5-HTP is a compound formed in the body type of the amino acid tryptophan. It is an originator to the hormone and the melatonin neurotransmitter serotonin 5-HTP supplements have become most loved these days, as it is believed that providing 5-HTP to the body in the form of a pill can boost the serotonin levels in the body, similar to antidepressants that are believed to raise the amount of serotonin present in the brain. Some studies have indicated that 5-HTP might prevent migraines and decrease the regularity and sternness of migraines. Some side effects of 5-HTP are dizziness, nausea, and diarrhea.

It consists of astragalosides and other immunostimulant polysaccharides, beta-sitosterol, flavonoids, and trace minerals, especially selenium.

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) strikes a balance between the excitation and inhibition of the brain. This abundant inhibitory neurotransmitter is vital for our well being, as it brings on relaxation and sleep. Due to its stimulating effect on the anterior pituitary, it increases the levels of Human Growth Hormone or HGH that is very anabolic and lipotropic. Obviously, the use of GABA supplement has a positive effect on the anabolic (muscle building) and lipotropic (fat preventing) effects. Like all other supplements, GABA may also cause mild side effects if taken more than the recommended dose. Some of the side effects of GABA include mild tingling sensation around the face and neck area and slight change in breathing patterns or heart rate that normalize in a short while. Thankfully, GABA side effects are not so severe. Due to its mild sedative effect, you must ideally take GABA before going to bed.

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 is a carbocyclic polyol and a former member of the Vitamin B complex, listed as the Vitamin B8. Its most widely observed naturally occurring form is myo-inositol, which is found in many foods, such as high bran cereals, nuts beans, but also oranges and cantaloupe melons. Biological processes which are affected by inositol include the insulin signal transduction, nerve guidance in correlation with Epsin, cell membrane potential maintenance, serotonin activity modulation, cytoskeleton assembly, gene expression and breakdown of fats as well as reduction of blood cholesterol. Several psychiatric conditions can be treated with inositol, including obsessive compulsive disorder, clinical depression, panic disorder, bulimia and others. Due to all the positive influences, Vitamin B8 is a popular body building supplement; in particular the activity pertaining to the lipid metabolism is of essence.

Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland in the brain regulating other hormones and circadian rhythm in the body. It determines when we sleep and when we awake. Activated by darkness, it remains suppressed during the day. Melatonin levels are age related, with children having high levels which diminish with increasing age leading to disturbed sleep in the aged. It controls the onset of menstruation and menopause in women. Melatonin is known for its antioxidant properties. Melatonin supplements prevent insomnia, improve the quality of sleep and increase morning alertness. It is known to stimulate bone growth, prevent headaches and migraines and reduce depression and anxiety. It reduces sleep disturbances in children with ADHD. Reduced melatonin production leads to an increased risk of cancer.

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 (trans-resveratrol) is a phytoalexin produced naturally by several plants when they are attack by pathogens. It is also produced synthetically and sold as a supplement. Resveratrol is a polyphenolic phytoalexin, its chemical formula is C14H12O3 and Mol. Mass is 228.24 g mol-1. Research shows that Resveratol has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. Some studies also reported that it can lower elevated blood sugar levels; however, in majority of these experiments mice were the test subjects and its effects are yet to be replicated in humans. Experiments on nematode worms, fruit flies and short-lived fish have shown that Resveratrol can increase life span, but it did not increase the life span of mice.

Vitamin B6 allows the metabolism of amino acids, carbohydrates, as well as lipids to take place, also aids in keeping skin vibrant.
