Guarana seed extractA natural source of caffeine from a Brazilian plantWorks like caffeine: alertness and a small rise in calorie burn
African mango extractSeed extract of Irvingia gabonensisA few small studies; the NIH considers the evidence too limited to draw conclusions
Astragalus rootA traditional herb used in Chinese medicineLittle research on weight or energy in people
Eleuthero rootAlso called Siberian ginseng, used as an "adaptogen"Mixed, limited evidence for fatigue
Grape seed extractA source of plant antioxidants (proanthocyanidins)Studied for circulation; not a weight-loss ingredient

The caffeine question

Because the caffeine amount is not listed, count LeafTide as a caffeinated drink. The FDA says up to about 400 mg of caffeine a day is generally not linked to negative effects in healthy adults, but people differ a lot. Avoid stacking it with energy drinks or pre-workouts, and take it in the morning so it does not disturb your sleep. See How to avoid the afternoon energy crash.
