- It is being used today for ailments such as gall bladder trouble, diabetes, Muscular
- Dystrophy, Glaucoma, senility and memory problems (forgetfulness)
- Choline detoxifies amines that are the by-products of protein metabolism.
Inositol:
- Deficiency of Inositol can lead to hair loss
- It works with Vitamin E.
- It is used in nerve and muscle disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis and Cerebral Palsy. Caffeine may cause depletion of Inositol.
Methionine:
- It works with Choline to detoxify amines which are the by-products of protein metabolism.

L-Carnitine:
L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid which plays a vital role in the metabolism of fat. It functions as a transporter of fatty acids into the mitochondria, the metabolic furnace of the cell.
Carnitine boosts energy by stimulating the body's burning of tryglycerides as fuel.
FAT + OXYGEN + L-CARNITINE = ENERGY
Adenosine:
Adenosine or ATP is the facilitator that makes sure the chemical energy that has been stored within our cells can better be processed out for metabolism.
