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.

Hydrolyzed Protein is a protein, which has been broken down or hydrolyzed into its basic amino acids components. There are many ways of obtaining this; two of the common ways are using an enzyme like the pancreatic protease enzyme that stimulates the naturally occurring hydrolytic process and prolonged boiling in a strong base or strong acid. This protein is used to augment flavor since it includes free glutamic acid and also contains MSG (monosodium glutamate). According to FDA (Food and drug administration), hydrolyzed protein is considered as a flavor enhancer. Hydrolyzed protein is very cheap because this protein is generally extracted from less desirable segments of animals like cow hooves and skin.

Malic Acid is not only derived from food sources but the human body also synthesizes it through the cycle of citric acid. Carl Wilhelm Scheele first isolated it from apple juice in the year 1785. The name acide malique was proposed by Antoine Lavoisier in 1787. This organic compound is useful in production of energy during anaerobic as well as aerobic conditions. Since it is related to the depletion of energy during heavy exercises, healthy individuals can benefit from malic acid for enhancing production of energy. When malic acid is added to food products it is denoted by E number E296. It is used for providing the extreme tartness to candies like Sour Punch or Mega Warheads. Intake of malic acid in moderate amount doesn’t cause any side effects.

Potassium Benzoate consists of potassium salt of benzoic acid. Benzoic acid is a polyunsaturated fat which has many health benefits. Potassium Benzoate is commonly used in foods and juices as preservatives. It has antimicrobial and antifungal properties that make it ideal for use in preserving foods, dental care products, beverages, cosmetic, and medicines. It can be commonly found in vitamin tablets, liquid vitamins, and fruit juices because it increases the shelf life and prevents the growth of mold and bacteria. It is soluble in water and slightly soluble in alcohol. However, using it with vitamin c or Ascorbic acid is prevented because it may result in producing benzene which is a carcinogen.

Whey Protein Isolate- Out of the three most common forms of whey protein (concentrate, isolate and blend), whey protein isolate is the most costly form. However, you acquire what you pay for; whey protein isolate is factually zero fat, zero lactose, and zero carbs. It is a top quality protein and provides the most protein content per serving with the minimum amount of calories. It is also full of amino acids. Whey protein isolate is ideal for both fat loss and muscle building.
