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.

L-Taurine , a semi-essential amino acid found in the heart muscle, central nervous system, white blood cells, and skeletal muscle, may not be as popular as other types of aminos such as glutamine, but is extremely crucial. It is also vital for metabolism. While taurine is made in adults’ bodies, newborns cannot make it. If the body fails to produce it in sufficient quantities, it is possible to correct this deficiency by using L-Taurine supplements. You are likely to get enough taurine if you are a meat eater since it is found in abundance in eggs, meats, fish proteins, and dairy products. Generally, vegetarians and women of all ages are at a greater risk of developing a L-Taurine deficiency. It is possible to treat depression, low sperm count, low sperm motility, high blood pressure, and cirrhosis using this supplement.

Potassium Gluconate is a dietary supplement available over the counter and also is a prescribed medication. Potassium gluconate replenished the body owing to the supply of potassium that gets depleted due to certain medications or illness. Potassium gluconate is available in tablet and liquid forms. It is the medicine that is frequently prescribed in the United States. Potassium is the main electrolyte of the human body that carries positive electrical charges through cells and blood. It has a vital role in balancing water content, maintaining blood pressure, regulating heart beat and also in aiding the impulses of nerve cells. Potassium gluconate gets depleted due to poor diet, excessive sweating, chronic illness and diarrhea. The decrease in potassium is indicated by symptoms such as fatigue, depression, muscle weakness, high blood pressure or irregular heartbeat. This can as well result in issues with central nervous system and death. Potassium gluconate can exhibit serious side effects such as throat or chest pain, stomach pain and may demand medical attention. Hence, consulting the physician before taking is suggested.

Sodium Chloride, or table salt, is the most basic yet most important mineral compound for the body. It is composed of the two ions, Na+ and Cl-, majorly needed by the body for proper functioning. One gram (or 1000 mg) of table salt is composed of 400 mg of sodium and the remaining is chloride ion. Sodium is the major cation in the extracellular fluid responsible for maintaining fluid and acid-base balance. It also plays a part in the irritability and excitability of nerves throughout the body. About 5 grams of sodium is sufficient for daily nutrient requirements. Sodium deficiency may happen with continued vomiting and diarrhea as well as with excessive sweating during hot days or work outs. This may result to hypovolemia that could bring about vascular collapse, dehydration and muscular cramps. Excess in sodium is unlikely to happen in healthy individuals because there are means of the body to regulate its serum levels. On the other hand, Chlorine, is the major anion in the extracellular fluid. It always functions in combination with sodium in maintaining fluid, electrolyte and acid-base balance in the body. It is also a component in the gastric acid that activates pepsinogen into pepsin for protein digestion. Excess in chloride is very rare but deficiencies may happen with excessive vomiting and/or diarrhea. In such occurrence, alkolosis may occur and this may require medical attention. Chlorine is considered adequate in the human body as long as sodium and potassium levels are also in normal levels. In cases with continued and/or excessive vomiting, diarrhea, perspiration or any other fluid loss, drinking plain water would not address the electrolyte losses of the body. Sports drink like Gatorade™ or other electrolyte drink would replenish the lost fluid and electrolytes.
