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.

Phosphate (Phosphorus) is a chemical element that is found in the periodic table with the atomic number fifteen. As a high reactive element, it is not found in clean form as a free element in nature. It is one of the most important and essential elements in the human body, being found in phospholipids that form all the membranes of cells, the DNA, the RNA and also the ATP. Cellular energy is being transported by phosphate in form of adenosine triphosphate, calcium phosphate, which are salts, are responsible for the stiffness of bones. In the average human, the amount of phosphorus in weight would be about one kilogram, whereby most of it is in form of apatite and found in teeth and bones. The daily consumption of phosphorus through dietary means is estimated at about one to three grams.

Potassium is an electrolyte, a substance that maintains the fluid levels in the body. It is helpful in regulating blood pressure and heart function. Intake of potassium can benefit people suffering from hypertension. Research has found that a potassium supplement intake decreased incidence of stroke by 60 percent. It neutralizes acids and restores alkaline salts to bloodstream.  It acts along with sodium cells to maintain or restore membrane potentials. Potassium is also vital for nerve functioning and cardiovascular, and regulates nutrients’ transfer into cells and adds to muscle energy. It also helps recuperative powers, besides regulating water balance. Potassium is beneficial for eliminating wastes. It is helpful in controlling headaches and convulsions, and quickens healing of cuts, bruises and other injuries.

Sodium is part of the extracellular fluid of many multicellular creatures, not least mankind. It is needed for instance in nerve conduction and to balance the acid levels in the body. It is necessary for the functioning of organs such as the liver, intestine and kidneys in their work of ridding the body of toxins However there is an optimum intake. Above this there are problems such as a rise in the blood pressure. Also an excess of salt in the diet will draw fluid out of the cells by the process of osmosis. On the other hand a lack of sodium will lead to too much water in the body the brains cells will actually be flooded.
