In view of modern physiology, the rasa dhatu includes plasma, interstitial fluids and lymph. The rasa dhatvagni is related with glucose metabolism, circulation in portal vein, formation of white blood cells.  In opinion of some researchers, rasa dhatu has three major components solids, water and gases.  Solids are 7-8 % and contains organic substances like plasmaproteins, carbohydrate, enzymes, nonprotein nitrogenous substances, amino acids, internal secretions like hormones and antibodies.Inorganic substances include sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium, bicarbonate, chloride, phosphate, iodide, iron and copper. Water is 92-93 %. The gases include oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen.
