Acetyl L-Carnitine- These nutrients are important to the body because of their capabilities of dealing with fatty acids. They change the fatty acids and other body components in substances that can create energy production

Alpha Lipoic Acid is said to be a powerful antioxidant that aids in the neutralization of free radicals i.e unstable molecules that cause damage, within the body. It is easily absorbed by the gut whether taken in food or as a supplement and is used to detoxify the liver by increasing levels of glutathione which then go on to dissolve toxic substances contained in liver cells. It helps vitamins such as C and E be more efficient and is particularly efficient at alleviating the symptoms of glaucoma and generally protecting the lens and retina from degenerative processes. It can be especially beneficial for those with raised blood sugar levels as in diabetes, anyone with a high level of cholesterol or who has hardening of the arteries or early stage cataracts.

Calcium Citrate, calcium salt of citric acid, is one of the forms of the mineral calcium. Calcium is required for a wide array of bodily functions and its deficiency can result in disorders like osteoporosis. In order for the body to continue its daily processes efficiently, a steady level of calcium has to be maintained in the body. If your daily diet does not provide you with the necessary calcium, you may have to resort to calcium citrate or calcium carbonate supplements. While both of them serve the same purpose, calcium citrate has added benefits than calcium carbonate. Not only is it easy on your digestive system but also more easily absorbed. Ideally, not more than 500 mg. should be consumed in a single dose. Dividing the dosage over the course of the day is preferable.

Chromium.

Citrus Aurantium is a fruit from the citrus family. Although later replaced by the sweet orange in recognition, it has retained many practical uses both in home remedies and in food. Citrus Aurantium boosts up the metabolism, which converts fat deposits into energy. Extensive use may help to control weight and hold back the effects of obesity. It can work as an appetite suppressant to restrain overeating. Citrus Aurantium can help to reduce chest congestion and coughs. Citrus Aurantium is a potent energy booster.

Green Tea Extract is a widely consumed beverage in the world. It is well known for its antioxidant properties. It is traditionally used to treat ailments such as headaches, poor digestion, and body aches. Green tea extract is rich in catechin which increases the level of cholecystokinin that suppresses that appetite, thus promoting weight loss. It also contains Pheophytins, chlorophylls, caffeine, and carotenoids that have anti-genotoxic and antioxidant properties. It also helps in thermogenesis and in the metabolism of fat, promoting weight loss. The EGCG content protects the body from free radical damages. It also blocks the carcinogens that may cause cancer and protects the body from digestive and respiratory infections. It also has anti-bacterial properties.

Phenylalanine, which may aid in weight loss through the feeling of satiety or fullness by taking phenylalanine with a glass of water 20 minutes before a meal.

Phosphatidylserine is present in all cells, especially in the cell membranes which protect them and help in the absorption of nutrients and disposal of wastes from cells. Phosphatidylserine reduces depression and improves mental abilities of the aged. It is used in treating people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. It is also used as a brain booster and helps to improve memory and the overall functioning of the brain for all ages. Phosphatidylserine is used by athletes as it is believed to assist muscle building and repair due to damage caused by excessive exercising or soreness. It is also linked with reducing stress. It is found in meats, poultry and some vegetables especially white beans. Before using this supplement obtained from soybeans, consulting a physician is recommended.

Vanadyl Sulfate is an inorganic compound of vanadium and the most widely found laboratory source. It is derived from petroleum residues, which is known as the most common commercial supplier of vanadium. Humans do not require vanadium, which means it is not necessary for humans to ingest vanadium in order to survive. Some vanadyl compounds are known to have the effect of mimicking the effects of insulin, which led to a popular use of Vanadyl Sulfate as a dietary supplement. In body building circles it is believed that Vanadyl Sulfate is increasing the performance and that muscle cells take up glucose easier under the influence of Vanadyl Sulfate. The insulin mimicking characteristic is believed to allow amino acids, proteins and carbs to directly enter muscles, but the scientific proof is still under deliberation.

Vitamin C, also known as Ascorbic (a-SKOR-bik) acid, is needed for many functions in the body, including helping the body use carbohydrates, protein, and fats. Vitamin C is found in most citrus fruits and green vegetables and is a strong antioxidant.

Vitamin E consists of eight related vitamins that are all fat soluble and have antioxidant properties. The alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-tocopherols with the corresponding tocotrienols all belong to the Vitamin E group, whereby the alpha-tocopherol has been found to be the most bioavailable form. Vitamin E is commonly found in food sources like eggs, milk, nuts, seeds, vegetable oil like olive oil, wholegrain foods, wheat germ, red palm oil, but also in asparagus and avocado fruits. While Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, several other properties have been noted as well, such as prevention of damage to neurons, cholesterol reduction and cancer prevention. Vitamin E has been also identified as a vital signaling molecule, whereby the primary necessity of Vitamin E to human survival is still not clear.
