GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) strikes a balance between the excitation and inhibition of the brain. This abundant inhibitory neurotransmitter is vital for our well being, as it brings on relaxation and sleep. Due to its stimulating effect on the anterior pituitary, it increases the levels of Human Growth Hormone or HGH that is very anabolic and lipotropic. Obviously, the use of GABA supplement has a positive effect on the anabolic (muscle building) and lipotropic (fat preventing) effects. Like all other supplements, GABA may also cause mild side effects if taken more than the recommended dose. Some of the side effects of GABA include mild tingling sensation around the face and neck area and slight change in breathing patterns or heart rate that normalize in a short while. Thankfully, GABA side effects are not so severe. Due to its mild sedative effect, you must ideally take GABA before going to bed.

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.

Magnesium Stearate is coommonly used as a filling agent in the manufacture of capsules and tablets, such as vitamins, the source of this ingredient is typically bovine. However, there is an increasing number of vegetarian options in which the product specifically indicates it contains magnesium stearate from vegetable sources.

Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland in the brain regulating other hormones and circadian rhythm in the body. It determines when we sleep and when we awake. Activated by darkness, it remains suppressed during the day. Melatonin levels are age related, with children having high levels which diminish with increasing age leading to disturbed sleep in the aged. It controls the onset of menstruation and menopause in women. Melatonin is known for its antioxidant properties. Melatonin supplements prevent insomnia, improve the quality of sleep and increase morning alertness. It is known to stimulate bone growth, prevent headaches and migraines and reduce depression and anxiety. It reduces sleep disturbances in children with ADHD. Reduced melatonin production leads to an increased risk of cancer.

Phosphatidylcholine - Phosphatidylcholines are phospholipids which are found in all biological membranes. It is derived from egg yolk or soy beans. Found in abundant counts in lecithin, phosphatidylcholines are sometimes mistakenly referred to as lecithin. Phosphatidylcholine has been used in clinical emergencies, particularly in treatment of atheroma plaques in cardiac diseases. An interesting side effect has been observed during such use, namely that the injection area of phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate displayed visible fat loss effects. There is currently widespread medical research in progress, in regards to injection lipolysis and the use of phosphatidylcholine for breaking down the fat cells and render the cosmetic procedure liposuction obsolete. While there are some side effects to this application, there were no long term damages noted, furthermore, the short term side effects were significantly less in comparison with the liposuction procedure.

Phosphatidylethanolamine, also called Cephalin, is the second most abundant phospholipid in animal and plant lipids. It occurs especially in blood plasma and the white matter of the central nervous system. It is found in all tissues, and is helpful in converting free serine into choline, increasing the levels of acetylcholine and energizing cholinergic pathways. This provides the advantage of producing an increase in memory retrieval efficiency while improving balance and coordination. Phosphatidylethanolamine is a key building block of membrane bilayers as it is often the main lipid component of microbial membranes and can amount to 20% of liver phospholipids and as much as 45% of brain phospholipids.

Propionyl Carnitine ethyl ester is a short chain of carnitine ester. It is commonly used for supporting aging male’s health and reducing fatigue. It helps transport fatty acids into the muscle cells, stimulating the production of more energy. It improves the metabolism and helps burn fats. It ensures that the fats are burned first to use for energy. It also fights free radicals damages in the body. It is also improves blood circulation, and is good for preventing and treating angina, heart attack, and other heart conditions. Aside from balancing cholesterol level, it also helps in maintaining the blood sugar level. It also help men with regards to erection problems.

Usnic Acid is an extract of lichen, which is derived from certain classes of lichen. It is widely used in preparation of cosmetic products, toothpastes, medicine, hair shampoos, and perfumery. In some composition Usnic acid is used as an active principle, and in some composition it used as preservative. Usnic acid also helps in reducing weight. Due to weight reducing property of Usnic acids, Usnic acid and its salts are used as a food supplement for those who want to reduce their weight. However, there is no compact scientific proof behind the fact. Usnic acid has adverse effects also, it has been reported that due to consumption usnic acid liver can be damaged.

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.
