Bioperine- Basically a pure and safe nutritional supplement of piperine, Bioperine can have several positive effects on our body. It contains about ninety five percent of piperine that is known to enhance the bioavailability of nutrients. As a result, bioperine intake helps in rapid absorption of nutrients from the gastrointestinal tract. Owing to its affinity for the fatty tissue, it even interacts with the lipid component of the intestinal cell membrane thereby allowing further nutrient permeability. It is quite popular due to its ability to enhance thermogenesis. This is how it works - the piperine present in bioperine stimulates the release of catecbolamines that trigger thermogenesis in the GI tract thus, making more energy available for digestion. It can be combined with other nutrients too to improve the health of human beings as well as animals.
Chromium Picolinate is a combination of chromium and picolinate acid. Combined with exercise, it is commonly used to lose weight through reducing appetite, increasing metabolism rate and melting fats. This, however, has not been proved clinically. It is also believed to increase energy, life span, prevent acne and improve a person’s mood. Being considered a natural alternative to steroids, it is recommended to athletes.
Chromium is found in fish, poultry, whole-grains, cheese and meat. It helps in the proper working of cells by improving the efficiency of insulin. Picolinate acid helps in the proper absorption of chromium.
A combination of chromium picolinate and other supplements may be risky, hence professional advice should be sought before using it. Pregnant or nursing women should also be careful.
Gelatin constitutes the shells of pharmaceutical capsules in order to make them easier to swallow. Gelatin is a translucent, colourless, brittle, nearly tasteless solid substance, extracted from the collagen inside animals' connective tissue. It has been commonly used as a gelling agent in food, pharmaceutical, photography, and cosmetic manufacturing.
Ginseng Extract
Magnolia Bark usage has been adopted from traditional Chinese medicine, where it was being used as an anti depressant. In conjunction with other ingredients, like Pinellia ternata, Poria cocos and Zingiber officinale, it has displayed effects that rival the ones of Prozac. Houpu, which is how Chinese call magnolia officinalis bark, contains polyphenolic compounds, mangolol, which is a bioactive compound with antifungal properties; and honokiol, a biphenolic compound which is known as an anxiolytic, anti-emetic, anti-depressant, antithrombotic and anti-bacterial. Honokiol in particular is a very potent anti-tumorigenic and neurotrophic compound, used to combat melanoma, leukemia, myeloma and sarcoma, as well as a multitude of cancers. It is also a known promoter of neurite outgrowth and has neuroprotective effects. There are no adverse effects known.

White Kidney Bean Extract- Phaseolus vulgaris, or the common bean, exists in many varieties. One of such varieties is a popular Italian version, Cannellini beans, in the United States labeled often as white kidney beans. While several healthy ingredients warrant a healthy application of these beans, in particular the body building community is using a white kidney bean extract as a nutritional supplement for weight loss purposes. While there is no magic behind the formula, the idea behind the lipogenic effect of the white kidney bean extract seems sound. Although many people seem to dispute this particular aspect, other nutrients, like thiamine, Vitamin B6, folic acid, selenium, potassium, iron, molybdenum, as well as the high levels of protein, starch and dietary fiber, make this product a body building priority.
