DMAE- Deanol, which is actually the product name of dimethylaminoethanol, or DMAE, has been marketed under the Deanol brand name, usually in the supplement form Deanol Bitartrate. This organic compound is apparently connected to choline and is deemed a precursor to acetylcholine, which is a neurotransmitter in peripheral, central, autonomic and somatic nervous systems. The conclusion is that DMAE is methylated to create choline in the brain and that the liver processes it into choline is widely accepted. Limited studies conducted on human test subjects have shown that Deanol Bitartrate may boost alertness and vigilance, while improving the overall emotional state. DMAE topical applications seem to reduce the signs of aging, supplementing DMAE athletes reported shorter recovery and boosted performance. As an acetylcholine precursor, DMAE is also active in muscle contractions.

L-Leucine- Leucine is a hydrophobic essential alpha amino acid, which as an additive under the name L-Leucine has an E number E641, which classifies this amino acid as a flavor enhancer. The natural source of leucine includes whole wheat products, several species of nuts and brown rice. L-Leucine is one of the most abundant amino acids found in skeletal muscle tissues. L-Leucine became in recent times a very popular dietary supplement, particularly with the body building communities, because of the evidence that it slows down the degradation of muscle tissue in rats by elevating the production of muscle proteins. There are additional claims in circulation, which state that L-Leucine also controls the nitrogen balance and aids to the mental and cognitive abilities during high power workouts.

N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine relates to the supplementation of tyrosine. The N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine is converted into L-tyrosine. N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine is useful in treating depression and mood problems. This is also of immense use in treating blood pressure, skin and hair color as well as Parkinson’s disease. N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine gets converted into the body and is soluble in water. N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine serves as one of the significant supplement to increase the tyrosine levels present in the body because the substances that stay undissolved are un-absorbed by the digestive tract. This contains B-6 vitamin and this is a must for the synthesis for neurotransmitter. N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine is prohibited by the FDA regulations to be appropriate for medical treatment. N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine, in the recent research has come to conclude that it is effective for medical conditions. Even mild stress causes neurotransmitter deficiency and this ends up in sullen moods or depression. However, N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine is useful in restoring skin pigment and also is effective in hair darkening.

Preventive treatments may include cancer, prostatitis, cataracts, respiratory diseases and heart disease. Quercetin dihydrate is a form of quercetin found in nutritional supplements.

Raspberry Ketones- Red raspberries contain a phenolic compound, which is the main aroma in red raspberries. This raspberry ketone is being used in cosmetics and perfume industries, but also as a food additive. While the use as a weight loss agent has not yet been clinically tested on human subjects, preliminary research in lab mice has shown that raspberry ketones in high doses show a norepinephrine induced lipolysis. This leads to the effect that even a diet high on fats did not result in higher body weight. This fact has immediately led to the embrace of raspberry ketones by the weight loss and body building communities, despite the fact that raspberry fruits would be much healthier, containing ellagic acid, catechins, salicylic acid, and various other polyphenols, besides large quantities of Vitamin C.

Titanium Dioxide ~

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, which is naturally found in foods such as fish, milk and milk products, eggs, meat and poultry. Vitamin B12 is important for good health, necessary for the proper digestion and absorption of foods and for normal metabolism of carbohydrates, and fat. It helps maintain healthy nerve cells and red blood cells and is needed to make DNA. Vitamin B12 is bound to the protein in food. Hydrochloric acid in the stomach releases B12 from protein during digestion. Unlike other water-soluble nutrients, vitamin B12 is stored in the liver, kidney, and other body tissues. It can take several years before signs of the deficiency appear due to poor dietary intake. Vitamin B12 functions as a "methyl donor." A methyl donor is a compound that carries and donates methyl groups to other molecules, including cell membrane components and neurotransmitters. As a methyl donor vitamin B12 is involved in homocysteine metabolism and plays a critical role in proper energy metabolism, immune function, and nerve function. Therefore, vitamin B12 is clearly an added benefit for anyone wanting to lose weight, as without it, metabolism is not at its peak potential.

Vitamin B6contains pyridoxal phosphate, or PLP for short, as the active ingredient and is a vitamin belonging to the B complex grouping. It is functioning mainly as a co-enzyme with others in the human body, aiding in the proper function of several metabolic processes. Neurotransmitter synthesis, as well as hemoglobin and histamine synthesis are just some of the functions of PLP, hemoglobin function, gene expression and aiding in the facilitation of decarboxylation, elimination and other reactions, mainly taking place in the liver. Vitamin B6 was found to diminish by 50% the risk of Parkinson’s disease. Alternative medicine suggests the use of Vitamin B6 to combat autism, in combination with magnesium. This combination has shown effects with children suffering from attention deficit disorders. PLP also seems to show therapeutic effects for diabetic nephropathy.

Wasabia Japonica Powder or Wasabi is native to Japan and belongs to the cruciferous family. It was in the tenth century that wasabi was first cultivated in Japan.

The active ingredient of the White Willow bark is called salicin, a relative to aspirin and chemical derivative of the salicylic acid. When ingested, salicin is converted to salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid. 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.
