Caffeine is an alkaloid compound which is found especially in tea and coffee plants and is a stimulant of the central nervous system, and is used to reduce the feeling of tiredness and fatigue. Caffeine has been shown to enhance endurance performance by increasing the availability of free fatty acids for energy utilization, sparing muscle glycogen. This can be particularly advantageous during longer-duration aerobic activities, such as distance running or cycling. Found especially in tea, coffee, and cacao plants, caffeine has been consumed for its stimulating effects since ancient times. Historical records indicate that coffee was consumed in Arabian Peninsula regions as early as the 15th century.

Carnitine is a compound that plays a crucial role in energy metabolism, particularly in the transportation of fatty acids into the mitochondria (the energy-producing centers of cells) where they can be oxidized and used for energy. By increasing fatty acid oxidation, the body can rely more on stored fat for energy, leading to a decrease in body fat and reduced muscle damage. Found in red meats, dairy, and fish, carnitine has been an integral part of human diets throughout history.

Chromium is a trace mineral that plays a role in improving insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism, as well as reducing cravings for sweets and carbohydrates. Chromium also contributes to fat metabolism by influencing the actions of insulin and certain enzymes involved in lipid metabolism, impacting the body's ability to store and use fat as a fuel source. Broccoli, whole grains, and meats, integral to many traditional diets, are rich in chromium.

Green tea extract is derived from the leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant and contains various bioactive compounds, most notably catechins, which support metabolism and weight loss. These catechins boost thermogenesis, the body's process of producing heat and expending energy, resulting in an increase in the number of calories burned, even at rest. Higher thermogenesis can lead to greater calorie expenditure, contributing to weight loss over time. Green tea has been consumed for its health benefits in Asian cultures for thousands of years.
