20-Hydroxyecdysone is an ecdysteroid hormone controlling the metamorphosis and ecdysis of anthropods. 20 – Hydroxyecdysone enhances physical performance. It promotes fat loss and muscle growth and minimizes side-effects which are normally connected to anabolic steriods. It increases DHT and testosterone production and brings about androgenic transformation in female. As a result it causes growth of body and facial hair and voice deepening and causes gastrointestinal problems in both sexes. There is some evidence to prove that 20 – Hydroxyecdysone effects blood cells like neutrophils and lymphocytes and acts like an immunomodulator. It must be taken daily in doses of 5 mg for every kg of body mass. The compound turns toxic when it is taken daily in doses of 6500 mg for every kg of body mass.

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.

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.

Lagerstroemia Speciosa is a plant that grows commonly in India and countries in Southeast Asia. It can be used for controlling blood sugar. It’s most potent ingredient is corosolic acid. It has the same effect as that of insulin, inducing the transport of glucose from the blood into the body cells. Lagerstroemia Speciosa also helps in weight loss because it enhances the metabolism. It also lowers cholesterol levels and helps maintain the blood pressure. It improves immune system and renal system. It contains Xanthine oxidase, an enzyme involved in catalyzing the oxidation of hypoxanthine to uric acid, this prevents and helps in treating hyperuricemia. Lagerstroemia Speciosa also has antioxidant and antibacterial properties.

Trans-Resveratrol is a phytoalexin produced naturally by several plants when under attack by pathogens, such as bacteria or fungi. Commercialy it is produced by chemical synthesis and is sold as nutritional supplement. In experiments on mice and rat, it has shown to be beneficial against cancer and blood sugar. Several other beneficial cardiovascular effects have also been reported. Most of these effects are yet to be established on humans.However, in an experiment high doses of Trans-resveratrol is found to significantly lower blood-sugar levels in human beings. In some other studies Trans-resveratrol is found to extend the life span of fruit flies, nematode worms and short-lived fish but it did’nt work on mice.

Tribulus Terrestris refers to an herb used in India and China as traditional medicines for centuries. Tribulus Terrestris contains active compounds known as steroidal saponins, and these are basically found in the leaf. The tribulus consists of furostanol and spirostanol glycosides. People use Tribulus Terrestris for erectile dysfunction as well as low libido. This has gained popularity owing to sports performance improvement. This is available in Russia and Bulgaria as it enhances the testosterone hormone levels, estrogen and DHEA. Tribulus Terrestris supplements taken for four weeks showed no effect on the hormones of the male sex. Preliminary studies heightened the sexual behavior in animals and yet the studies have not confirmed its effect on human beings. However, Tribulus is popular as an aid for sports performance as it shows no effect in exercise performance or body composition. Tribulus do not show any significant change in fat or body weight and this difference can be felt by experiencing strength in the leg press. Conversely, nursing or pregnant women should avoid taking Tribulus.
