Beta-Sitosterol is a plant sterol that can be found in a variety of foods and dietary supplements. It is also found in foods such as margarines and other types of spreads. Beta sitosterol is mainly used as an ingredient to help lower cholesterol and relieve symptoms of an enlarged prostate. It can also help reduce heart disease. It works by reducing the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine and lowering the amount of DHT in the body. It works mainly in the digestive system by blocking the absorption of cholesterol from the intestine. It is also possible that beta-sitosterol could help prevent hair loss, however it hasn’t been proven as of yet.

Epilobium refers to flowering plants that could be found all over the world, especially in areas which are subartic and subantartic. Epilobium plants grow in waste lands, particularly after forest fires in artic regions. Most of those that belongs to this genus are commonly known as willowherbs. On the other hand, there are some species that goes by the name fireweeds. Plants that belong to the genus Epilobium are characterized by their long terminal racemes that are either red flowers or purplish ones. Epilobium plants are getting attention lately for its use in prostate health.

Glutamic Acid is an excitatory neurotransmitter, which enhances firing of neurons in central nervous system. Glutamic acid is a main excitatory neurotransmitter in brain and spinal caord. It is transformed either into glutamine or gamma-aminobutyric acid – the two other amino acids which assist in transmitting messages to brain. Glutamic acid plays a vital role in metabolism of fats and sugars, and assists in transporting potassium into spinal fluid and across the blood-brain barrier. Though it doesn’t cross the blood-brain barrier as readily as is done by glutamine, it is present in blood at high levels and may reach the brain in small amounts. The brain can utilize glutamic acid as a fuel. It assists in correcting personality disorders and is helpful in treating childhood behavioral disorders. It is also used in treating mental retardation, epilepsy, ulcers, muscular dystrophy, and hypoglycemic coma.

L-Alanine- As one of the twenty alpha amino acids that are proteinogenic, which means that these amino acids are building blocks of proteins, L-Alanine is the second most abundant amino acid, with leucine being the first. This nonpolar amino acid can be produced by the body by means of reductive amination of pyruvate and some branched chain amino acids, like isoleucine, leucine and valine. Liver and tissues depend on alanine, which plays a prominent role in the glucose alanine cycle. Alanine is also involved in the removal of nitrogen from tissues to the liver, but alanine also assists in the blood sugar tapping of the body for energy requirements. Despite being a non-essential amino acid, alanine is found in meat, dairy products, fish, poultry, eggs, some beans, nuts and seeds, brown rice bran, corn and whole grains, among other sources.

L-Glycine is the simplest of the amino acids with only a hydrogen atom for its functional group. Amino acids are building blocks of protein. L-Glycine is a proteinogenic amino acid; therefore, it actively takes part in the production of proteins in our body. It also acts as a biosynthetic intermediate; for instance, in the production of porphyrins. L-Glycine also acts as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It is also used to buffer the pH in products ranging from antacids and analgesics to antiperspirants. It is also essential for the production of nucleic acids, bile acids and other amino acids.

Lycopene is a bright red pigment found in tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables such as carrots, watermelon, guava, and papaya. It is a phytochemical that belongs to a family of carotenoid. It is an effective antioxidant that fights free radicals that may lead to cardiovascular diseases, cataracts, premature aging and even cancer. Its structure is similar to beta-carotene that makes it a potent antioxidant. It works by protecting the cells from the oxidative damages caused by free radicals. It also has antibacterial property that reduces inflammation. It also has antifungal properties that fight infections caused by Candida albicans. It helps control blood sugar and blood cholesterol level. It also helps prevent arteriosclerosis.
