Amino Acids

Glutamine is an amino acid and has demonstrated its benefits by crossing the blood brain barrier where it is converted into a glutamic acid, a precursor of G.A.B.A., a neurotransmitter that supports the central nervous system. Therefore, Glutamine may aid concentration and help maintain even temper/mood in times of stress.  Glutamine is the principle metabolic fuel for the...

L-Carnitine Tartrate is the purest form of L-Carnitine. Its superior solubility makes this one of the most preferred derivatives of the naturally occurring L-Carnitine. Fatty acid metabolism requires carnitine. Fatty acids are converted to fatty acetylCoA, then combined with carnitine before they are carried into the cells’ power plants, the mitochondria, to be oxidized. L-Carnitine Tartrate is...
