L-Carnitine (27)
Carnitine is a quaternary ammonium compound involved in metabolism in most mammals, plants, and some bacteria. Carnitine exists as one of two stereoisomers. Both are biologically active but only l-carnitine naturally occurs in animals and d-carnitine is toxic as it inhibits the activity of the l-form.
-
Magnesium Sulfate (31)
Magnesium sulfate is an inorganic salt with the formula MgSO4x where 0≤x≤7. It is often encountered as the heptahydrate sulphate mineral epsomite, commonly called Epsom salt.

Malt syrup is dark brown, thick and sticky, and possesses a strong distinctive flavor described as "malty".
-
Maltodextrins (1)
Maltodextrin is a polysaccharide that is used as a food additive. It is produced from vegetable starch by partial hydrolysis and is usually found as a white hygroscopic spray-dried powder. Maltodextrin is easily digestible, being absorbed as rapidly as glucose and may be either moderately sweet or almost flavorless.
-
Manganese Sulfate - Controversial ingredient
(138)
-

KCl is used as a fertilizer, in medicine, in scientific applications, and in food processing, where it may be known as E number additive E508.
-
Potassium Sorbate (33)
Potassium sorbate is the potassium salt of sorbic acid, chemical formula CH3CH=CH−CH=CH−CO2K. It is a white salt that is very soluble in water. It is primarily used as a food preservative. Potassium sorbate is effective in a variety of applications including food, wine, and personal-care products.

Vitamin D is a group of fat-soluble secosteroids responsible for increasing intestinal absorption of calcium, magnesium, and phosphate, and multiple other biological effects. In humans, the most important compounds in this group are vitamin D3 and vitamin D2. The major natural source of the vitamin is synthesis of cholecalciferol in the lower layers of skin epidermis through a chemical reaction that is dependent on sun exposure.
-
Vitamin E - Harmless ingredient
(283)
