Indian Nettle:
What is this ?
The Indian Nettle (Coleus forskohlii) is part of the Lamiaceae family, it is native to India or East Africa. It produces diterpenes, including forskolin which is mainly found in its roots (Alasbahi and Melzig 2010). This plant has been used for several centuries in traditional Indian medicine (Ayurveda medicine).
What is it for?
Forskokine is the activator of an enzyme (adenylate cyclase) which plays a key role in the use and breakdown of lipids (lipolysis of adipocytes) for heat production (thermogenesis). This phenomenon thus promotes weight loss (fat burner) while preserving muscle tissue .
Forskokine would also have a role as an antidepressant and dilator of vessels ( vasodilator ).

Garnicia Cambogia:
What is this ?
Garcinia Cambogia or Malabar Tamarind, is a small tree of the Clusiaceae family which grows in tropical Asia, Africa and India. The peel of its fruit contains an active ingredient, hydroxycitric acid .
What is it for?
Hydroxycitric acid would play a role in increasing the synthesis of serotonin (neurotransmitter), which would lead to a faster feeling of satiety .
In addition, hydroxycitric acid inhibits the action of an enzyme (citrate lyase) which would prevent the synthesis of lipids (lipogenesis) and lead to greater degradation of carbohydrates for energy synthesis .

Caffeine:
What is this ?
Caffeine, or 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine, belongs to the methylxanthine family. It is naturally present in more than sixty plants, such as coffee, tea, kola nut, guarana and mate.
Caffeine is quickly and completely absorbed by the digestive tract after ingestion. It is metabolized by cytochrome P450.
Once metabolized, caffeine is transformed into three different molecules:
Paraxanthine (1,7-dimethylxanthine, 84% of the initial compound), theobromine (3,7-dimethylxanthine, 12%) and theophylline (1,3-dimethylxanthine, 4%). Each of these three metabolites is then metabolized and then excreted in the urine (Miners and Birkett 1996). The half-life of caffeine is 5.7 h (Statland and Demas 1980).
What is it for?
The main action of caffeine is to inhibit the functioning of adenosine by blocking its receptors (antagonist) in the brain. In fact, caffeine has a structure close to that of adenosine, which allows it to prevent its attachment to its receptor (competitive inhibitor). This inhibition thus leads to an increase in nervous activity thanks to an increase in the release of dopamine and adrenaline .
Paraxanthin causes an increase in the breakdown of lipids (lipolysis) to be used as a source of energy in the muscles, resulting in a fat-burning effect .
Theobromine allows blood vessels to dilate ( vasodilation ), which allows better blood flow during training in the muscles and brain and also increases urinary volume (diuresis).
Theophylline causes relaxation of the smooth muscles of the bronchi, which allows better breathing (used in the treatment of asthma).

Raspberry Ketone:
What is this ?
“Raspberry ketone” (4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)butan-2-one) is one of the main aromatic compounds of the raspberry fruit (Rubus idaeus L., Rosaceae), generally 1 to 4 mg per kilo of fruit (Beekwilder et al. 2007). Raspberry ketone is quickly absorbed orally. It is largely excreted in the urine (90% in 24 h), mainly in the sulfo- or glucuronide form (Bredsdorff et al. 2015).
What is it for?
Raspberry ketone has a structure close to capsaisin (chili pepper), known to reduce hunger and increase energy expenditure . Raspberry ketone may play a role in the breakdown of lipids (lipolysis).

Green coffee:
What is this ?
Green coffee is the fruit of the coffee tree, a shrub native to Ethiopia and growing on the highlands of tropical areas which is part of the Rubiaceae family. Green coffee is not roasted , which allows it to retain all its virtues. Indeed, when it is roasted it loses two essential components, cafestol and kahweol . Green coffee also contains chlorogenic acid as an active ingredient.
What is it for?
Chlorogenic acid has a protective effect on cells against unstable molecules in the body (antioxidant) because it slows down the oxidation of lipids . In addition, chlorogenic acid has an effect on blood sugar levels because it delays the intestinal absorption of glucose and therefore its passage into the bloodstream.
Green coffee will also increase endurance and reduce fatigue , it provides better brain activity and leads to better elimination of waste via the liver and digestive system thanks to cafestol and kahweol. Finally, it promotes the breakdown of sugars and the elimination of fatty acids .

Cayenne pepper :
What is this ?
Cayenne peppers belong to the family of flowering plants (Solanaceae) and are closely related to peppers. They are native to Central and South America. The active ingredient in cayenne pepper is capsaicin .
What is it for?
Capsaicin causes an increase in metabolism by stimulating heat production (thermogenesis), this is known as diet-induced thermogenesis. It also helps reduce the feeling of hunger by reducing the production of the hunger hormone (ghrelin) and facilitating digestion .
Finally, cayenne pepper could also reduce high blood pressure .

Black pepper :
What is this ?
Black pepper comes from the berries of the pepper tree, a tropical vine from the Piperaceae family. It originates from India and has been used for several centuries in traditional Indian medicine (Ayurveda medicine). The active ingredient in pepper is piperine .
What is it for?
Piperine promotes the intestinal assimilation of certain vitamins, minerals and plant elements (phytoelements). It also has an antidepressant effect , by increasing the level of serotonin, a neurotransmitter which plays a role in well-being and a dilation effect on blood vessels ( vasodilation ). Piperine also supports liver and biliary functions .
Finally, piperine intervenes by promoting the production of heat (thermogenesis) thanks to the degradation of fatty acids , it therefore has a role as a fat burner .

Green tea :
What is this ?
Green tea is a tea whose natural oxidation is stopped quickly after picking. This process maximizes the concentration of catechins , active ingredients which have a very important role in the properties of green tea.
What is it for?
Green tea contains molecules that play a role in protecting cells against unstable molecules in the body (antioxidant), such as tannins (polyphenols), a catechin called epigallocatechin and vitamin C. Green tea is considered to be the food constituent with the strongest antioxidant power .
Green tea also contains theanine, an amino acid analog of glutamine, which acts on the brain by reducing stress and providing a relaxing effect . Epigallocatechin would activate heat production (thermogenesis), therefore green tea also promotes weight loss (fat burner) particularly in the abdomen.
Finally, green tea promotes renal elimination of water , which allows the elimination of toxins.

The main active ingredient in dandelion is taraxine which is responsible for its draining effect .
What is it for?
The main function of dandelion lies in its draining role by promoting urinary elimination (diuretic effect) thanks to taraxin, this diuretic effect thus makes it possible to promote the elimination of water in cases of water retention, edema or cellulite.
Dandelion also has an effect on weight loss by promoting digestion through an increase in biliary and liver functions. In addition, dandelion helps treat constipation problems thanks to its plant fibers (fructans) with laxative powers .
