Phytosphingosine is structural analog of sphingolipids and is classified as long-chain sphingoid base. Phytosphingosine significantly induced chromatin DNA fragmentation. Phytosphingosine caused strong induction of caspase-8 activity and caspase-independent Bax translocation to the mitochondria. It shows excellent clinical results in the context of skin care in acne, based on both anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial activity. Phytosphingosine is currently seen in a variety of products as a skin and hair conditioning agent. Phytosphingosine might serve as an effective melanogenesis inhibitor in melanocytes via the regulation of the MITF signaling pathways. Dietary supplementation of phytosphingosine decreases plasma cholesterol levels and enhances insulin sensitivity in men with the metabolic syndrome.

Potassium is needed to maintain good health. When potassium level falls below 3.5 mmol/L, Hypokalemia is diagnosed. In case of extremely low level of potassium (lower than 2.5 mmol/L) the following symptoms are appeared: malaise and fatigue. This low level of potassium can lead to severe muscle weakness and paralysis; respiratory failure; intermittent muscle spasms. It is known, foods that are good sources of potassium and low in sodium may reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke.
