Ashwagandha roots are used to promote physical and mental health, defend against disease and adverse environmental factors, and reduce the aging process. It has also been used as a mood stabilizer. This plant works for women’s health by alleviating anxiety and mild depression related with hormone levels. (found in Diablo Relax strips) |
Also known as Zhi-Shi, Citrus Aranthium is derived from the whole unripe fruit of the mandarin orange. Used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years, it contains generous amounts of vitamin C and has been used as a stimulant for nerves that control blood circulation. It has the ability to bind to B-3 receptors, which causes an increase in the rate fat is released and the resting metabolic rate. (found in Diablo Energy drink) |
Not only does cranberry extract offer a refreshing taste, it is an excellent source of vitamin C and is packed full of antioxidants. Studies have shown that the particular flavonoids produced by the cranberry have a strong antibacterial effect. Cranberry extract acidifies the urine, preventing microorganisms from adhering to the cells that line the bladder wall. It also promotes cleansing of the urinary tract to help prevent and even eliminate infections. (found in Diablo Energy drink, Diablo Energy strips) |
GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) is concentrated in the hypothalamus region of the brain and is known to play a role in the overall functioning of the pituitary gland, which regulates growth hormone synthesis, sleep cycles, and body temperature. In combination with inositol and nicotinamide, it helps to block anxiety and stress related impulses from reaching the motor centers of the brain. It can be used to calm, much like a tranquilizer, but without the possibility of addiction. (found in Diablo Relax strips) |
An old Japanese and Korean herb, Ginseng is a favorite for sustaining energy. For women, it acts as an anti-stress agent to promote overall health for proper female and sexual functions. This herb is adaptogenic, so it helps to regulate hormones. Panax Ginseng has been part of Chinese medicine for over 2000 years to improve general energy and vitality, particularly during times of fatigue or stress. Ginseng is an aphrodisiac, painkiller and general stimulant. Other reported uses of ginseng include normalizing blood sugar, stimulating immune function, and treating male impotence. Biologically, ginseng has been shown to allow cells to more readily use stored sugar, enabling red blood cells to carry more oxygen. (found in Diablo Energy drink and Diablo Energy strips) |
Glutamic acid is important in the metabolism of sugars and fats. It helps with the transportation of potassium across the blood-brain barrier, although it does not pass this barrier easily itself. It also shows promise in the future treatment of neurological conditions, ulcers, hypoglycemic coma, muscular dystrophy, epilepsy and Parkinson's disease. Glutamic acid can also be used as fuel for the brain, to detoxify the body of ammonia and to supply hydrochloric acid to the digestive system. What’s more, it increases the firing of neurons in the nervous system, metabolizes sugars and fats, and helps correct personality disorders, including autism. (found in Diablo Relax strips) |
Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid and is found in large amounts in the muscles of the body, and since it easily pass through the blood-brain barrier, it is also known as a superb brain fuel, and some people refer to it as a “smart-vitamin” (although it is in actual fact no vitamin at all). |
Guaranine, an alkaloid extracted from guarana, possesses the same beneficial effects as caffeine. It acts as a general stimulant and physical performance enhancer, as well as a weight-loss aid. It can also stimulate the central nervous system, increase metabolic rate, produce euphoria and stimulation, and reduce nervous headaches or menstrual distress. Guarana has also shown some ability to inhibit blood platelet aggregation. (found in Diablo Energy drink and Diablo Energy strips) |
Low serotonin levels create anxiety, depression and insomnia and age and stress can be aiding factors in its decline. As one of the ten main brain neurotransmitters, Griffonia helps to increase serotonin levels. It plays many functions, but notably, intervenes in the sleep pattern, pain and mood control. Its action also produces an increased feeling of pleasure, a decrease in stress symptoms, as well as relieving the central nervous system. (found in Diablo Relax strips) |
Kudzu has particular releasing and alleviating properties. It allows relaxation without causing drowsiness, and helps induce sleep among insomniacs. In Japan, it is recognized for its muscular relaxing property and, in China, it is use for pectoris angina (chest pain or discomfort due to coronary heart disease). It also has an effect on the immune system because of its anti-infectious virtues. (found in Diablo Detox strips) |
Because maca contains so many nutrients such as potassium and calcium, it increases energy and decreases the likelihood of anaemia. Sterols found in maca stimulate hormone-producing glands such as the hypothalamus, pituitary and adrenal glands, thus increasing energy and libido. It contains a great amount of minerals, trace elements and vitamins. In Peru, it is used to treat weak and sick people. This herb works very well with guaranine, and it amplifies its effect on dopamine (as a stimulant and for concentration). (found in Diablo Detox strips) |
Milk Thistle is the perfect liver protector. It is use to increase the secretion of bile and to improve its flow between the liver and gallbladder. Its traditional use as a liver tonic is supported by a vast amount of research that indicates it contains silymarin, a unique constituent that helps protect liver cells from chemical damage. Silymarin is known to protect the liver by altering and strengthening the structure of the outer cell membranes of hepatocytes (liver cells), preventing toxins from entering and accumulating within the liver. Silymarin’s most valuable property is its ability to stimulate the natural regenerative processes of the liver, promoting the formation of new hepatocytes by activating the enzyme nucleolar polymerase. Milk Thistle helps to minimize the effects of over indulging in alcohol. (found in Diablo Detox strips) |
