4-Hydroxyisoleucine can be characterized as an amino acid. It is mainly found in fenugreek seeds. Traditional medicine has always used fenugreek seeds for their anti diabetics properties. History states that fenugreek has been associated with healthy eating for a very long time. 4-hydroxyisoleucine that is found in fenugreek helps in increasing the carbohydrate-induced insulin secretion. The pancreas get assistance from 4-hydroxyisoleucine in producing insulin. Research shows that consuming fenugreek as part of your daily meal intake will help keep the fasting blood sugar in control. This in turn helps in improving the glucose tolerance level notably. It has been proven by research that increased blood glucose level leads much faster production of body fat... The higher the glucose level, the more effective this will be on the body. Hence, 4-hydroxyisoleucine has many vital effects on the insulin needs of the body at all time.

Amylase is also sometimes called a starch blocker. As the name suggests, it prevents the body from absorbing dietary starches. It is present in the saliva. This is particularly benefits diabetic patients because it helps maintain and regulate the blood glucose levels. It also helps in maintaining and losing weight. It is effective in treating obesity. The ingested carbohydrates are broken down by the digestive enzymes which are then absorbed by the body. Amylase limits the capacity of the body in absorbing carbohydrates which are later on turned into glucose, a simple sugar, that can be used by the body as energy fuel.

CLA- The conjugated linoleic acids, commonly abbreviated as CLA, are isomers, compounds which have the same molecular formula, but differ in structure. Twenty eight of these linoleic acid compounds have been discovered as of yet and all of them are either in the meat or milk, including the derived products, of ruminants. CLAs have been proven to act as anti-carcinogens, are able to fight inflammation, but also are able to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Some studies conducted with the effects of CLA in diets have expressed that approximately 3.4 gram intake of CLA daily reduces the body fat, particularly abdominal fat. For body builders it is of utmost importance to have a lean six pack and CLA is apparently the best aid you can find.

Egg Albumen is the source of protein obtained from eggs. Egg albumen protein is present in egg protein drinks, dried milk, and protein meal replacement procedures. It is soluble in water, fat and gel. According to the hypothesis of ‘blood group and food types’, it is suitable supplement for all blood types. Though, the people who are allergic to eggs should avoid it. Egg albumen supplements are extremely vital for bodybuilders as they are rich in protein and help in muscle development. Egg albumen powder is also used in preparing noodles, sausages, and bakery products to enhance the quality of these foods.

Flax Seed Oil is derived from a blue flowering plant grown in western Canadian Prairies. It is especially grown for the oil rich seeds because the oil, also known as Linseed oil is recommended for well being by experts. The oil is considered very effective for the nutrition of the entire body. Being a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, flaxseed oil is required for the smooth functioning of almost every body system. Besides omega-3, this oil also contains essential fatty acids like omega-6, magnesium, B vitamins, zinc, protein, fiber and omega-9. According to experts, this oil can be taken as an essential supplement for promoting good health. It is as good as taking multi vitamins. Its natural properties can benefit every part such as the immune system, nervous system, circulatory system and joints.

L-Isoleucine is one of the nine essential amino acids that is not produced in the body. It can be obtained from animal sources like liver, fish, eggs, chicken, meat and vegetable sources like rye, cashew nuts, almonds, lentils, chickpeas and soy proteins. The metabolism of L-Isoleucine takes place in muscle tissue. It is needed for the formation of hemoglobin and stabilizes and regulates blood sugar and energy levels. It is also known to increase endurance levels and helps in the recovery of muscles after exercise. It strengthens the immune system’s ability to fight off infections and increases the level of growth hormones and insulin to maintain the body’s balance. A deficiency leads to a number of physical and mental disorders with symptoms similar to hypoglycemia.

