I copied this from the Altovis website:
Altovis Proprietary Blend:
Green tea leaf extract (provides 100 mg caffeine) cordyceps extract (mycelium), Eleutherococcus senticosus/Panax ginseng standardized extracts (root), vinpocetine (from vocanga tree seeds), and octacosanolIf I'm not mistaken, Panax ginseng is the same as Siberian Ginseng. The good thing about Siberian Ginseng is that it generally does give energy after a month or so of use. Dr. Weil (a reputable physician who writes about herbs) recomends Panax Ginseng, but he cautions that it can cause jitteriness which may not go away with prolonged usage. He says that American Ginseng does not cause jitteriness, but it doesn't give as much energy.
I'm not very familiar with the other ingredients.
