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.

DL-Phenylalanine, an amino acid that acts as a natural pain reliever, is a 50/50 combination of the D- and L- forms of phenylalanine. It relieves pain by blocking the enzymes that interrupt endorphins and enkephlins from naturally lessening pain in the body. Endorphins can be more powerful than the drug morphine and are released by small cells in the brain, nervous system, spine and nerve endings. DL-phenylalanine also weakens the appetite and is considered a stimulant of mild strength. The human body does not naturally produce phenylalanine so it has to be obtained from eating food. It is converted by the body into tyrosine, which is also an amino acid that makes proteins, and brain chemicals like dopamine, norepinephrine and thyroid hormones. Used in high quantities it can be toxic and should not be used at all by those who have schizophrenia as it can cause confusion, lethargy, depression, decreases in memory and alertness, anxiety and jitteriness.

L-Glutamine is an amino acid that occurs most abundantly in the body by being released from muscles under stress. Aside from increasing the immune system’s efficiency to fight diseases, it also takes care of the normal functioning of the brain and the digestive system through the removal of excess ammonia in the body. A number of factors, such as stress, infections, injuries and surgery affect the levels of glutamine in the system, showing that the healing process is under way. Glutamine supplements may be used by regular exercisers to help in the recovery of muscular fitness after a workout. Glutamine, however, is known to be linked with infections of the intestine and users are advised to seek advice from professionals before ingesting this amino acid.

Lecithin is needed by every cell in the body and is a key building block of cell membranes; without it, they would harden. Lecithin protects cells from oxidation and largely comprises the protective sheaths surrounding the brain. It is composed mostly of B vitamins, phosphoric acid, choline, linoleic acid and inositol.

N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine HCL occurs naturally from L-Carnitine. It plays a significant role in acetylcholine production and is one of the important neurotransmitter for the main system, the brain and also for the function of the nerve cells. N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine improves memory as well as enhances the performance of overall brain. N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine is effective for elderly people in restoring their memory problems.

This is also of immense use in treating blood pressure, skin and hair color as well as Parkinson’s disease. N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine gets converted into the body and is soluble in water. N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine serves as one of the significant supplement to increase the tyrosine levels present in the body because the substances that stay undissolved are un-absorbed by the digestive tract. This contains B-6 vitamin and this is a must for the synthesis for neurotransmitter. N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine is prohibited by the FDA regulations to be appropriate for medical treatment. N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine, in the recent research has come to conclude that it is effective for medical conditions. Even mild stress causes neurotransmitter deficiency and this ends up in sullen moods or depression. However, N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine is useful in restoring skin pigment and also is effective in hair darkening.

To diversify it from other betaines, trimethylglycine is often called glycine betaine as well. Humans generally ingest betaine through their diet, because it is high in content in wheat, whole wheat, shellfish, sugar beets and spinach. It can also be formed in the human body out of choline. As a potential methyl donor, trimethylglycine, or TMG for short, is in the same provider group with Vitamin B12, the folic acid, choline and S-adenosyl methionine, or SAMe. TMG also plays a vital function in the production of carnitine, furthermore it works in protecting kidneys and the liver.

Vitamin B12- Also called Riboflavin, B2 is a water absorbed vitamin of which the body must replenish its supplies each day as it cannot be stored. It is necessary for the production of red blood cells and, like the other B vitamins, it works at supporting it supports energy production by helping in the metabolism of various foods.B2 is required for healthy skin as well as hair growth, the nails and has a role in regulating the activity of the thyroid gland. It is also necessary in order that the body can process amino acids found in proteins and fats and to activate vitamin B6 and folic acid.

Zinc is a metallic chemical element and an essential trace element, whereby only two to four grams of Zinc are found in the human body. There are several biological roles that Zinc plays in humans, including the metabolism of RNA and DNA, gene expression and the regulation of apoptosis. It is deemed vital for proper brain activity and essential in the learning process. It is also critical for the central nervous system, but is also found in muscle, bones, liver, kidneys, eyes and most prominently in the prostate. It is supplied to the body by the ingestion of red meats, particularly beef and lamb, but can also be found in seeds, including sesame and mustard, wheat, beans, whole grains, sunflower seeds and nuts, including almonds.
