 * Replace "supplementations" with "supplements"
 * Revise the final sentence and split into two sentences. Too much information in one sentence for it to be clear.

Ingredients/ Supplements
There are different forms of taking this supplement. It can be consumed by tablets, capsules, liquids, powders, and bars.


 * Caffeine- is the most common type of ingredient/supplement. It has a neural effect that goes to the central nervous system and activates beta-endorphins and hormones that increase alertness, mental concentration, and energy. Caffeine can cause anxiety, insomnia, dizziness, and arrhythmia's.


 * DMAA- is a nor-epinephrine re-uptake inhibitor that increases lipolysis and blood concentration levels which provides energy, improves mental concentrations, improve perception, and decreases tiredness. The negative effects of DMAA is that it can diminish performance ability and can create a false positive results in amphetamines on some drug tests.


 * Creatine- is a natural chemical that is produced in the kidney and liver and stored in the skeletal muscle cells. Creatine is an energy source that can act alone as a supplement and draws water to muscle cells creating muscle hypertrophy. The creation of muscle trophy is because when it is stored in the muscle cells it is phosphorylated and produces phosphocreatine(PCr). There are four forms of creatine: Creatine mono-hydrate, creatine phosphate, creatine citrane, and creatine esters.


 * Beta-Alanine- is produced from the liver and enhances the ability to buffer protons and slows down fatigue when muscles are in severe contractions. When exercising it increases performance, power out put, and aerobic and anaerobic endurance.


 * Taurine- is very common in energy drinks which also can be used as a supplement taken alone. It is similar to creatine by having muscle hypertrophy that increases strength, endurance, reduced muscle damage, and helps with a faster recovery.

The Food and Drug Administration imply on talking to a health care professional before using any type of dietary supplements.
