This extract not only can interact with UCP1, a thermogenic protein, which as a consequence burns energy as heat, but also has shown in studies on mice to reduce the fat uptake. Evodiamine seems to increase the resting temperature of humans, whereby increased fat and calories are burned in order to supply the heat. Deemed a breakthrough in thermogenesis, evodiamine is subject of several clinical studies.

Guarana- The active constituent of guarana is caffeine, which means that it should not be used alongside ephedrine as either a dietary aid or in order to stimulate performance. The American Food and Drug Administration has not tested its effectiveness or its purity as they do not class it as a drug.

Hordenine, which is also known as N-Dimethyl-hydroxyphenylethylamine, is a phenylethylamine alkaloid, which naturally occurs in barley seeds, but also in several cactus plants. The phenomenal antibiotic and antibacterial properties have long been recognized by the medical community, where in particular penicillin resistant Staphylococcus bacteria can be successfully restrained. Hordenine stimulates norepinephrine release and is therefore deemed a direct central nervous system stimulant. Norepinephrine, in turn, is a hormone that works as a lipolytic, aiding in liberating the stored fat from the cells and make it available for burning during the workout. The body building community commonly uses Hordenine as a weight loss agent. Furthermore, it seems that Hordenine is slowing down the digestive process, thereby slowing down the calorie transfer, allowing the excess fat to be burned, while retaining the feeling of satiation.

L-Tyrosine, a non-essential amino acid that is used to build protein. It is a precursor dopamine, as well as a precursor to norepinephrine and epinephrine.

Octopamine is a secretion initially discovered in the salivary glands of the Octopus and hence the derivation of the name. it tendso to act as a neurotransmitter, transmitting messages from the neurons to the brain and vice versa.

Synephrine or oxedrine is a drug derived from bitter orange or Citrus aurantium. It is an aromatic compound with the systematic name 4-[1-hydroxy-2-(methylamino)ethyl]phenol which indicates that it has an attached hydroxyl group at para position and a methyl amino group at another position. It is not one of those compounds on which an extensive scientific study has been done. However, it has some positional isomers such as the neosynephrine as well as other compounds. Studies indicate that it could act as a Beta-3 adrenergic receptor which means that if taken as a supplement it enhances the breakdown of fat to release energy and also increases heat production in the muscles.

Vinpocetine is a compound that is derived from a substance found in the leaves naturally called vincamine. Vinpocetine was established in 1960s.

Vinpocetine increases the blood circulation and reduces the impairment in the brain. Vinpocetine is given to people suffering with Alzheimer’s disease as a complementary treatment. It enhances the use of oxygen in the brain and protects the brain cell from damage. Thereby it works in enhancing the blood flow towards the brain. Vinpocetine prevents strokes and memory disturbances. Vinpocetine is useful in improving, hearing, eyesight and also in alleviating problems that are connected to menopause. Vinpocetine has effect on the damaged areas in the brain and is also an anti-oxidant. So it shields the brain from aging. The dosage recommended is 5mg tablet twice or thrice daily.

As a nutritional supplement, White Willow products are being propagated as weight loss additives, whereby the scientific community has yet to provide any corroboration to this allegation. Besides the well known anti inflammatory characteristics, any other uses have not been approved by the FDA.
