Various studies have shown that Asian Ginseng, asparagus extract, Chinese Smilax, o L-phenylalanine, thiamin, and vitamin B12 can support weight management.

Deficiency in thiamin and vitamin B12 is associated with an increased likelihood of obesity.https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/8/12/768https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0271531716301634

A study involving 10371 participants (1123 diagnosed with chronic constipation) found that thiamin intake was linked to softened stools and an increase in colonic peristalsis. Taking these vitamins daily as part of your diet can help mitigate these issues.https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12876-024-03255-2

Study of six healthy males demonstrated that taking L-phenylalanine before exercise may stimulate whole-body fat oxidation.https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1186/s12970-017-0191-x#abstract

Another component, Asian Ginseng, may affect appetite, food digestion, and absorption, inhibit fat tissue formation, and prevent or reduce obesity in various experiments with cell cultures, animals and humans. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0955286316302534#s0085

Taken together, the various elements of these supplements, combined with a healthy lifestyle and diet, may have a positive effect on weight management. 

Components like Tribulus, Asian ginseng, Damiana, Ashwagandha, L-phenylalanine, and thiamin have been shown to help lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels. A study on 98 women with type II diabetes using Tribulus extract showed a significant reduction in blood sugar and cholesterol levels compared to the placebo group. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27255456/

Another analysis of 24 different studies on Ashwagandha found that treatment with Ashwagandha extract significantly reduces blood sugar, insulin, blood lipids, and oxidative stress markers.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31975514/

When blood sugar is stable, the body is less likely to store excess glucose as fat. Stable blood sugar levels can help to control hunger and reduce cravings for sugary or carbohydrate-heavy foods. https://journals.lww.com/md-journal/fulltext/2016/02090/putaminal_diffusivity_correlates_with_disease.21.aspx

Stress is normal reaction to everyday pressures, but it can become very unhealthy if experienced constantly. Studies shown that Ashwagandha helps reduce stress, anxiety, and fatigue. 

In a study involving 58 participants, Ashwagandha extract significantly reduced stress and cortisol (the stress hormone) levels compared to the placebo group. By lowering cortisol levels, ashwagandha supports adrenal gland health, which in turn promotes hormonal balance. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6979308/

Study involving 144 adults found that Ashwagandha extract can improve the overall sleep quality.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1389945720301246

Meta-analysis of five different studies demonstrated that Ashwagandha extract has significant effects on sleep outcomes and anxiety reduction. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0257843&utm_source=readdailytonic.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=everything-you-need-to-know-about-ashwagandha

Several extracts in these supplements can support hormonal balance by either regulating hormone production or influencing the body's response to hormones. 

Studies on Ashwagandha have shown increase in testosterone levels. In a study with 50 participants experiencing low sexual desire, results revealed that Ashwagandha can increase serum testosterone levels.https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/hsr2.741

Another study with 80 women without any hormonal disturbance and with hypoactive sexual desire disorder showed improved female sexual health (desire, arousal, orgasm, lubrication, and etc.).https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9701317/

Maca also supports fertility and hormonal balance in both men and women. Two different studies involving men demonstrated that Maca possesses fertility-enhancing properties. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9701317/https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/hsr2.741

A study involving 58 patients who used Asian Ginseng showed that Ginseng has probiotic effects, such as increasing microbiome richness, reducing harm to the gut microbiome, and increasing number of some beneficial strains in the gut microbiome. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1226845321000476#sec1
