Helium, neutrinos, positrons (a.k.a. anti-electrons) and photons (hard gamma rays). The photon produced has energy around half a million electronVolts (eV); by comparison, a photon of visible light has only about 2 or 3 eV (not millions, just three).
There will be some short-lived Lithium_7 but it will quickly collide with a Hydrogen_1 atom and the result will be 2 atoms of Helium_4
There may be occasional Helium fusion into Beryllium, but Be_8 is not stable and quickly returns to two atoms of He_4.

Fusion within the Sun's core is brought about by the intense
pressure and heat of a gigantic mass of hydrogen and other gases pressing down. The first reaction to begin once enough gas is collected by a baby star is the fusion of hydrogen gas into helium gas.
That fusion process releases:
helium gas
huge amounts of Heat
and
radiation in the form of:
Intense Visable Light
Ultra Violet Radiation
Infra Red Radiation
Intense X Rays
Intense Gamma Rays

There are about six different processes of Nuclear Fusion ,relative to the Sun's mass structure.
The simplest one is Hydrogen to Helium conversion.
During this conversion process mass is lost out of the original parent atoms.This mass loss is transfered to the surroundings of the cosmos as a radiation flux. This radiation flux is absorbed by other mass structures, and what is not absorbed contibutes to the Entropy of space ,and as a result the temperature Energy in the contaiment volume of space in the Universe continually increases.
Therefore the Sun's mass decrease is a proportional exponential decay with time. Howeve ; the Sun's Mass also receive additional mass from the cosmos, hence obiviating some of its mass loss.

Helium is fused from hydrogen, huge amounts of radiation, cosmic rays, neutrinos, gamma rays and the entire spectrum of light fans out into space.

Primarily the element helium, along with various kinds of radiation.
