Lycopene is a phytochemical which belongs to a class of substances called carotenoids. From the point of view of structure, it is a tetraprene, and because it contains only carbon and hydrogen it is also classed as a carotene. It is bright red in color and is found naturally in red fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, watermelons and red carrots. Lycopene is water insoluble and is transported in the body bound to lipoproteins. Preliminary research has indicated its efficacy against certain cancers. It is a strong antioxidant and acts as a singlet oxygen quencher. Singlet oxygen forms in the body due to ultraviolet light exposure and is involved in aging and cardiovascular disease. Other proposed benefits could be in conditions, such as diabetes, osteoporosis and male infertility.

Milk Thistle is an antioxidant more powerful than vitamins. It prevents formation of free radicals which damage the cells.

N-Acetyl L-Cysteine or "NAC" is derived from simple amino acid cysteine and is of great medicinal value. N-acetyl-cysteine has the ability to neutralize cell and DNA damaging free radicals and therefore plays an important role in slowing down the process of aging. As such, it protects us from a wide range of modern toxins including paraquat (a toxic herbicide), acrolein (present in cigarette smoke and auto exhaust), halothane (an anesthetic), adriamycin (both anticancer drugs) and hazardous side effects of cyclophosphamide. Apart from this toxin protection, it also facilitates in converting and synthesizing glutathione, an amino acid that is found in every cell. This amino acid comprises of glycine, L-glutamic acid, and L-cysteine, out of which glycine and L-glutamic acid are present in large quantities in our diets. Despite this, our bodies can produce glutathione only in limited quantities due to limited availability of cysteine. N-acetyl-cysteine supplements thus help the body increase production of glutathione.

Niacin is a vitamin that wards against pellagra, a disease characterized by a vitamin B3 deficiency. Niacin is made from pyridine and is often called vitamin B3 or nicotinamide, because they all three have similar formulas.
