Chromium Picolinate is another aid in weight loss but as also been proven to prevent acne, increase life span, mood enhancement and boosts energy.

PEA (Phenylethylamine) is a monoamine and alkaloid which functions as a trace amine, neurotransmitter or a neuromodulator. Phenylalanine, an amino acid, is the source from which phenethylamine, another name for PEA, is naturally biosynthesized through enzymatic decarboxylation. Compounds that are found in supplements in form of phenethylamines can be very diverse and include entactogens, anorectics, bronchodilators, hallucinogens, antidepressants and stimulants. Substituted phenethylamines are related to amphetamines, but also to dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, phenylalanine and tyrosine. PEA is used by body builders and sportspeople mainly because of the stimulative effects as a neuromodulator, raising alertness, mood, concentration and focus. The additional stimulation of AMPA receptors, which boosts release of acetylcholine through the glutamatergic system, is an additional bonus of this popular supplement ingredient.

Synephrine, a semi-selective sympathomimetic, is used to stimulate the adrenaline system. Also known as ‘zhi shi’, green orange or bitter orange; it is a chief, active constituent found in the fruit belonging to the plant, Citrus aurantium. Synephrine is not only similar to ephedra in its chemical composition but also serves the same benefits as caffeine or ephedrine. However, it mildly stimulates the fat metabolism without causing any of the side effects associated with ephedra based products. The best advantage of using Synephrine is that it increases the metabolic rate without affecting the hemodynamics. Thus, it is comparatively much safer than ephedra. Since Synephrine promotes weight loss and supports thermogenesis, Synephrine supplements are an ideal solution for dieters and weight watchers. The total intake should be between 2 to 10 mg. per day.

Vitamin B12, or rather the Vitamin B complex, is a group of vitamins that are all soluble in water and very often coexist in food sources. While every single Vitamin from the B complex group has a name, they are very often referred to by the number added to the Vitamin B group name, like Vitamin B1, which is thiamine, or Vitamin B2, which is riboflavin. Some other compounds have been added to the Vitamin B group at some time, but were later dropped, like adenine, orotic acid or adenosine monophosphate, where later research found that they are either synthesized by the human body or simply no Vitamins. Vitamin B complex supports the metabolism rate, maintains muscle tone and skin, raises functions of the nervous system and the immune system, promotes red blood cells and cell growth and division and much more.
