6,7 Dihydroxybergamottin is a furanocoumarin. This ingredient is generally present in grapefruit. It is also present in bergamot oil from which it derives its name. To a lesser extent it is even available in other citrus fruits and essential oils. Consuming 6, 7 dihydroxybergamottin supplements have an affect on the metabolism of various pharmaceutical drugs. 6, 7 Dihydroxybergamottin inhibits isforms of cytochrome P450 enzyme, especially CYP3A4. It is because of this feature that the enzyme prevents oxidative metabolism of some drugs, which results in accumulation of the drug in the bloodstream. According to some clinical studies 6, 7 dihydroxybergamottin hamper the body’s ability to digest caffeine, thereby extending its presence in the body. Patients under medication must therefore avoid consuming grapefruit and related supplements.

Acacia Gum- Acacia belongs to the Mimosacaea family and is a cousin of legumes. This plant produces acacia gum only in adverse conditions like drought, poor soil or heat. This is because the trees get damaged and produce gum. The abundance of acacia gum is in Sudan. Acacia gum is tasteless, colorless and is soluble in cold water. Acacia gum is a blend of proteins and complex polysaccharides. The bark is stripped from the unhealthy plants and then they form gum that dries such that the can be later on collected. The gum drops have irregular shape and are yellowish white or beige in color. Acacia gum is employed in many items ranging from ice cream to ink.

B-Phenylethylamine HCL is known to be a perfect stimulant and strong mood enhancer. It is extremely efficient in enhancing body metabolism by allowing you to burn more calories and accumulated fat at a faster pace. Unlike many other stimulants, B-Phenylethylamine does its job without causing any negative side effects like negative side effects like nervousness, anxiety or some slight headaches. It’s major ingredient Phenylethylamine gets metabolized by “monamine oxidase” (MAO). This enzyme thwarts all but the slightest amounts of Phenylethylamine from entering the bloodstream.

Caffeine is a stimulant drug used for mental alertness and to accelerate energy and power. It is also used to delay muscle fatigue as it goes deep into the muscle tissues.

Hoodia Gordonii grows in Namibia and South Africa naturally. It is a leafless spiny plant useful for medicinal purposes. These flowers are pollinated by flies mainly as they smell identical to rotten meat. Hoodia is known long by indigenous population and is infrequently used for treating small infections and indigestion. This is used to suppress appetite during long hunting trips such as Kalahari Desert that interests more tourists. Hoodia Gordonii was prominent for it appetite suppressing effect and hence was collaborated with Pfizer, a pharmaceutical company to deal with obesity. However, it was stopped as it is stated to have indications of effects on liver. Hoodia Gordonii is wild harvested by individuals as well as by few companies that are granted license. However, there is no evidence of Hoodia working in humans as appetite suppressant. Due to the lack of clarity and fear of breaking down of liver, it is not recommended for obesity.

L-5 Hydroxytryptophan, also known as Griffonia seed extract or L-5-HTP, is produced naturally from the Griffonia simplicifolia trees in West Africa. Africans have been using the extract for centuries for a natural wound healer and cure for kidney infections. L-5 Hydroxytryptophan has traditionally been used for many other treatments as well, including as a combat for stomach problems, to produce a higher libido, and as an internal cleanser.

This increase in serotonin provides users with a sense of serenity and calm as it is a natural tranquilizer.

N-Methyl-B-Phenylethylamine is an extremely important derivative used in fat loss. It also appears as Beta-Phenylethyylamine (PEA). As a catecholamine antecedent and nutrient in chocolate, it acts a stimulant to the central nervous system without side effects like nervousness or jitteriness that is almost normal with stimulants. PEA acts on alpha receptors in the brain and triggers the releases dopamine in neural cells. It’s known to reduce food cravings, affect the mood, brings a sense of satiety as well as increasing the metabolic rate. It regulates catechlomines like adrenaline and noradrenalin that act on lipase, that enzyme that mobilizes fatty tissue from storage.

Naringin, which is a citrus flavanoid that is found in grapefruit. Naringin is commonly used in energy supplements as it may extend the duration of the effects of caffeine.

Phenylethlamine HCL is a salt of phenylethylamine. It is a crystalline solid and is formed by treating phenylethylamine with HCl. Its IUPAC name is 2 phenylethylamine HCl. The scientific name elucidates its chemical structure. It is an aromatic compound meaning that it has a basic benzene ring. It further has a two carbon chain attached at position 2 of the ring and the chain terminates in an amino group. It occurs naturally in some foods like chocolates but the food item might get metabolized too quickly sometimes for it to have a significant effect on the body. This substance has quite profound effects on the level of dopamine in the central nervous system, provided it passes the blood brain barrier. It increases dopamine level and at the same time inhibits dopamine transmitters resulting in a buildup of dopamine in the brain. While excessive levels of dopamine in the CNS are not healthy, the neurotransmitter does regulate cognition, mood, voluntary movement and other brain functions.

R-Beta-Methylphenylethylamine HCL is a relatively new compound which is the active isomer of Methylphenylethylamine similar to how 1R-25 Norephedrine was of PPA many years ago. What makes R-Beta-Methylphenylethylamine HCL very popular and an important component for many commercially produced weight loss products is to do with the effects it has on the human body. R-Beta-Methylphenylethylamine HCL is a compound which stimulates norepinephrine unlike any other compound in the body. By stimulating norepinehrine, R-Beta-Methylphenylethylamine HCL produces effects like appetite suppression, increase in energy and through the combination of these two effects, there is an overall result of weight loss.

Synephrine HCL is a stimulant that bares close similarities to caffeine, it aids in increasing metabolic rate as well as burning excess calories.

Theobromine, which is a mild diuretic and mild stimulant. Theobromine can be found in cocoa and chocolate products. Theobromine is most commonly used for its diuretic effect.

Yohimbine HCL is the active chemical component of the medicinal herb Pausinystalia yohimbe. It is a stimulant drug and is reportedly an aphrodisiac. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), the standardised form of this chemical is Yohimbine hydrochloride (HCL) and is available as a prescription drug in the United States. Research has shown that yohimbine hydrochloride is effective as a treatment for male impotence. However while yohimbine HCL has been used as a prescription medicine to treat erectile dysfunction controlled studies suggests conflicting results. Apart from male sexual dysfunction, yohimbine HCL has also been used to treat the side effects of antidepressants like female hyposexual disorder etc. It is also used to recall memories in the treatment of post-traumatic-stress-disorder. While there are several uses for yohimbine HCL, there are several side effects too. These include high blood pressure, insomnia, panic attacks, hallucinations, headaches, renal failure, heart disease etc.
