5-HTP is an amino acid which occurs naturally. It is sold in many countries including the United States not only as a diet supplement but also as an appetite suppressant, antidepressant and to abet sleep. 5 –HPT affects the serotonin synthesis present in the central nervous system and causes psychoactiveness. 5 – HPT is believed to increase the production of neurons in the serotonin; this in turn increases serotonin release and causes mood imrpovement. When administered along with decarboxylase inhibitor like carbidopa it increases the level of plasma. Nevertheless, several studies have come up with contradictory reports. While some has come up with theories about its effectiveness even in the absence of decarboxylase inhibitor, others indicate that 5 – HPT when combined with carbidopa could cause conditions similar to scleroderma.

7-Keto, a natural metabolite of DHEA, but with less side effects. The Body's production of DHEA declines with age. This decline in DHEA may lead to weight gain, supplementation with 7-keto is believed to help replace lower levels of DHEA, which is the reason why it was included in 7-KetoTrim.

Acetyl L-Carnitine is derived from methionine and lysine amino acids and this is primarily synthesized in the kidneys and liver. This is transported to various other tissues in the body. However, the highest concentration of Acetyl L Carnitine is found in the tissues that employs the fatty acids to be the primary dietary fuel mainly the cardiac and skeletal muscles. The supplement of Acetyl L Carnitine is very useful for the oxidation of fatty acid and helps in burning the unwanted body fat. The fatty acids are the main energy sources and the process called oxidation is the main to break and create it into energy. The fatty acids fail to penetrate the mitochondia membrane and Acetyl L Carnitine transports fatty acids through the mitochondia membrane allowing fats oxidation. Acetyl L Carnitine plays a vital role in the production of energy and supports the body functions that need high energy levels. This is available in many foods such as vegetables grains and meats. This is available in higher concentration in beef and lamb and the vegetables and white meats have least concentration.

L-Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid, which is used by the cells in order to synthesize the proteins and appears to help stabilize ones mood during periods of high stress levels.
