Oats are rich in a gum called beta-glucan and are a good source of B-vitamins. Sea buckthorn is a good source of vitamins A, E and K. Ginseng and eleuthero, formally called Siberian ginseng, stimulate metabolism and promote energy release. Glycine is a non-essential amino acid used to synthesize proteins.
