Glucoronolactone – glucose metabolite, glycogen formation & storage, Liver detoxification
Resveratrol – free radicals binder
Anti-oxidant and immunomodulating properties, cardiovascular protection, blood vessel
relaxing effects, inhibits abnormal platelet aggregation in blood clotting, it is
neuroprotective, it is protective of the joints as in inhibiting arthritic deposits, reduces
osteoporosis and increases bone formation
Natural caffeine – from coffee beans
EGCG Epigallocatechin 3 gallate
Cell protective properties in just about all the organs, tissues and systems in the body, the
medical research has pages and pages of its effects on the brain, neurological tissue,
cardiovascular health, connective tissue, joints and has demonstrated major benefits in
arthritic conditions.
A study from the University of Tokyo has shown that EGCG binds to CD4 cells, preventing
HIV from binding to and destroying the cell in the process.
Methylcobalamine – co enzyme form B12
It is the only form of Vit B12 that can break down Homocysteine crystals, Homocysteine is a
very dangerous chemical in blood vessel disease, and methyl B12 converts Homocysteine
into methionine which makes it water soluble for the kidneys to excrete
It also generates an increased supply of SAMe (S-adenosyl methionine), the body's most
important
methyl donor.
The benefits of methyl B12, are protection from neurotoxicity, in diabetics, and promotion of
nerve re generation.
A lack of methylcobalamine can lead to megaloblastic anaemia and sub acute combined
degeneration of the spinal cord; it is used to combat Homocysteine crystals forming in

Caffeine – some facts
• Most energy drinks - Quick and powerful stimulant and has health properties.
• Caffeine is considered most widely consumed psychoactive substance e and is
hidden in clandestine quantities of soda bottles, chocolate bars, coffees mugs, and
infamous energy drink cans.
• Legend says the caffeine craze all began when Kaldi, a North African herder, saw his
goats eat wild berries, which gave them energy that kept them up at night.
• In purist form it is a white powder that acts as a chemical chameleon inside the
brain, as another compound, known as adenosine.
• The adenosine molecule is responsible for signalling the body that it’s tired.
Adenosine and caffeine are almost identical-looking molecules, so the brain can’t
tell the difference and accepts the caffeine when available.
• Researchers found something more novel and profound.
• "There is substantial evidence that caffeine is protective against neurodegenerative
diseases like Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease," said David Elmenhorst, lead
author of the study and researcher for the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine.
"Several investigations show that moderate coffee consumption of three to five
cups per day at mid-life is linked to a reduced risk of dementia in late life."
• Researchers are currently exploring the idea that caffeine’s impersonation of
another receptor may be a way to protect people from neurodegenerative
diseases.


Deer antler velvet has been used in China for over
2,000 years as a medicinal treatment for numerous
minor conditions and ailments.
Deer antler also contains calcium, magnesium,
zinc, and a full spectrum of amino acids and antiinflammatory prostaglandins.
Improve mental alertness and memory, boost
immune system function, speed wound healing
and recovery, slow aging, balance iron levels,
improve libido in both sexes, and restore joint
health.
Soviet scientists in the 1980s tested the effects of
deer antler velvet on the performance of elite
Russian athletes, and the results were
astonishing. Deer antler velvet helped increase the
strength and muscle mass of Russian athletes,
and speed their recovery time from exercise.
The increases in strength helped the Russian
athletes shatter new strength records at the
Olympics and crush their American competitors.
Deer antler velvet is a natural source of
glucosamine, chondroitin, and collagen. The body
uses glucosamine to manufacture
glycosaminoglycans that are found in cartilage
tissue.

Yerba mate
Grown mostly in Brazil but found all over South America, known as the South American Holly tree,
and found in the rain forests, also grown commercially for use as a drink ‘Mate’ and added to energy
drinks as a more sustainable energy producer, in fact the leaves naturally contain 24 vitamins and
minerals, 15 amino acids (proteins), abundant antioxidants.
Yerba Mate has the “strength of coffee, the health benefits of tea, and the euphoria of
chocolate" all in one beverage. Of the six commonly used stimulants in the world: coffee, tea, kola
nut, cocoa and guarana, yerba mate triumphs as the most balanced, delivering both energy and
nutrition.
In fact, The Pasteur Institute and the Paris Scientific society in 1964 concluded "it is difficult to find a
plant in any area of the world equal to mate in nutritional value" and that yerba mate contains
"practically all of the vitamins necessary to sustain life."
Noni

