Caffeine- The bitter, white crystalline xanthine alkaloid caffeine is found in tea, coffee, soft drinks, chocolates, pain relievers, and a variety of over the counter medications. It is a psychoactive stimulant drug that causes increased alertness by stimulating the central nervous system. For the same reason, many people feel more energetic after consuming it. It even elevates the mood but these effects do not last for long. The effects of caffeine usually last for about five to six hours, though caffeine sensitivity varies from person to person. It has been found that people who consume lot of caffeine on a daily basis soon develop less sensitivity and may need to increase their intake to enjoy the same effect. Being a diuretic, a person consuming caffeine may have to urinate more often.

Cellulose is the structural component of the primary cell wall of green plants, many forms of algae and the oomycetes. Cellulose is not digestible by humans and is often referred to as 'dietary fiber' or 'roughage', acting as a hydrophilic bulking agent for feces.

Dextrin is a low-molecular-weight carbohydrate produced by the hydrolysis of starch. Dextrins find widespread use due to their non-toxicity and their low price. They are used as water-soluble glues, as thickening agents in food processing, and as binding agent in pharmaceuticals.

Dextrose is one of the most important sources of energy for the human body. Also known as glucose, it is the main sugar manufactured by the body. This fast acting carbohydrate spikes the level of insulin to a great extent and shuttles creatine molecules in place where it should be. Dextrose is also preferred for restoring the level of muscle glycogen. Moderately sweet, Dextrose occurs in food naturally. Usually found in a powdery form, you can mix it with protein to make a healthy shake. It will not only help you get the required insulin spike but also give your muscles the energy they lost during a strenuous exercise regime. When mixing with protein you can keep the ratio of 2:1. If your weight is anywhere between 75-80 kilograms, don’t consume more than 50 grams of dextrose

Di-Calcium Phosphate is mainly used as a dietary supplement in prepared breakfast cereals, dog treats, enriched flour and noodle products. It is also used as a tableting agent in some pharmaceutical preparations. It is used as a feed for poultry.

Lecithin is needed by every cell in the body and is a key building block of cell membranes; without it, they would harden. Lecithin protects cells from oxidation and largely comprises the protective sheaths surrounding the brain. It is composed mostly of B vitamins, phosphoric acid, choline, linoleic acid and inositol. Although it is a fatty substance, it is also a fat emulsifier.

Magnesium is a mineral that may be found inside most of the cells in the body tissues and organs. It is important in the absorption of calcium and aids in the formation and development of bones and teeth. Magnesium deficient individuals have an increased risk of acquiring osteoporosis; they also have problematic menstrual cycle such as premenstrual syndrome, irregular cycle and dysmenorrhoea. Magnesium helps in maintaining the cardiovascular health and decreases the risk of heart problems. It also prevents gallstones from forming. Magnesium is useful in the treatment of high blood pressure. It is also helpful in treating erectile dysfunction and prostate problems.

Magnesium Stearate is coommonly used as a filling agent in the manufacture of capsules and tablets, such as vitamins, the source of this ingredient is typically bovine. However, there is an increasing number of vegetarian options in which the product specifically indicates it contains magnesium stearate from vegetable sources.

Maltodextrin is a polysaccharide that is used as a food additive. It is produced from starch and is usually found as a creamy-white hygroscopic powder. Maltodextrin is easily digestible, being absorbed as rapidly as glucose. Maltodextrin is a fast digesting insulin spiking complex carb.

Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose, also known as cellulose gum, is a food additive that is is commonly used in dairy based foods and deserts. It may also be used as an bulking agent, emulsifier. stabilizer and/or a thickener.

Sodium Citrate is a salt associated with critic acid. It occurs naturally in a variety of foods, including many fruits. It is also an intermediate product of aerobic metabolism in the human body. When consumed in food or produced in the body, sodium citrate quickly degrades into sodium bicarbonate, which functions as an acid buffer. Some studies suggest that taking sodium citrate as a dietary supplement before high-intensity exercise delays fatigue by increasing the availability of sodium bicarbonate in the muscles.

Stearic Acid is a saturated fatty acid that occurs in many animal and vegetable fats and oils. Stearic acid is useful as an ingredient in making candles, soaps, plastics, oil pastels and cosmetics, and for softening rubber. Stearic acid is used to harden soaps, particularly those made with vegetable oil. Even though stearic acid is a saturated fat, studies have suggested that it has little effect on blood cholesterol levels, because such a high proportion is converted to oleic acid.

Synephrine is a drug that is deemed to selectively bind to and also activate alpha adrenergic receptors. Mainly used as a vasoconstrictor in asthma, glaucoma, circulatory failure and nasal congestion, this compound is currently propagated as a weight loss agent. The alleged function synephrine is providing include fat burning, energy level and metabolism increase and promotion of weight loss. Synephrine, also known as oxedrine, is the widely accepted replacement for ephedrine. The natural source of synephrine is the citrus aurantium fruit, better known as bitter orange. Bitter orange extracts, which contain synephrine, are known to stimulate the alpha-1 adrenergic receptor, thereby constricting blood vessels and increasing the heart rate as well as blood pressure, effecting in an increased energy use.
