The seven herbal extracts are grape seed, eleuthero, astragalus root, gymnema, coleus forskohlii, cayenne and Panax ginseng.
FDA lists blend names by weight, heaviest first, and requires no amount for each (21 CFR 101.36, Proprietary blends). So each name has only a ceiling.

What about astragalus root, grape seed and eleuthero?
Evidence for these three is the thinnest of the seven, and each has open questions.
Astragalus root
Clinical evidence is limited. Possible interactions include blood thinners, blood pressure medicine, diuretics and immune-suppressing medicine (MSK, Astragalus).
Grape seed extract
Most findings are lab studies, and human results are mixed. It may upset the stomach and may raise bleeding risk with warfarin (MSK, Grape seed).