Indian Mulberry, grown all over the Pacific islands
Anti-oxidant, boosts Immune system, Effective against Gout &Arthritis, anti-cancer, reduces
blood glucose, remedial herb for reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Scientific evidence has testified that consumption of noni juice helps in reducing the level of
glycosylated hemoglobin, serum triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the
body.
In addition to this, it works towards enhancing insulin sensitivity and stimulates the uptake
of glucose.
Scopoletin present in noni juice possess anti-bacterial, antimutagenic, anti-inflammatory,
antifungal and anti-histamine properties which significantly contribute in sustaining the
immune defense mechanism of the body.
Wound healing: The juice of Morinda citrifolia or noni is effectual in speeding up healing of
wounds
useful in curing various skin disorders including acne, burns, allergic skin reactions and hives
holistically.
Noni juice stimulates the release of digestive enzymes

Goji berries

Grown mainly in China, also known as wolfberries


Rich in nutrients, powerful anti-oxidant.
Some studies using goji berry juice found benefits that included a feeling of well
being and calmness, better athletic performance and quality of sleep, and weight
loss.
Maqui





purple berry grows wild Southern Chile
Maqui berries are very rich in anthocyanins, which are purple pigments with very high
antioxidant activity.
Potent anti-inflammatory activity, so they help to reduce the risk of a variety of degenerative
diseases that involve inflammation. These pigments also inhibit the growth of colon cancer
cells.
The antioxidant compounds in maqui berry help to prevent the oxidation of cholesterol in
the blood. Regular daily intake of maqui berries or the berry juice is a smart investment in
better cardiovascular health.
Interestingly, intake of maqui berries or their juice causes a significant increase of insulin in
the body. In fact, maqui appears to do this better than any other known plant. What does
this mean? Consuming maqui berries or their juice with or after meals can help to suppress
blood glucose, thereby evening out energy and preventing the formation of new fat cells. As
a result, maqui may prove to be a beneficial aid in weight control.

Maqui also demonstrates antibacterial activity, which suggests that it may aid in preventing
illness due to foodborne germs.

Even in an environment in which the market is literally flooded with so-called super fruits,
maqui stands head and shoulders above most of them in terms of benefits.

Acai
The acai berry is an inch-long, reddish-purple fruit. It comes from the acai palm tree, which is native
to Central and South America.
Some studies show that acai fruit pulp is even richer in antioxidants than cranberries, raspberries,
blackberries, strawberries, or blueberries.
Similar in properties to the Maqui berry
Raspberry ketones



Raspberry ketone is a chemical from red raspberries that is thought to help for weight loss.
Some research shows it increases metabolism
Hormone in the body called adiponectin – made and stored in fat cells, Raspberry ketones act as ‘Fat
burner’ releasing the adiponectin and helping with satiety

VALERIAN ROOT
• Calms Anxiety
Scientists have found that valerian root increases the amount of a
chemical called gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain.
GABA helps regulate nerve cells and calms anxiety.
• Lowers Blood Pressure
• Eases Menstrual Cramps
root can effectively calm the severe uterine muscle contractions
that cause the terrible pain many women experience during
menstruation
• Sleep
Why can valerian root help you sleep so well? Valerian
extract can cause sedation is by increasing your brain’s
GABA level. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, and in
large enough quantities it can cause a sedative effect.

Glycolysis – breakdown of glucose molecule,
if it exceeds the energy requirements i.e. too
much HGI carbs vs. energy expended
Resulting Acetyl Co enzyme units derived
from CHO are turned into F acids and
glycerol to cholesterol in first step Krebs
cycle
Acetyl Co A is a product of Pyruvic acid are
now in the mitochondria in excess, they get
exported out into the cell fluid as a CITRATE
The Citrate then gets worked on by an
enzyme called ATP Citrate lyase so it can
release the Acetyl Co A bound in it
These become lipids – fat
Citrate therefore stimulates the fatty acid
LIPID pathway by activating Acetyl Co A
HCA INHIBITS ATP citrate lyase enzyme, so
prevents Carbs (sugars)
turning into lipid (fat) molecules
