Caffeine is a xanthine alkaloid that has a psychoactive stimulant effect. It may be found in many plant species but the main source of caffeine is coffee or cocoa bean. It is a potent stimulant that causes the heart rate to increase, muscles to tighten up, and the pupils to dilate. It activates the adrenaline that gives a boost of energy. It also reduces the symptoms of asthma. It helps open up the airways for ease of breathing. It increases the metabolism and breaks down fats. It also helps increase muscle strength. It also prevents chronic fatigue syndrome. Caffeine helps ease headache. It also reduces the risk of diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, and colon cancer.

Cocao Extract are the extracts from the dried seeds of a plant called Theobroma cacao. These seeds are primarily used in making chocolate but research has confirmed many health benefits of cocoa consumption. The extracts from raw cocoa are shown to have beneficial cardiovascular effects because they contain high level of flavonoids, specifically epicatechin. High flavanoid intake is also associated with increase in circulating nitric oxide, which in turn enhances flow-mediated vasodilation and augmented microcirculation. Some research also suggests that cocoa extracts may lower blood pressure levels and LDL cholesterol levels, however, all these health benefits are only associated with extracts from raw cocoa since cooking degrades flavanoid present in cocoa.

Epimedium, also popularly known as horny goat weed is a genus of herbaceous perennials belonging to the family Berberidaceae. The plant is found to possess aphrodisiac properties. Legend has it that a Chinese goat herder observed and reported increased sexual activity in his heard after it consumed the plant, hence the name. Its active ingredient is icariin. This ingredient has been reported to have a number of effects on the body. It inhibits the degradation of cyclic guanosine mono phosphate cGMP by PDE5 in the blood vessels supplying the corpus cavernosum of the penis. cGMP is the activated form of GMP produced by the release of nitric oxide in the vessels and relaxes the smooth muscle tissue resulting in the improvement in blood flow and erection. It also acts to increase mental faculties.

Grape seed is the seeds of the ordinary grapes. They are used primarily because they have polyphenols recognized as anti oxidants. Research confirms numerous health benefits of grape seed extracts; they limit lipid oxidation, thus controlling high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels. Grape seeds contain phenolics, which are useful in treatment of heart disease because they inhibit platelet aggregation and reduce inflammation, however, the results are preliminary and more research is being done to confirm these facts. A polyphenol contained in grape seeds is resveratrol which may inhibit cancer cell growth and proliferation, and it may also be active against HIV by inhibiting expression and replication of the genome of the virus.

L-Arginine is an amino acid that helps the body get rid of ammonia and is used to make compounds such as creatine, l-proline and l-glutamine which is then converted into glucose as the body needs it.

Naringenin is a flavanoid found naturally in grape fruit. Its chemical formula is C15H12O5 and Mol. Mass is 272.257 g/mol. Research shows that it has significant health benefits; it functions as an antioxidant, scavenges free radicals, promotes carbohydrate metabolism and improves immune system function. Studies also show that Naringenin reduces oxidative DNA damage in vitro and has inhibitory effect on cytochrome P450 isoform CYP1A2 which can change pharmacokinetics in a human host of several popular drugs in an adverse manner. It is also shown to be effective in treatment of hepatitis C and to lower the cholesterol concentrations by suppressing HMG-CoA reductase and ACAT in rats that are given a high-cholesterol diet.

Theobromine, which is a mild diuretic and mild stimulant. Theobromine can be found in cocoa and chocolate products. Theobromine is most commonly used for its diuretic effect.
