Hoodia is a cactus-type plant native to the Kalahari Desert in Africa. Medicinally, it is used as an appetite suppressant to aid in weight loss. Dietary supplements containing hoodia are often standardized for their P57 content, a component of hoodia extract, which is thought to be primarily responsible for its effects. Hoodia is also though to contain additional constituents, such as gordonoside F, which may also have an appetite-suppressant effect.

L-tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid produced within the body through the conversion of the essential amino acid, phenylalanine. It is often used as a dietary supplement to support cognitive function, enhance focus, and mitigate stress by serving as a precursor for neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine.

Licorice, also known as glycyrrhiza, is a plant native to parts of Europe, Asia, and the Mediterranean region. The root of the plant has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and is often consumed in the form of candy, tea, and supplements. Licorice has a number of purported health benefits, including the ability to soothe sore throats, reduce inflammation, and improve digestive problems. It may also have antiviral and antibacterial properties. Licorice naturally contains glycyrrhizin, or glycyrrhizic acid, which can have toxic effects if consumed in large amounts. However, licorice can be processed to remove glycyrrhizin, resulting in DGL (deglycyrrhizinated licorice). Many dietary supplements that contain deglycyrrhizinated licorice are often simply named 'DGL'.

Schisandra is a plant that is native to parts of Asia, and is known for its small, red berries. These berries are often dried and sold as a dietary supplement to be used as a natural remedy for a wide range of health conditions, including fatigue, anxiety, and respiratory problems. Some people also use schisandra to improve sleep quality and reduce the symptoms of menopause. It is considered an 'adaptogen', which is believed to help the body adapt to stress.

1,3-Dimethylamylamine (DMAA) is a synthetic compound that was once used in dietary supplements, primarily for its purported stimulant effects. It was marketed as a performance-enhancing and weight-loss aid due to its similarities to amphetamines. However, DMAA has been banned or restricted in several countries due to safety concerns, including reports of adverse effects such as increased blood pressure, heart rate, and potential links to serious health issues like strokes and heart attacks. As a result, DMAA is no longer commonly found in legal dietary supplements.
