Fructose (also called levulose) is a carbohydrate classified as a monosaccharide. Technically it is a ketohexose. This term tells us a lot about its structure. It contains six carbon atoms forming its carbon backbone (a characteristic of carbohydrates) and the second carbon atom is doubly bonded to an oxygen atom. It is a naturally occurring ketose sugar present in the free monosaccharide form or as a component of the disaccharide sucrose in combination with glucose. It is found in fruits, honey, melons, berries, etc. Its advantageous effects are quite few, like having a low glycemic index. Its consumption is not advised because excess of it is converted to fats and it also hinders the release of appetite inhibiting substances at the right time.

Kre-Alkalyn is a nutritional supplement with many benefits. It helps decrease water retention, alleviating the problem of creatine bloat. It also helps the process of absorbing more creatine in the body, which leads to eradicating the process of ‘loading’ required during consumption of the regular creatine monohydrate. It expedites the process of building muscle mass without the need to take harmful substances like steroids and hormones. It enables one get a significant increase in muscle in only two to three weeks. It also improves performance, enhances the intensity of workouts, heightens energy levels and speeds up recovery. It assists in building muscle while decreasing the body fat.

L-Carnitine , a naturally occurring non-essential amino acid which boosts its own production when combined with Vitamin C. L-carnitine transports fatty acids like triglycerides into the mitochondria and converts it into energy. Its antioxidant properties are believed to affect the heart muscles positively. L-cartinine deficiency is a rare case. However, fatigue, muscle-cramps and pre-mature aging are some of its deficiency signs. L-carnitine is highly found in dairy products and red meat. In foods like legumes, nuts, grains, fresh fruits, vegetables and cereals although the level of L-caritine is not high, it promotes production. L-carnitine is not known to cause any toxic effect, but an overdose of carnitine i.e. 1000mg daily can cause diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea and vomiting. Research prove that adding L-carnitine to our daily diet increases metabolism promotes weight loss and maintains a healthy level of blood glucose.

L-Glutamine- Found in plasma and muscles of the human body, L-Glutamine is an essential amino acid. In the skeletal muscle cells, more than 60% of free floating amino acid is made of L-Glutamine. It acts as the primary donor of nitrogen and moves in the body wherever required. This amino acid has been considered useful in reducing physical stress. During surgery or heavy exercise regime the human body needs it for maintaining the level of glutamine in muscles and blood. It is also essential for maintenance of immune system and prevention of intestinal stress. Glutamine supplements can help in restoring L-Glutamine levels during stress. L-Glutamine supplements are relatively less expensive and help in minimizing the breakdown of muscles. It also improves the metabolism of protein in the human body and ensures a positive balance of nitrogen.

Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) is a fatty acid essential for a variety of metabolic development. MCT, which stands for medium chain triglycerides, is used for curing patients suffering from mal-absorption syndromes or malnutrition. MCT are short in length does not need bile salts for digestion and the energy for utilization, storage and absorption. They are water-soluble and get absorbed quickly by the bloodstream and easily transported into the liver. Palm kernel oils and coconut oil are rich in MCT. Since only a tiny percent of it gets transformed into body fat, it aids weight loss provided the diet one consumes contains half the calories from MCT. Fatty acids present in MCT are known as medium chain fatty acids, some of them are capric acid, caproic acid, caprylic acid and lauric acid

Micellar Casein is an indentured form of casein isolated from ordinary casein protein. It is produced from milk by means of ultra filtration, without the use of chemicals. Research shows that Micellar casein is an extremely slow digesting protein that offers prolonged 7 hour absorption; studies relate prolonged absorption to increased protein synthesis and reduced muscle breakdown. It is preferred over whey because it provides muscles with protein over a long period of time; therefore, more protein is absorbed and used by the muscle. Since it is produced without the use of chemicals it contains more bioactive milk peptides that support immune function as well as enhance muscle growth.

Taurine ,an essential amino acid, contains cysteine and methoinine. It is normally added to energy drinks to improve the level of endurance during workouts. It acts like a diuretic and retains magnesium and potassium within the cells and gets rid of sodium. It helps eliminate swelling and accumulation of fluids and enhances the functioning of the kidney. Taurine also helps maintain a proper balance of calcium, lowers the blood pressure, prevent the development of gallstones and strengthens the muscles of the heart. Additionally, it even supports diabetes patients, as it inhibits resistance to insulin and hyperglycemia. Taurine deficiency can impair vision, develop epilepsy and could lead to problems like fat metabolism. It naturally detoxifies our body and is required in small doses of 1 and 4 grams everyday.

Whey Protein Concentrate is the concentrated form of whey protein, which contains sixty five percent beta-lactoglobulin , twenty five percent alpha-lactalbumin (~25%), eight percent serum albuminand and two percent immunoglobulins. Whey protein concentrate contains low level of fats and cholesterol, and a high level of carbohydrates and bioactive compounds. It is twenty nine to eighty nine percent proteins by weight. Whey protein concentrate is mostly used by athletes and in general medical application because it provides proteins and low quantities fats, cholesterol and carbohydrates. It is not the favorite supplement for body builders because they generally use whey protein isolate, which contains more than ninety percent protein by weight.

Whey Protein Isolate is one of the three mass produced forms of whey protein. It is processed to completely remove fat and lactose, and is also low in bioactive compounds. Whey protein isolate is more then 90% protein by weight. While preparing supplements of whey protein isolate different flavors are also added. It is the ideal type of protein for sportsmen and bodybuilders to provide them with enough protein to fuel their muscles, and promote muscle growth. Whey protein isolate supplements can be taken by lactose intolerant people since they are free from lactose.
