In Japan, a study has shown that Cordia Salicifolia Extract has strong inhibiting properties on the Herpes virus. Cordia ecalyculata, which is a synonym for Cordia salicifolia, is currently being marketed as a potent appetite suppressant, with missing research data equaling to a safe to use presumption. However, the heart tonic properties sound encouraging.

L-Huperzine A is extracted from a Chinese herb called Huperzia Serrata. L-Huperzine A inhibits the breakdown of Acetylcholinesterase that aids in raising the level of Acetylcholine, a memory neurotransmitter. It also helps in strengthening the brain’s NMDA receptors (N-methyl D-aspartate) that enhances the communication between the brain cells resulting to enhanced concentration, focus, learning and other brain functions. L-Huperzine A also stimulates the synthesis of nerve growth factor that is responsible for maintaining and promoting youthful and healthy brain function. L-Huperzine A quickly and potently boosts the memory, learning and the concentration functions of the brain for a short period of time.

Phenylethlamine HCL is a salt of phenylethylamine. It is a crystalline solid and is formed by treating phenylethylamine with HCl. Its IUPAC name is 2 phenylethylamine HCl. The scientific name elucidates its chemical structure. It is an aromatic compound meaning that it has a basic benzene ring. It further has a two carbon chain attached at position 2 of the ring and the chain terminates in an amino group. It occurs naturally in some foods like chocolates but the food item might get metabolized too quickly sometimes for it to have a significant effect on the body.
