Gotu kola is often referred to as "brain food,” because it enhances memory and energy, and stimulates the pituitary gland. Gotu kola has been proven an effective treatment for numerous mental disorders, as well as for reducing high blood pressure and high serum cholesterol levels. Recent research confirms gotu kola acts as a blood purifier, diuretic, and antispasmodic, helping to relieve muscle cramps. Numerous studies show gotu kola enhances circulation to the lower limbs. Gotu kola has been found to stimulate the immune system, reduce fever and inflammation, and speed the healing of wounds.

Ginger contains a volatile oil and other compounds which act as digestive stimulants to encourage the production of digestive fluids and saliva. Ginger neutralizes acids and toxins in the digestive tract which reduces gas and pain in the bowel. Ginger has been shown to reduce inflammation by acting as a prostaglandin inhibitor, in much the same way as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) work. Studies show ginger relaxes muscle spasms and relieves pain and inflammation associated with rheumatic conditions. Studies have found ginger produces a strong stimulating effect on muscular contractions of the heart, validating ginger’s use for improving overall circulation.

L-glutamine is a non-essential amino acid and one of 2 principle "fuels” which nourishes the brain.
