PhosphatidylSerine
A supplement that has been shown to be useful in combating the deleterious effects of stress is phosphatidylserine. This phospholipid (any of a variety of phosphorous-containing fats) constitutes an essential part of the cellular membrane.Beginning in the 1990s, studies showed that phosphatidylserine can cut elevated cortisol levels induced by mental and physical stress. In one early study, 800 mg per day given to healthy men significantly blunted the rise in cortisol caused by physical stress.Another article reported that even small amounts of supplemental phosphatidylserine (50-75 mg administered intravenously) could reduce the amount of cortisol responding to the physical stressors. In that study, eight healthy men had their blood drawn before and after physical stress induced by riding a bicycle ergometer (a stationary bike). While all subjects showed increased cortisol levels, pretreatment with the 50- or 75-mg dose of phosphatidylserine significantly diminished the cortisol response to the physical stressor.Finally, a study published in 2004 examined phosphatidylserine's effects on endocrine and psychological responses to mental stress, using the Trier Social Stress Test described earlier. This double-blind study followed 40 men and 40 women, aged 20-45, for three weeks. The subjects were given either phosphatidylserine (either 400 or 600 mg daily) or a placebo before taking the Trier Social Stress Test. Phosphatidylserine was effective in blunting the cortisol response to stressors, with those taking 400 mg daily (but not, surprisingly, 600 mg) of phosphatidylserine showing a significantly decreased cortisol response. The authors concluded that phosphatidylserine helped dampen the effects of stress on the pituitary-adrenal axis and may have a role in managing stress-related disorders. Recommended dosage: 300-800 mg per day.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine
Mitochondrial Energy Optimizer provides antioxidant support to protect cells against free radical damage and glycation. In addition, Mitochondrial Energy Optimizer Enhanced contains nutrients to support mitochondrial energy production and cellular function and natural plant extracts to help maintain fluid balance and enhance mental energy.In addition to its metabolic role, L-carnitine and its esters such as acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) posses unique neuroprotective, neuromodulatory, and neurotrophic properties which may play an important role in counteracting various disease processes [Mol Aspects Med. 2004 Oct-Dec;25(5-6):533-49]. Acetyl-L-carnitine arginate dihydrochloride and acetyl-L-carnitine raise neurotransmitter levels in the brain cells and maintains them (neurons) in their normal size and shape.Acetyl-L-carnitine arginate dihydrochloride has been shown to stimulate regrowth of neurites in the brain. Neurites connect brain cells and allow them to communicate. Neurites function to provide the communication circuitry pathways between the nerve cells.Carnosine is a multifunctional dipeptide form made up of a chemical combination of the amino acids beta-alanine and L-histidine which is one of the few compounds shown to increase life span of human cells in culture. Carnosine has also been shown to interfere with glycation (cross-linking of proteins and sugars to form nonfunctioning structures). Glycation of lens alpha-crystallin occurs in vivo and may contribute to cataractogenesis. Antiglycation compounds such as carnosine may be preventive, but interestingly carnosine reversed lens opacity in a human trial. [Arch Biochem Biophys. 2004 Jul 1;427(1):110-5].

Quercetin is powerful antioxidant
The most important ingredient is Quercetin, a powerful antioxidant found in the skins of grapes, apples and vegetables that has known anti-inflammatory effects. Experts believe Quercetin helps extend your natural energy by inhibiting an enzyme called COMT. Additionally, FRS's patented formula of Quercetin and green tea extracts promote thermogenesis, which increases the metabolic rate and helps the body burn excess carbohydrates and fat.
