Berberine is a natural yellow dye found in the roots, stems, and bark of various plants, including barberry, goldenseal, and goldthread. This compound has been used for centuries in traditional plant remedies in Asia and the Middle East. In supplements, berberine is often extracted from the Berberis aristata plant, also known as Indian barberry.

Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) is also called 'true cinnamon' and comes from Sri Lanka. It has a subtle, sweet flavor and naturally contains lower levels of coumarin than cassia cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia), which is more common in supermarket products. In supplements, Ceylon cinnamon is often chosen for its milder composition and traditional use.

Gymnema (Gymnema sylvestre) is a tropical climbing plant native to India and Sri Lanka. The leaves are traditionally used in Ayurvedic dietary teachings. The plant is known for its unique properties in combination with other herbs, such as fenugreek and cinnamon.

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is a herbaceous plant whose seeds are mainly used. These seeds have a slightly bitter, nutty flavor and are widely used in Indian cuisine and in herbal supplements. Fenugreek is one of the oldest known spices and originates from the Mediterranean region and Western Asia.
