Algal oil is oil that is extracted from algae. The oil can be extracted from a variety of algae species, using a variety of methods, such as cold press extraction and solvent extraction. Algal oil is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA, which have been linked to a number of health benefits, including reduced inflammation and improved heart health. Algal oil dietary supplements are often marketed as a vegetarian source of omega-3 fatty acids (i.e., 'fish oil').

Beeswax, produced by bees to construct honeycombs, starts out white but changes to yellow or brown when mixed with pollen oils. It is used orally for hyperlipidemia, peptic ulcers, diarrhea, hiccups, and pain, and topically for anal fissures, burns, diaper rash, hemorrhoids, oral mucositis, radiation dermatitis, and fungal skin infections. In the food industry, white beeswax and beeswax absolute serve as stiffening agents, while in manufacturing, they act as thickeners, emulsifiers, and stiffening agents in cosmetics, and as fragrance ingredients in soaps and perfumes. The composition of beeswax varies among bee families and breeds. Some studies suggest that very-long-chain fatty alcohols from beeswax may lower cholesterol and affect LDL metabolism. Mixtures of honey, beeswax, and olive oil may inhibit bacteria growth, and beeswax with NSAIDs may protect against NSAID-induced ulcers.

Cranberries are a type of small, tart berry native to North America. They are a rich source of antioxidants, which are substances that help to protect cells from damage caused by harmful substances called free radicals. They are also a good source of vitamin C, fiber, and other nutrients. Cranberry dietary supplements contain concentrated cranberry extract or powdered cranberry fruit. They are often used to prevent or treat urinary tract infections (UTIs), as cranberries are thought to have certain compounds that may help to prevent bacteria from attaching to the urinary tract.

Resveratrol is a natural compound found in certain plants, including grapes, berries, and peanuts. It has been the subject of numerous scientific studies due to its potential health benefits. Some research suggests that resveratrol may have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cardioprotective effects. It may also have potential as a cancer-fighting agent and may help to improve glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity.

Green tea is a type of tea that is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. It is native to Asia and is widely consumed throughout the world. Green tea has a mild, slightly grassy flavor and is typically lighter in color and less astringent than black tea. Green tea is a rich source of antioxidants, particularly a group of compounds called catechins. These antioxidants are thought to help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Green tea is also a good source of other nutrients, including vitamin C and several B vitamins. Green tea is often consumed for a number of purported health benefits including reducing the risk of heart disease, immune-stimulating effects, and weight loss. Oral green tea supplements, containing dried powder, are most often utilized for the caffeine content and used as an appetite suppressant for weight loss.
