Supplement ingredients, explained with evidence and product context
Each ingredient now has its own research page covering what it is, what human evidence can and cannot show, safety considerations, label questions, and every reviewed product connected to it.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Human research suggests, at most, modest short-term weight changes in some settings. A gummy cannot inherit those findings unless its preparation and acetic-acid dose are comparable.
Explore ingredient →BHB Salts
BHB salts can temporarily raise blood ketones, but this mechanism does not establish meaningful or sustained weight loss.
Explore ingredient →Marshmallow Root
Marshmallow root is traditionally used in soothing preparations, but evidence for weight loss, nerve relief, or a specific finished-product outcome is not established.
Explore ingredient →Licorice Root
Licorice preparations differ substantially. Glycyrrhizin-containing licorice can create clinically important safety concerns, especially with sustained or high intake.
Explore ingredient →Slippery Elm
Slippery elm is a mucilage-containing bark used in traditional digestive preparations, but strong evidence for weight-related claims or a specific branded blend is lacking.
Explore ingredient →Cascara Sagrada
Cascara sagrada has a history of stimulant-laxative use. It should not be interpreted as a fat-loss ingredient, and repeated use deserves medical guidance.
Explore ingredient →Bentonite Clay
Oral bentonite is marketed for digestive or “detox” uses, but claims depend on product purity and human evidence; adsorption in a laboratory is not proof of benefit in people.
Explore ingredient →Fennel Seed
Fennel is used as a food and in traditional digestive preparations. Culinary familiarity does not prove a concentrated supplement's effectiveness or safety.
Explore ingredient →Aloe Extract
Oral aloe products are not interchangeable. Aloe gel, whole-leaf extract, and aloe latex differ, and latex-related compounds can have strong laxative effects.
Explore ingredient →Cayenne Pepper
Cayenne contains capsaicinoids, but any average effect seen in ingredient research should not be treated as proof that an undisclosed amount causes meaningful weight loss.
Explore ingredient →Milk Thistle
Milk thistle is promoted mainly for liver-related uses. Current evidence does not establish it as a reliable stand-alone weight-loss ingredient.
Explore ingredient →Triphala
Triphala is an Ayurvedic combination traditionally made from three fruits. Formula identity, quality, dose, and human evidence all matter.
Explore ingredient →Senna
Senna is an established stimulant-laxative ingredient for short-term constipation relief; it is not a body-fat-loss treatment.
Explore ingredient →Green Tea Extract
Green tea products may have a small average effect on weight at most, while concentrated extracts introduce caffeine and liver-safety questions not present in ordinary brewed tea.
Explore ingredient →Berberine
Berberine has been studied for metabolic markers, but it is not equivalent to a prescription weight-loss medicine and can cause interactions.
Explore ingredient →Banaba Leaf
Banaba is promoted for blood-sugar support, but evidence is not sufficient to infer a finished product's effect, especially when extract and dose are unknown.
Explore ingredient →Cinnamon Bark
Cinnamon studies produce mixed metabolic findings, and species, extract, dose, and coumarin exposure can differ markedly.
Explore ingredient →Ginger Root
Ginger has better-established research for nausea than for weight loss. Product claims still require dose- and outcome-specific evidence.
Explore ingredient →Korean Ginseng
Asian ginseng is marketed for energy and metabolic support, but evidence varies by extract and does not establish meaningful weight loss from an unknown dose.
Explore ingredient →Resveratrol
Resveratrol is studied for cardiometabolic questions, but human findings do not establish it as a dependable stand-alone fat-loss ingredient.
Explore ingredient →Iodine
Iodine is required to make thyroid hormones, but taking extra iodine does not automatically increase metabolism or cause weight loss.
Explore ingredient →Vitamins B6, B9 and B12
B vitamins support normal physiological functions, but adding them to a supplement does not show that the product increases fat loss in people who are already adequately nourished.
Explore ingredient →Beet
Beet-derived ingredients vary from food powders to nitrate-standardized products. A tiny or unclear label amount cannot inherit findings from beetroot juice studies.
Explore ingredient →Pomegranate
Pomegranate contains polyphenols, but food research or juice studies do not establish weight loss from an undisclosed or very small supplement amount.
Explore ingredient →Magnesium Glycinate
Magnesium supports normal nerve and muscle function. Magnesium glycinate is a supplemental form, but a product's usefulness still depends on its elemental-magnesium dose, total intake, and the buyer's needs.
Explore ingredient →Alpha-Lipoic Acid
Alpha-lipoic acid has been studied for diabetic neuropathy, but reviews have reached mixed conclusions. Ingredient research does not establish the effect of an undisclosed amount in NervoLyn.
Explore ingredient →Butcher's Broom
Butcher's broom is traditionally used in products positioned around venous circulation and leg symptoms. That use does not establish relief of neuropathy or the effect of an undisclosed dose.
Explore ingredient →L-Carnitine
L-carnitine helps transport fatty acids into mitochondria for energy metabolism. This biological role does not by itself prove that a supplement improves nerve symptoms.
Explore ingredient →Turmeric Extract
Turmeric contains curcuminoids studied for several conditions, but evidence is not definitive for most uses and does not show that NervoLyn relieves neuropathy.
Explore ingredient →Coenzyme Q10
CoQ10 participates in cellular energy production, but that mechanism does not establish that an undisclosed amount improves neuropathy or validates NervoLyn as a finished formula.
