Alpha -GPC (L-Alpha-Glycerylphosphorylcholine) :
Inhibits the production of the hormone somatostatin which interferes with the release of hGF. Research suggests that stimulating the body to produce hGF not only helps to increase lean body mass but Potassium Pyruvate
Acetyl L-Carnitine Hydrochloride:
Improves energy levels by burning fat as fuel. It helps regulate metabolism and reduce and normalize triglycerides in the blood.
Advantra Z ® (Citrus Aurantium) :
functions to burn fat, increase physical performance and build lean muscle more efficiently than any other weight loss/fitness agent known. Advantra Z is a patented, standardized herbal extract that, in clinical studies, exhibited a powerful thermogenic effect, acting to increase the resting metabolic rate (the rate which calories are burned). In fact, clinical research indicates that Advantra Z is more thermogenic than ephedra without the potentially negative central nervous system and cardiovascular side effects. The key to Advantra Z’s effectiveness is its ability to stimulate beta-3 cell receptors with minimal impact on alpha 1 & 2 and beta 1 & 2 receptors. This means that Advantra Z functions to increase the metabolic rate without effecting heart rate or blood pressure. And, unlike, Ma Huang (ephedra), the amines in Advantra Z do not readily cross the blood/brain barrier which can cause dangerous central nervous system and cardiovascular side effects.
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA):
In addition to functioning as an antioxidant, this hard-working nutrient assists the B vitamins in producing energy from the proteins, carbohydrates, and fats consumed through foods.

Ginseng:
Promotes energy, stamina, and endurance, and supports sexual function by stimulating the production of nitric oxide.
Glucosol ™ :
Glucosol is clinically proven helpful for weight loss. High or low glucose levels are often a factor in fat retention and obesity. Any time our body has excess blood glucose, it is shuttled to our fat cells. When fat cells receive too much glucose, they swell up with their lipid food stores, with resultant weight gain. Conversely, when our blood glucose is too low, we may experience food cravings, causing us to binge. This problem of blood glucose balance is one that millions of Americans experience – whether they are suffering from a condition like Type II Diabetes, or have weight management problems because they can’t avoid taking that 3 p.m. sugar snack. Glucosol is clinically proven to activate cell glucose – transporter “shuttles” and thus helps balance blood glucose levels. Glucose transport is one of the most important functions of all cells to acquire energy.
Glutamine Peptides:
Increase hGF levels and promotes muscle growth. It’s a powerful recovery agent with excellent absorption, and supplies critical building blocks for more muscle.
Glycine:
is one of the stimulatory agents inducing the pituitary gland to secrete hGF. It’s the simplest of the 20 different amino acids used as building blocks to make proteins for your body. It works in concert with glutamine, a substance that plays a major role hGF release and brain function.
Horny Goat Weed:
Horny Goat Weed stimulates sexual activity in both men and women, stimulates the sensory nerves, and increases sexual desire. Horny Goat Weed’s aphrodisiac effects has been verified in human research.
Green Tea Extract:
Green tea extract helps with thermogenesis and aids in the metabolism of fat. Known for years as a powerful antioxidant, it may also be helpful in shedding fat. The most obvious benefit to dieters is that it works without increasing the heart rate most often found in diet aids. The increased heart rate leaves dieters jittery and eventually, most dieters stop using the supplement and gain weight back. Now through using green tea extract, dieters get the weight loss benefits without any of the jittery effects, especially in obese individuals with hypertension and other cardiovascular complications.
Gugulipid ® :
Gugulipid ® is a standardized extract prepared from the oleogum resin (gum resin) of Commiphora mukul, an Indian medicinal tree that has been clinically proven to reduce the levels of harmful serum lipids in the bloodstream. The active ingredients responsible for the maintenance of healthy cholesterol levels are the guggulsterones, specifically guggulsterone E and guggulsterone Z.
