Beta-Alanine is an amino acid and occurs naturally as beta amino acid. The dietary source for beta alanine is obtainable by ingesting sources containing dipeptides and this is obtainable in protein rich foods namely pork, chicken, fish and beef. By ingesting such dipeptide only beta alanine is received in plenty. However, besides the dietary source, bodies can as well synthesize the beta alanine in the liver. Beta alanine increases the muscle mass, muscular strength as well as the anaerobic endurance. Alpha alanine is commonly found in meat, plants, eggs, chicken and dairy products, but the beta alanine is not available so conveniently. Beta alanine is also called sometimes as three aminopropionic acid. Beta alanine helps in promoting the high concentrations of intramuscular carnosine and does not support the protein synthesis as well as enzyme production. Beta alanine sustains optimum output in muscle power and in promoting the body weight. It also promotes high energy levels.

Betaine HCL, or betaine hydrochloride, is not an essential nutrient, but it helps in absorption of proteins, vitamin B12, iron and calcium and helps in the digestive tract with the protein and fat breaking up abilities. It is a supplemental source of hydrochloric acid, with a low pH level. Besides the obvious use against indigestion and heartburn, other uses have been proclaimed for betaine HCL, such as lowering the homocysteine level, helping with thyroid conditions and others. With progressing age, hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes may decrease, with a poor digestion as a result. With betaine HCL, when taken at the beginning of a meal, proper digestion can be accomplished. Betaine HCL is most commonly provided with the addition of pepsin, a digestive enzyme.

Creatine Alpha-Ketoglutarate is also known as Creatine AKG. It is formed by combining ordinary creatine molecule with an alpha-ketoglutarate molecule. Creatine bound to the AKG molecule is preferred over regular creatine because AKG is a Krebs cycle intermediate which means that it can easily enter muscle cells, bringing with it more creatine directly into targeted cells. Higher creatine concentrations in muscles provide greater strength and stamina during workouts. Since creatine-AKG uses AKG as a transporter, the problem of transporter downgrade is also eliminated. Bodybuilders and athletes use creatine primarily for increasing stamina but some research also associates higher creatine levels with increased muscle gains.

Creatine Ethyl Ester is a supplement commonly used by bodybuilders to improve their overall athletic performance. The creatine helps to cut fat and turn it into lean muscle. Creatine Ethyl Ester has a variety of benefits including gain in muscular mass and strength, increased endurance, reduced time for recovery and an overall reduction of water retention in the body. This means that the weight of the body will consist mainly of the muscular build up than retained water. Creatine Ethyl Ester is known to help in lowering water retention in the cells causing the body to lose a lot of water, ultimately leading to dehydration. It has been well recommended that any person using this supplement should drink a lot of fluids throughout the day.

Di-Creatine Orotate is the combination of ordinary creatine with Orotic Acid. It is used as a performance enhancement supplement by athletes and body builders to increase muscle gains, muscle strength and stamina. It is believed to offer greater ATP formation and absorption. Di-Creatine oratate increases ATP formation by providing phosphoribosylpyrophosphate, Uridine Monophosphate and by elevation of intracellular glycogen stores, all of these contribute to ATP formation. In experiment on rats it induced increase of very-low-density-lipoproteins, VLDL (fats) in the rats, however Manufacturers claim that the supplement is completely safe for human as the increase in VLDL (fats) is very low.

Glycerol Monostearate also referred to as GMS. It is that fat that is formed when glycerol is esterified with stearic acid. It occurs in the body naturally as a by-product of fats and it can also be found in certain fatty foods. Glycerol Monostearate increases the endurance by retaining water in the body. They glycerol helps lower the body temperature and delay fatigue while increasing the performance. It also helps in reducing the acidity that forms in the muscle. It also improves the absorption of other supplements by helping in the delivery the nutrients in the system. It is also ideal, in losing weight because it enhances the metabolism.

Glycocyamine is a compound that is produced when aminocetic acid binds with arginine but is naturally occuring in the human body through the liver. Commercially, glycocyamine is being marketed as a body supplement due to its ability to increase the production of creatine. Most consumers of glycocyamine products are athletes and gym buffs as a creatine substitute. This is because glycocyamine improves muscle mass. On the other hand, it is not recommended for people with epileptic conditions and should be taken only at dosages prescribed. Other names for glycocyamine are guanidinoacetate and guanidine-acetic acid.

R-Alpha Lipoic Acid is the only antioxidant that is soluble in both fat and water, which means it can access all parts of the cell. This gives it the ability to trap free radicals. It is one of the few substances that can cross the blood/brain barrier to enter the brain and go directly where it is needed most. Alpha Lipoic Acid supplementation causes increased levels of glutathione, which assists the body in disposing of toxins. This is vital because glutathione protects the brain from free radical damage. Decreased glutathione levels in the brain are liked with brain disorders like stroke, dementia, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. It also speeds up removal of glucose from the blood. Recent studies suggest that R-Alpha Lipoic Acid boosts antioxidant defenses in HIV-positive people.
