Irish moss contains 55 to 90 percent mucilage, and small amounts of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, chlorine, phosphorous, bromine, fluorine, sodium, potassium, calcium, silica, iodine, and magnesium.

Maltodextrin is a form of glucose that is found in many foods as an additive. It is easy to digest and is almost flavorless. Maltodextrin is formed mainly from starchy products, such as corn and wheat. The starch in these foods is being used to produce maltodextrin through a process called hydrolisys. Maltodextrin is presently being used as an alternative to sugar because it has the ability to produce a sweet flavoring without as many calories.

Vitamin B6contains pyridoxal phosphate, or PLP for short, as the active ingredient and is a vitamin belonging to the B complex grouping. It is functioning mainly as a co-enzyme with others in the human body, aiding in the proper function of several metabolic processes. Neurotransmitter synthesis, as well as hemoglobin and histamine synthesis are just some of the functions of PLP, hemoglobin function, gene expression and aiding in the facilitation of decarboxylation, elimination and other reactions, mainly taking place in the liver. Vitamin B6 was found to diminish by 50% the risk of Parkinson’s disease. Alternative medicine suggests the use of Vitamin B6 to combat autism, in combination with magnesium. This combination has shown effects with children suffering from attention deficit disorders. PLP also seems to show therapeutic effects for diabetic nephropathy.
