Acesulfame Potassium is typically used as an artificial sweetener in many different products from drinks and foods to every day products such as toothpaste. Because it is so much sweeter than natural sugar, less of the product needs to be used. In fact, it is approximately 200 times as sweet as sugar. Acesulfame Potassium contains no calories so is beneficial as a dietary supplement when caloric reduction is desired. It is safe for use with no adverse effects. It is made by transforming acetoacetic acid with potassium. This combination creates a sweetener that is stable and can be used as a sugar substitute.

Calcium is a mineral that plays an important role in the development of the human body. It is common knowledge that calcium is important in preventing osteoporosis. However, calcium also provides structural support in the development of muscles. Deficiency in calcium could cause obesity because it triggers the release of parathyroid hormone that stimulates the production of fats in the body and inhibits its breakdown. It also reduces the blood pressure. Calcium also has the ability to fight colon cancer by binding itself with cancer cells to inhibit its growth and progression. It is also beneficial to women suffering from PMS or premenstrual syndrome such as depression, mood swings, anxiety, water retention, breast tenderness, and headaches.

Iron is vital in human nutrition as the adult human body contains 3-4 grams of iron. Haem-iron and non-haem iron are the two types of iron. Foods rich in haem-iron include meat, liver, fish, and poultry. Foods that are high in non-haem iron are those of vegetable origin, like green leafy vegetables, cereals, legumes, oilseeds, nuts, dry fruits and jiggery. Iron is vital for numerous body functions, including hemoglobin formation, brain development and function, muscle activity, regulation of body temperature and catecholamine. Deficiency of iron affects immune system, reduces the number of T-cells and production of antibodies. Iron is also necessary for binding oxygen to body cells as its main function is oxygen transport and cell respiration. It works as an anti-cancer agent. Iron increases energy level of the body, improving physical performance. It prevents insomnia.

Potassium- Potassium is one of the essential minerals required for proper physiological functioning of the body. It plays an important role in the regulation of heart muscles. It helps to convert glucose to glycogen. Glycogen is essential for muscle formation. Potassium also helps to propagate nerve impulses by exchanging ion within cells and also helps in muscle contractions. It helps in balancing blood pressure. It controls the proper functioning of kidney. An average adult needs 3-5 gm of potassium daily. Due to deficiency of potassium, body observes tiredness. Other deficiency symptoms are weakness of muscles, low blood pressure, vomiting, poor kidney functions and Heart arrhythmias. Severe potassium shortages quickly direct to electrolyte disproportion which involves malfunctioning of nerves, kidney and heart.

Prohydroxy or Prohydroxy® is a trademark registered for a supplement manufacturer who specializes in producing liquid enzymes especially for nutritional and digestive usage. Prohydroxy products are said to bear or consist of protease (I, II, III), peptizyme SP, Lactase and Amylase based in malto dextrin. Their products are mainly used by diabetes patients as a form of dietary supplement but some other medications and dietary supplements for general usage are incorporating Prohydroxy to improve their consumer’s digestion and protein isolation. The name Prohydroxy is derived by the company from a form or type of enzyme which is the main ingredient of their products.

Sodium is the element that has the atomic number 11 in the periodic table and is commonly known as the main component in the table salt, together with chloride. Interestingly enough, it is probably the one dietary component which does require limitation rather than supplementation, since that average daily nutritional requirement is around half a gram per day. This most popular food seasoning, salt, is providing the most common source of sodium and chloride in human diets, but is generally overused and may cause health problems, such as high blood pressure, if consumed overly generously. The suggested dose of table salt, or rather the upper limit portion, would be somewhat less than 6 gram per day, according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, referenced by FDA. In the UK this limit is set at four grams per day.

Sucralose is an artificial sweetener that is about six hundred times sweeter than sucrose or table sugar, twice as sweet as saccharin, and thrice as sweet as aspartame. It is commonly used as sugar substitute because it contains zero-calories. It also helps prevent dental problems because sucralose does not cause cavities and tooth decay. It is not recognized by the body as a sugar or carbohydrate, thus, the body does not metabolize Sucralose. It does not affect the blood sugar level, carbohydrate metabolism and insulin production which are particularly important for those with diabetes. It also helps people who are trying to lose weight and are controlling their calorie intake because Sucralose allows them to enjoy some sweets guilt-free.

Vitamin A- Otherwise known as retinol is the vitamin which helps the eyes to adjust to changes in light levels as well as keeping the eyes, skin and mucous membranes moist. Vitamin A enters the human diet mostly from animal foods, but as well as this some plant foods contain beta-carotene, which the body is then able to convert into Vitamin A. Retinol has antioxidant properties that help the body to repair tissue and cellular damage by neutralizing free radicals. Although there seems to be some evidence that retinol may help in cases of established artery disease the American Heart Association does not recommend it as a necessary supplement until there is more evidence.

Vitamin C is an obvious essential nutrient and a deficiency of this will cause scurvy. It is also an antioxidant and acts as an electron donor for eight different enzymes.

Whey Protein Isolate is a pure high quality protein made from cow's milk. It is a naturally complete protein containing all of the essential amino acids required by the body daily. It is a rich source of branched chain amino acids which metabolize directly into muscle tissue and are the first ones used during periods of exercise and resistance training. It is an excellent source of Lucien which plays a key role in promoting muscle growth. Whey protein also helps stabilize blood glucose levels by slowing the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream.