Suma is used to restore nerve and glandular functions, to balance the endocrine system, and to strengthen the immune system. It is an authentic adaptogenic herb, and as such, exerts a normalizing influence on your body and can help regulate and enhance endocrine, nervous, digestive, cardiovascular and immune systems. It also reduces the negative effects of cortisol, the principal hormone responsible for coronary diseases and the damaging effects of stress. (found in Diablo Relax strips) |
This fresh bark contains salicin, which transforms into salicylic acid in the human body, producing similar effects to those of aspirin. Willow bark is a proven painkiller, but without many of the side effects that can accompany aspirin. The bark takes longer to take effect, but lasts longer than standard aspirin products. Other known uses for willow bark include treatment of fever, colds, infections, chromic rheumatic disorders, headaches, and pain caused by inflammation. (found in Diablo Energy drink) |
One of the most important characteristics of vitamin C is its antioxidant properties. Vitamin C performs over 300 metabolic functions in the body, including tissue growth and repair, and adrenal gland function. (found in Diablo Energy drink) |
Consuming too much caffeine can cause agitation, anxiety, sleeplessness, loss of concentration, increased irritability, tremor, elevated heart rate and blood pressure and dehydration (it is a diuretic). If you smoke, caffeine magnifies the effects of smoking on the heart and circulatory system. Many major organ systems are adversely affected by high amounts of caffeine consumption, including the heart, stomach, respiratory, and reproductive organs. Although caffeine is a common substance found in many foods, beverages, and other supplements, it is clearly a drug and can be extremely harmful to the human body. Caffeine consumption should clearly be monitored and limited.
Taurine is an amino acid that is naturally found in the human body. It is also found in plants, fungi, and some bacterial species, but in far less abundance. Small polypeptides have been identified as containing taurine, but to date there has been no report of a transfer RNA that is specifically charged with taurine. The low pKa (1.5) of taurine's sulfonic acid group ensures that this moiety is negatively charged in the pH ranges normally found in the intestinal tract and thus improves the surfactant properties of the cholic acid conjugate. Taurine has been implicated in a wide array of other physiological phenomena including inhibitory neurotransmission, long-term potentiation in the striatum/hippocampus, membrane stabilization, feedback inhibition of neutrophil/macrophage respiratory bursts, adipose tissue regulation, and calcium homeostasis. The evidence for these claims, when compared against that reported for taurine's role in bile acid synthesis and osmoregulation, is relatively poor.
Glucuronolactone is a natural metabolite and carbohydrate that forms when glucose breaks down. It is believed to help rid the body of harmful substances and provide a big energy boost in a short period of time. It is a naturally occurring chemical compound produced by the metabolization of glucose in the human liver. Glucuronolactone has been shown to improve memory retention and concentration and act as an antidepressant and stimulant. It is present in some energy drinks and is purported to fight fatigue and provide a sense of well-being.
Coined in the 1990's by Dr. Stephen DeFelice, then modified by Health Canada, a nutraceuticals is defined as a product isolated or purified from foods, and generally sold in medicinal forms not usually associated with food and demonstrated to have a physiological benefit or provide protection against chronic disease.
Oxford Dictionary defines stress as "a state of affair involving demand on physical or mental energy", somewhat a condition or circumstance (not always adverse), which can disturb the normal physical and mental health of an individual. In medical jargon, "stress" is defined as a perturbation of the body's homeostasis. In a challenging situation, the brain prepares the body for defensive action response by releasing stress hormones, cortisone and adrenaline. Both hormones produce a raise of blood pressure (the body prepares to react to the situation). When we fail to counter a stress situation, the hormones and chemicals remain unreleased in the bloodstream for a long period of time. It results in stress-related physical symptoms such as tense muscles, unfocused anxiety, dizziness and fast heartbeats.

Detox, short for detoxification, in general is the removal of toxic substances from the body. It is one of the major functions of the liver, lower gastrointestinal tract and kidneys. A class of diets whose underlying assumption is that the body accumulates toxins that must be purged, especially after unhealthy periods such as, over-eating during festivals. Toxins, in this case, refer to toxic substances - often of undefined nature - from foods, the environment and the bodies own wastes.
Literally 'under the tongue', from Latin, refers to a pharmacological route of administration in which substances are entered directly into the bloodstream via absorption under the tongue. The principle behind sublingual administration is fairly simple. When a substance comes in contact with the mucous membrane, it diffuses into area beneath the tongue which contains a high density of blood vessels, and as a result, substance quickly enters the bloodstream, which returns to the heart and then travels to the systemic arterial circulation. In contrast, substances that are swallowed have to pass through the digestive system and the liver before they are distributed to the rest of the body.
