Bioperine is an extract from the fruit of Piper nigrum L (black pepper) or Piper longum L (long pepper) that contains 95 percent of piperine. Black pepper is a common household spice. Extract from black pepper has also been used extensively as a medicine. To reach the greatest quality during the harvest, the pepper is reaped before ripening and after that is placed to dry under the sun rays. Bioperine is known for its effect to enhance the efficiency of many supplement nutrients. Bioperine acts to enhance the body’s natural therogenic activity – giving the name thermonutrient. This enhancement brings about increased metabolic rate creating demand for supple of many nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, herbals, amino acids. It sets in motion a process that brings about better digestion and faster gastrointestinal absorption.

Dicaffeine Malate is actually a combination of caffeine and malic acid. Malic acid in turn is won out of Apple Juice and is a food additive with the E number E296. In green apples, the sour taste is due to malic acid. When cocaine was outlawed, The Coca-Cola Company introduced dicaffeine malate as the replacement. It is a stimulant, much like caffeine, but apparently gentler on the digestive tract. Many traits associated with regular caffeine are found in this caffeine salt, but through the interaction with malic acid, additional features have been observed. Dicaffeine malate is a very common ingredient in dietary supplements, it is supposed to optimize energy levels, increase mental focus and cognitive awareness, but also is able to stimulate thermogenesis.

Evodiamine, an alkaloid extract from the Evodiae Fructus plant is known as Evodiamine. It has been referred to as a “hot nature” herb in Chinese literature and medicine. Based on animal studies, Evodiamine increases the natural fat burning rate and stimulates vanilloids for reduction of fat intake. It increases body temperature, influences the adrenal glands to secrete catecholamines and also affects the metabolism of certain drugs. Since it acts like a thermogenic and increases the overall temperature, more fat and calories are burnt due to its intake. This alkaloidal compound has anti obesity effects due to UCP1 (uncoupling protein 1) thermogenesis. In part, evodiamine can prevent diet induced obesity from developing further. It is available in the form of supplement or through Evodiae Fructus plant.

Forslean is extracted from the roots of the Coleus forskohlii. It is a popular ingredient in many weight loss and bodybuilding supplements because recent research shows it to initiate a chemical process in the body that results in burning of energy and fat cells. Forslean is shown to increase thyroid activity, which increases metabolism. Increase in metabolism results in burning of more calories, thus helping users lose weight. Some research also claims that Forslean can increase muscle gains in body builders while burning fat at the same time. It is also claimed to cure mood disorders.

Razberi-K is a ketone unique to raspberry. Raspberry is rich in bioactive elements that are good for health. It is beneficial in reducing fats in the body. It helps decrease fat levels in the body in two ways: by reducing absorption of dietary fat and; by enhancing liplysis induced by norepinephrine. Research has found that increasing lipolysis can help boost glycerol release, enhancing translocation of hormone sensitive lipase in fat cells. Due to its fat burning ability, it is beneficial in weight reduction. It also has the capability of enhancing metabolic efficiency and decreasing production of harmful free radicals in the body.

Sclareolide- Although used primarily as a fragrance component in tobacco and cosmetics sclareolide was found to contain properties useful in weight loss and athletic nutrition.
