Alpha Lipoic Acid is a naturally occurring anti-oxidant that can be found naturally in meats and vegatables such as spinach. Its primary function is liver support and is integral in producing glutathione. Glutathione is an important liver enzyme that dissolves toxic substances that the liver filters out. In its antioxidant role, Alpha-Lipoic acid binds to free radicals and prevents them from destroying or damaging cells. Alpha-Lipoic acid helps vitamins C and E work more efficiently and in supplement form is included because it helps encourage liver detoxification. People with diabetes or hyperglycaemia benefit from Alpha-Lipoic acid as well as those with high cholesterol or hardening of the arteries.

Hoodia Gordonii, which although popular, has no published randomized controlled trials in humans to show hoodia is safe or effective in pill form. One study published in the September 2004 issue of Brain Research found that injections of p57 (The Active ingredient in Raw, Fresh Cut Hoodia, not dried) into the appetite center of rat brains resulted in altered levels of ATP, an energy molecule that may affect hunger. The animals receiving the P57 injections also ate less than rats that received placebo injections. However, this was an animal study and INJECTIONS IN THE BRAIN are very different from oral consumption, so it cannot be used to show that oral hoodia can suppress appetite in humans. Hoodia Gordonii is a succulent (a cactus of the aloe family) found in the Kalahari desert of South Africa. Most Hoodia Gordonii products contain very little, if any of the active ingredient needed to suppress hunger. Real Hoodia is very rare and is even an endangered plant. Most importantly, Hoodia has only demonstrated any effect in fresh, raw pieces of the plant. The effectiveness of powdered Hoodia has yet to be shown and may actually increase hunger. It's main use is as a cheap alternative to the more expensive weight loss herbs, which are the only alternative left after the banning of ephedra. Most supplement manufacturers can not use the more expensive weight loss herbs because it will result in a product that would be too expensive to compete with other more popular inexpensive diet supplements.

Taurine is an organic acid which is one of the primary ingredients of bile, found in the lower intestine as well as in small amounts in the tissues. Taurine is an important element as it is required for fat digestion through the emulsification of dietary fats. It is also needed for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins as well as the control of cholesterol serum levels. Taurine is also needed for the proper use of sodium, calcium and potassium in the body. Cell membrane integrity is also maintained with the help of taurine. Apart from these, research has shown that taurine can be very helpful in managing anxiety, hyperactivity, reduced brain functioning etc. Studies have also revealed that along with zinc, taurine is essential for proper vision.
