Creatine Anhydrous is another form of creatine monohydrate, the only difference being that this is a dry form in which the water molecule has been removed. The advantage it has over other forms of creatine is that there is an increase of about 6% in the content of the creatine itself, there being no water molecule present. Creatine anhydrous is used to help build better body mass and in enhancing performance during sports. Prolonged use of Creatine Anhydrous may lead to the occurrence of stones in the kidney. The only side effect of creatine that has been proven is an upset stomach caused by an increase in the dosage. Renal stress is another prominent condition that is brought about by the ingestion of Creatine Anhydrous.

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 the element that has the atomic number 11 in the periodic table and is commonly known as the main component in the table salt, together with chloride. Interestingly enough, it is probably the one dietary component which does require limitation rather than supplementation, since that average daily nutritional requirement is around half a gram per day. This most popular food seasoning, salt, is providing the most common source of sodium and chloride in human diets, but is generally overused and may cause health problems, such as high blood pressure, if consumed overly generously. The suggested dose of table salt, or rather the upper limit portion, would be somewhat less than 6 gram per day, according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, referenced by FDA. In the UK this limit is set at four grams per day.
