enhancers
Things that improve
Enhancers are things that intensify, improve, or heighten something else.
A flavor enhancer makes food taste better; a performance enhancer boosts athletic ability.
In genetics, an enhancer is a DNA sequence that increases gene expression.
The word often appears in compound forms: mood enhancers, image enhancers, signal enhancers.