Explore ingredient →Passionflower
Passionflower has limited human research for anxiety-related symptoms, but it has not been shown to treat sciatica, neuropathy, or nerve damage.
Explore ingredient →Corydalis
Corydalis contains biologically active alkaloids and is studied for pain-related uses, but current evidence does not establish that NervEase relieves sciatica or neuropathy.
Explore ingredient →Prickly Pear
Prickly pear is used as food and in supplements, but research does not establish that a concentrated extract treats nerve pain or validates NervEase.
Explore ingredient →California Poppy
California poppy is traditionally associated with calming use, but clinical evidence is limited and does not establish treatment of sciatica or neuropathy.
Explore ingredient →Maqui Berry
Maqui berry supplies anthocyanins, but human trials remain small and heterogeneous; ingredient research does not prove that Mitolyn causes weight loss.
Explore ingredient →Rhodiola
Rhodiola is promoted for stress, fatigue, mood, and performance, but NCCIH says there is not enough reliable evidence for any health-related purpose.
Explore ingredient →Haematococcus Astaxanthin
Haematococcus is a source of natural astaxanthin. Human studies examine antioxidant and other biomarkers, but they do not establish meaningful weight loss from Mitolyn.
Explore ingredient →Amla
Amla has been studied for cardiometabolic markers, but those findings do not prove that Mitolyn produces weight loss.
Explore ingredient →Theobroma Cacao
Cacao contains flavanols and methylxanthines, but cocoa research cannot substantiate weight-loss claims for an undisclosed amount in Mitolyn.
Explore ingredient →Schisandra
Schisandra is used in traditional East Asian herbal practice, but limited human evidence does not establish weight loss or validate Mitolyn.
Explore ingredient →Oregano Oil
Oregano oil has laboratory antifungal activity, but limited combination-product research cannot establish that oregano oil alone—or Nails Clean Pro—clears a fungal nail infection.
Explore ingredient →Biotin
Biotin is essential for normal metabolism, but NIH says there is little scientific evidence supporting biotin products for hair, skin, or nails in people without a deficiency.
Explore ingredient →Garlic Extract
Garlic has laboratory and traditional antimicrobial associations, but that does not prove that a topical garlic extract or Nails Clean Pro treats nail fungus.
Explore ingredient →Undecylenic Acid
Undecylenic acid is recognized in the U.S. OTC antifungal monograph at specified concentrations for specified skin-fungus claims, but that does not verify Nails Clean Pro's concentration or prove it treats nail fungus.
Explore ingredient →Vitamin C
Vitamin C is required for collagen formation and wound healing, but general nutrition biology does not prove that topical vitamin C clears nail fungus or changes Nails Clean Pro outcomes.
Explore ingredient →Vitamin E
Vitamin E can serve antioxidant or conditioning roles in topical formulas, but evidence from a small multi-ingredient nail oil cannot isolate vitamin E or validate Nails Clean Pro.
Explore ingredient →Tea Tree Oil
NCCIH says the amount and quality of research on tea tree oil for fungal nail infections are insufficient to reach conclusions.
Explore ingredient →Vitamin A (Beta-Carotene)
Beta-carotene can be converted to vitamin A, which is essential for normal vision, but adding it to a supplement does not prove better eyesight or treatment of eye disease.
Explore ingredient →Magnesium Oxide
Magnesium is essential, but magnesium oxide tends to be less bioavailable than several more soluble forms and has no established eye-specific benefit.
Explore ingredient →Zinc
Zinc is essential and appears in AREDS2 at a specific dose, but Visium Pro's 16 mg dose is not interchangeable with that studied formula.
Explore ingredient →Selenium
Selenium contributes to antioxidant enzymes and thyroid function, but its presence does not establish a vision benefit from Visium Pro.
Explore ingredient →Copper
Copper is essential and often paired with supplemental zinc, but Visium Pro should not be equated with AREDS2.
Explore ingredient →Chromium Picolinate
Chromium picolinate is marketed for metabolic support, but chromium's essentiality and clinical value remain uncertain and it has no established eye-specific role.
Explore ingredient →Lutein
Lutein is part of AREDS2 for certain people with AMD, but Visium Pro hides its lutein dose inside a proprietary blend.
Explore ingredient →Bilberry
NCCIH says bilberry has not been clearly shown helpful for any condition, and rigorous studies did not confirm night-vision benefits.
Explore ingredient →Eyebright
Eyebright has a history of traditional eye use, but robust human evidence for oral eye supplements is lacking.
Explore ingredient →Zeaxanthin
Zeaxanthin was studied with lutein in AREDS2, but Visium Pro does not reveal how much one capsule contains.
Explore ingredient →Quercetin
Quercetin has laboratory antioxidant activity, but that does not establish better vision from a supplement.
Explore ingredient →Rutin
Rutin is a plant flavonoid, but antioxidant language and laboratory research do not establish a meaningful vision benefit.
Explore ingredient →Taurine
Taurine is abundant in the retina and has promising preclinical rationale, but robust clinical supplementation studies for retinal disease are lacking.
Explore ingredient →Grape Seed Extract
Grape seed extract has limited research for some cardiovascular markers, but NCCIH says little is known about other conditions, including vision.
Explore ingredient →Lycopene
Lycopene is a carotenoid, but it is not part of the exact AREDS2 formula and does not establish a Visium Pro outcome.
