Bladderwrack refers to brown algae that are found on the northern Atlantic and the pacific coasts of United States. The bladderwrack stem is known as thallus and can be employed medicinally. The bladders are air filled pods and hence this algae floats. The bladderwrack is also called kelp. Bladderwrack thallus is useful in soothing inflamed and irritated tissues. This is also used historically as a laxative. It is also observed that people residing adjacent to seas or oceans have low rate of hypothyroidism owing to iodine rich food and seaweeds such as bladderwrack. Bladderwrack is also useful in countering obesity as it stimulated the thyroid gland. Seaweeds such as bladderwrack assist in losing weight. Three active constituents are alginic acid, iodine and fucoidan. Bladderwrack is safe and has potential problems in consuming such as thyroid dysfunction, heavy metal contamination and acne. As bladderwrack is another type of seaweed it has excessive iodine and consuming excessive iodine results in health problems.

Cellulose is the structural component of the primary cell wall of green plants, many forms of algae and the oomycetes. Cellulose is not digestible by humans and is often referred to as 'dietary fiber' or 'roughage', acting as a hydrophilic bulking agent for feces.

Clary Sage Powder is the extract in powdered form from plant known as Salvia Sclarea. It is used in many dietary supplements mostly for weight loss. Research shows that it increases levels of a cellular messenger called cyclic adenosine monophosphate (CAMP) by stimulating specific methyl donors (DMG and TMG) that activate cellular enzymes (adenyclase cyclate) which helps the body move fat out of the fat cells and use them for energy, thus increasing lipolysis (fat burning). It is also shown by research that Clary sage powder doesn’t interact with beta adrenal receptors thereby not stimulating the central nervous system or raising blood pressure levels as in the case of other similar supplements.

Magnesium is a mineral that may be found inside most of the cells in the body tissues and organs. It is important in the absorption of calcium and aids in the formation and development of bones and teeth. Magnesium deficient individuals have an increased risk of acquiring osteoporosis; they also have problematic menstrual cycle such as premenstrual syndrome, irregular cycle and dysmenorrhoea. Magnesium helps in maintaining the cardiovascular health and decreases the risk of heart problems. It also prevents gallstones from forming. Magnesium is useful in the treatment of high blood pressure. It is also helpful in treating erectile dysfunction and prostate problems.

Olive Leaf Extract, which contains the phytochemical oleuropein. Oleuropein breaks down to elenolic acid, which has an anti-bacterial effect and may interfere with the critical amino acid production that is essential for viruses.

Piperine, an extract that comes from the fruit of the black pepper plant “Piper Nigrum” and “Piper Longum,” sets the stage for the activities in the body that lead to digestion and intestinal absportion by increasing the metabolic process. It is a pungent substance that has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for treatment of various diseases and is commercially available. Piperine forms monochenic needles, is slightly soluble in water and even more so in alcohol, ether, or chloroform. It significantly enhances the body’s ability to absorb nutrients into the blood stream, and supports the body’s natural thermogenic activities. It inhibits human CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein, which are enzymes that are important for transport of xenobiotics and metabolites. Piperin has been found to stimulate skin pigmentation when exposed to UVB light. Caution should be used by those on other medications if taking this extract because of piperin’s effects on drug metabolism.

Tyrosine is a non essential amino acid derived from several sources, including soy, poultry, milk and cheese products, but can also be synthesized in the body from phenylalanine. There are twenty amino acids that are used in human cells to synthesize proteins, one of which is tyrosine. It is of vital importance to the carbon dioxide conversion into organic compounds conducted by plants, the photosynthesis. Tyrosine is also recognized as a precursor to hormones, but also alkaloids and pigments. It is furthermore viewed as a precursor to neurotransmitters; it increases the levels of plasma neurotransmitters, most prominently norepinephrine and dopamine. While under normal circumstances the effects of tyrosine are inconclusive, it has been observed as useful in stress situations and to reduce the effects of a cold, fatigue, sleep deprivation and any kind of prolonged labor.
