Damiana is a shrub belonging to the family of Turneraceae. Even though it is a small shrub, it produces aromatic, small flowers. It is generally found in the regions of South America, Caribbean, Mexico and Central America. It is also a fruit bearing shrub. The flowers generally blossom in late summer on the damiana shrub. Then the fruits follow. The fruit it bears is quite similar in taste to figs. It emits a smell which is quite similar to the odor of chamomile. The oils present in the shrub are reason behind this odor. It is said to have aphrodisiac properties. Natives of south and Central America use the leaves to make tea. In Mexico, the tea made with damiana leaves is generally drunk with sugar so as to increase the love making ability.

Garcinia Cambogia is a small fruit that looks just like a small size pumpkin. An extract from its fruit and rind has been used to prepare various products mainly for weight loss. This herb, which is mainly found in India and some parts of Asia, is believed to suppress appetite and enhance fat-burning due to the presence of hydroxycitric acid (HCA) in the extract. This is how it works - HCA inhibits an enzyme called citrate lyase that plays an important part in converting excess carbohydrates into fat, but when it is inhibited, the body burns the extra carbs. While animal studies have suggested reduced food intake and decrease in body fat, human trials have not been so conclusive.

Glucomannan- Every time we switch on the television or turn the pages of a magazine, we run into hundreds of ads promoting a myriad of weight loss products. However, the only ones that really work are those that have sufficient scientific backing. One such product is the Glucomannan - a fiber, a water-soluble polysaccharide. It is derived from the corm, or roots of the Konjac plant found in Japan, Asia, China, and Indonesia. Although the product has gained immense popularity as an effective solution to obesity, Glucomannan offers other benefits too. It is highly effective for treating several health problems such as high cholesterol, acne, tye2 diabetes, and even constipation. An important reason why obese and overweight individuals include it in their weight loss program is that Glucomannan leaves them feeling so full that they end up eating fewer calories.

Glucosamine is derived from chitin found in shells of crabs, shrimp, and oysters. There is sufficient scientific evidence to prove that glucosamine sulfate is both safe and effective for treating mild to moderate osteoarthritis of the knee. Research also indicates analgesic and disease-modifying effects of glucosamine sulfate. However, this does not imply that side effects of glucosamine sulfate do not exist. Short term use of glucosamine sulfate may lead to minor side effects such as insomnia, headache, drowsiness, heartburn, constipation, vomiting, and diarrhea and in rare cases, increase in blood pressure and heart rate and palpitations. People with bleeding disorders should not take glucosamine supplements without consulting their physician. These supplements should also be avoided by those allergic to shellfish, which happens to be the primary source of glucosamine.

Guarana has in recent times received widespread popularity because of an energy drink. It is actually a climbing plant in the family related to maple and is native to the Amazon region, predominantly in Brazil. It is a flowering plant with big leaves, but the fruit is the most prominent component, not bigger than a coffee bean. Guarana fruit has about the double content of caffeine when compared to the coffee bean. Besides the cognitive and fatigue reducing effects of caffeine, guarana displays also other interesting properties, such as the assistance in a weight loss program; namely, guarana affects the perception of the satiation, making the person feel full sooner. Further antioxidant and antibacterial effects have been noted as well. In combination with linoleic acid, guarana has shown fat cell reduction effects in mice.
