Hesperidin
A flavonoid (a class of polyphenols) glycoside. Hesperidin is a compound frequently ingested in the form of citrus fruits/juices. Hesperidin has antioxidant, anti-diabetic/lipid-modulating and anti-inflammatory effects. Interestingly enough, it also enhances bone-mineral density in animal experiments. Hesperidin may also inhibit the activity of drug metabolizing enzymes and enhance drug bioavailability. Hesperitin is the aglycone...
Guanidinopropionic Acid
A creatine analog. GPA has been shown to increase insulin sensitivity and glucose clearance in animal experiments. It’s often added to creatine transport formulas for this reason…despite the fact that it also inhibits creatine uptake and – in higher amounts – depletes creatine phosphate in muscle cells (which is why other GPA analogs have been investigated as anti-diabetic/anti-obesity...
Griffonia simplicifolia
A West African medicinal plant. The seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia are used as a source of 5-HTP in commercial supplements.
Hordenine
A biogenic amine found in a number of plants, including barley and several species of cacti.

Hordenine (or “peyocactin” – as it was known) has antibiotic activity and was shown to inhibit the activity of penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus...
Inula racemosa
A medicinal plant indigenous to the Himalayas. “Puskaramula” is used in Ayurvedic medicine, both internally (for asthma and pleuresy) and topically (to treat skin diseases and promote wound healing).
