Maca root is rich in carbohydrates, protein, fiber and essential minerals (especially selenium, calcium, magnesium and iron). It also contains linolenic acid, palmitic acid, oleic acid, sterols and Polysaccharides. It helps as anti-fatigue by increasing energy level. It is an additive agent for mental and physical adaptation against stress. Furthermore, its effect is supported by many vitamins, minerals and herbal extracts.
MCT (Medium-chain triglycerides) is extracted from coconut oil. MCTs are burned by the body rapidly and thus, they do not cause having weight or they do not increase cholesterol level. Secondly, because they are burned rapidly, they increase energy level significantly. Because they have low calorie, they are different than other oils.

Energy levels of skeletal muscles decrease significantly during long term heavy workout periods. Recovery of the decreased ATP and increasing of energy level take 3-4 days. This period is not required if ribose supplement is done. Thus, sportsmen have heavier and longer workout periods. Therefore, muscle construction is accelerated in body-building. It decreases fatigue. Ribose may show supplementary effect on cardiovascular health.
Grape Seed is very rich in bioflavonoids. It contains catechin, epicatechin, galat and many monomeric phenolic compounds such as dimeric, trimeric and tetrameric procyanidine. It is a popular supplementary because catechin and procyanidine have benefits on health and it contains iron, potassium, magnesium, B vitamins. Grape seed contains 92–95% of OPC (Oligomeric Proanthocyanidin). The most important characteristic of grape seed is that it is a strong antioxidant. It is 20-fold stronger than vitamin C, which is most famous antioxidant, and 50-fold stronger than vitamin E. It neutralizes the hazardous effects caused by chemical reactions in the body or come from outside such as cigarette, alcohol, polluted air (free radicals) by means of its antioxidant characteristic. Antioxidants are also effective anti-aging tools. Diseases may be prevented and aging may be delayed by antioxidants. Hormonal balance may be protected.
