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins is what makes it important for dieters. Vitamin B6 is also responsible for the manufacture of hormones, red blood cells, neurotransmitters, enzymes, and prostaglandins. Vitamin B6 is required for the production of seratonin, a brain neurotransmitter that controls mood, appetite, sleep patterns, and sensitivity to pain. For weight loss, dieters should include vitamin B6 to increase their metabolism while rounding out a healthy diet.
