The invention provides a method of improving the preservation stability of glutathione in a solid composition containing glutathione and arginine. In particular, glutathione and arginine are made to be coexistent with an organic acid such as citric acid, tartaric acid, ascorbic acid, malic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid and the like. The amount of the organic acid to coexistent with glutathione and arginine is generally 0.1-2 parts by weight relative to 1 part by weight of arginine.

The invention describes one or more compositions for causing an increase in thermogenesis in mammals, comprising at least caffeine, hordenine and -phenylethylamine and optionally the addition of B vitamins. The caffeine is often provided from green coffee bean extracts and normally comprises from 0.0001 g to 0.30 g of caffeine from 0.00001 g to 0.1 g of hordenine from barley and from 0.00001 g to 1.0 g -phenylethylamine from cocoa beans. The present invention finally provides a method that may cause a simultaneous and synergistic increase in central nervous system activity assisted by the addition of vitamin B as well as thermogenesis in mammals prior to physical exercise, the method comprising providing a composition comprising a source of caffeine, hordenine and -phenylethylamine.