L-Leucine- Leucine is a hydrophobic essential alpha amino acid, which as an additive under the name L-Leucine has an E number E641, which classifies this amino acid as a flavor enhancer. The natural source of leucine includes whole wheat products, several species of nuts and brown rice. L-Leucine is one of the most abundant amino acids found in skeletal muscle tissues. L-Leucine became in recent times a very popular dietary supplement, particularly with the body building communities, because of the evidence that it slows down the degradation of muscle tissue in rats by elevating the production of muscle proteins. There are additional claims in circulation, which state that L-Leucine also controls the nitrogen balance and aids to the mental and cognitive abilities during high power workouts.

L-Valine is an amino acid in combination with L-Leucine and L-Isoleucine. These amino acids maintain everyday life and offer maximum support. L-Valine is acquired from vegetable and animal protein. L-Valine regulates the immune system and is involved in the protein synthesis and glucose metabolism. L-Valine is effective in muscle growth as well as tissue repair. L-Valine is a part of the muscle metabolism and is also effective in the nitrogen balance in the body. L-Valine is found in the muscles in high concentration, but this cannot be done on its own in the body and has to be acquired through dietary or food supplements. L-Valine has stimulating effect and maintains the nitrogen in the body. It is effective for repair as well as growth of tissues and for muscle metabolism. Adhering to the label directions is highly recommended. This is normally safe and has no side effect until now. However, for the dietary supplement consulting the physician before use is the best.

Maltodextrin is an easily digested carbohydrate.

Milk Protein Isolate- Milk has a large number of proteins present in it. A mixture of all the milk proteins is known as a milk protein isolate. This mainly constitutes the casein and whey proteins. Milk protein isolate is very good as it has a strong amino acid mixture from both the casein and whey components. This is generally found in sports nutrition bars and also meal replacement powders. There is some research that states (not yet conclusive) that blood groups O and A will face problems when milk proteins are consumed. This stand rises from the argument that milk from the cow is primarily not meant for human consumption.

Palatinose is also known as Isomaltulose. It is a low glycemic and low insulinemic carbohydrate that is chemically derived from sucrose. It is absorbed in the small intestine as disaccharides of glucose and fructose. Palatinose gives a prolonged supply of energy. It works by allowing the glucose enter the blood at a very slow rate that prevents the sudden changes in the glucose and insulin levels. This also helps maintain a balanced blood sugar level. It also inhibits the formation of caries in the teeth because unlike ordinary sugars such as sucrose, maltose and glucose; they are not transformed into acidic substance that causes the formation of plaque on the surface of teeth.

Sunflower Oil, obtained from the fatty kernels of sunflowers, is a versatile vegetable oil with a light yellow color that is also light in taste. The oil contains more Vitamin E than any other vegetable oil that exists. It comes in three types, lionleic, high oleic and NuSun. Used in the production of margarine, sunflower oil is also a powerful antioxidant which is used to fight free radicals in the body. Consuming sunflower oil can lessen risks of cancer and cosmetically, the high protein levels and Vitamin E found resident can help protect and even rebuild skin. Rich in fiber, copper, zinc, folate and B Vitamins, the oil also contains selenium, which works well in conjunction with Vitamin E. It is primarily used in cooking as one of the more healthy oils to consume.

Trehalose is also known as mycose or tremalose. It consists of glucose molecules bonded to glycosidic. It is closely linked to sugar and is present in insects, fungi, plants and bacteria. It is commonly used in confectioneries, fruit jams, rice, and noodles as texturizer, humectant, and stabilizer. It gives better energy supply for a longer period of time. It is beneficial to diabetic patients because it helps in maintaining blood sugar level. It may also prevent Alzheimer’s disease from progressing. It improves memory retention. Trehalose, as a sugar alternative, is good for the teeth because it does not cause cavities like table sugar does.

Whey Protein Concentrate is one of the three commonly produced forms of Whey protein. It is the form of whey protein containing low level of fat and cholesterol but having high level of bioactive compounds and carbohydrates in the form of lactose. Whey protien concentrate is 29%-89% protein by weight depending on the use for which it is produced. Some studies suggest that use of whey protein concentrate as a supplement can reduce the risk of cancer and can increase cellular glutathione levels. However, this type of whey protien cannot be taken by people who are lactose intolerent.

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.
