Inositol is classified as a member of the vitamin B complex, though it is not considered a vitamin itself. Inositol helps establish healthy cell membranes, which facilitate nerve impulses, also known to be of benefit in reducing blood cholesterol levels.DMAE
DMAE - Dimethylaminoethanol - is an antioxidant and a precursor of the neurotransmitter Acetycholine and is responsible for feelings of well-being it helps to stabilize cell membranes protecting them from free-radical damage.Malic Acid
Malic Acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid found in apples, cranberries grapes and other fruits; it is easily absorbed and completely metabolized for energy. Malic Acid has an oxygen sparing effect and there are a number of indications that it allows the body to produce ATP even under low oxygen (hypoxic) conditions. It is a biochemical product of the Kreb's Cycle, a chain of reactions involved in the production of cellular energy. The body synthesizes Malic Acid during the process of converting carbohydrates to energy. It also helps remove high levels of phosphorous and aluminum from the body.Caffeine
Caffeine is a central nervous system and metabolic stimulant, having the effect on warding off drowsiness and restoring alertness. It stimulates the central nervous system first, resulting in increased alertness and wakefulness, faster and clearer flow of thought, increased focus, better general body coordination and has also shown to improve breathing. It facilitates rapid absorption of nutrients, including B-vitamins, bringing faster results.Enzymes
Enzymes are proteins that catalyze (i.e. accelerate) chemical reactions. They work by lowering the activation energy for a reaction, thus dramatically accelerating the rate of the reaction. Most enzyme reaction rates are millions of times faster than those of uncatalyzed reactions. By their actions they aid in the rapid breakdown and absorption of proteins, carbohydrates and fats for faster and greater effectiveness.Chondroitin
Chondroitin occurs naturally in the body. It is a major component of cartilage. It helps to keep tissue healthy by absorbing fluid (particularly water) into the connective tissue.Glucosamine
Glucosamine is important for healthy skin. Adequate amounts of it in the blood are necessary for the production of hyaluronic acid, one of the substances essential to heal skin injuries. Therefore, glucosamine plays a major role in the healing of skin wounds.Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is a major component of the connective tissue matrix in the dermis the inner layer of skin beneath the epidermis. This matrix is made up of hyaluronic acid as well as two connective fibers, collagen and elastin. Hyaluronic acid retains water like a sponge, absorbing more than 1,000 times its weight. This helps to attract and maintain water within the extracellular space, hydrating your skin and increasing its volume and density. Hyaluronic acid is also involved with the transport of essential nutrients to the skin's viable cells. Hyaluronic acid provides volume, helping to contribute to the skin's overall appearance.MSM
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), is an organic form of sulfur readily absorbed and utilized by our bodies. It is found in the body's tissues and fluids, and helps to maintain collagen, by bonding it together, thus aiding in the formation of flexible bonds between cells which is important for cellular tissues in improving skin smoothness and elasticity. MSM helps replenish and repair damaged skin and supports wound healing.Glucuronolactone
Glucuronolactone is a carbohydrate, which is produced by the metabolization of glucose in the liver and it is involved in the detoxification process, supporting the elimination of waste substances and promotes sense of well being. It can be found in different foodstuffs such as grain, and red wine.
