L-Alanine Helps build protein Alanine is a non-essential amino acid that is involved in the metabolism of tryptophan and the vitamin pyridoxine. 58A	L-Arginine base Non-essential amino acids Supports wound healing Removes excess ammonia Stimulates immune system Helps hormone production, i.e. glucagon, insulin and growth hormone 40A	L-Aspartic Acid Although aspartic acid is considered a non-essential amino acid, it plays a paramount role in metabolism during construction of other amino acids and biochemicals in the citric acid cycle. 59A	L-Carnitine, 240 mg per capsule, 50 capsules The major biochemical function of carnitine is to act as a trans-membrane carrier of fatty acids to the interior of mitochondria. 48AC
NACL Carnitine, bottle of 30 capsules A form of carnitine that is produced naturally in the brain--acetyl-L-carnitine, or ALC--is currently being studied in supplement form as a possible treatment for memory loss associated with aging. 75A	L-Cysteine.HCL Cysteine is also critical to the metabolism of a number of essential biochemicals including coenzyme A, heparin, biotin, lipoic acid, and glutathione. 41A	NACL Cysteine NAC has applications for heart health as it may help lower homocysteine levels and lipoprotein levels. As an antioxidant it is also helpful in protecting oxidation of LDL. 76A	L-Glutamic Acid Glutamic acid is biosynthesized from a number of amino acids including ornithine and arginine. When aminated, glutamic acid forms the important amino acid glutamine. 04A
L-Glutamine Aids recovery from illness, surgery Aids protein / muscle synthesis; athletic performance Supports immune function Prevents infection 05A	Glycine Non-essential amino acid helps build proteins may help with BPH 06A	L-Histidine Semi-essential amino acid Precursor to histamine May provide joint support 60A	L-Isoleucine Required for muscle tissue maintenance, preserve muscle glycogen stores (energy) Prevent muscle protein deterioration especially during exercise Usually taken in conjunction with L-Leucine and L-Valine May be helpful for individuals who exercise in extreme conditions (high heat, high altitude) 08A
L-Leucine Helps regulate blood sugar levels GH production Required for muscle tissue maintenance, preserve muscle glycogen stores (energy) 09A	L-Lysine Essential amino acid Necessary for growth and maintain nitrogen balance Important in many proteins 10A	L-Methionine building block of protein supplies sulfur which is necessary for growth and metabolism helps fat processing may provide neurological support may support pancreas health and act as an anti-inflammatory in the pancreas 42A	L-Ornithine.HCL may promote muscle building may help athletic performance may help recovery from illness 43A
Ornithine/Arginine (1/1) May help growth hormone production May help produce lean muscle mass may help recovery from illness 44A	L-Phenylalanine Building block for many crucial proteins including Norepinephinre, L-Dopamine May support mood 11A	DL-Phenylalanine DLPA may be helpful for easing pain and for mood support. May have some effect in promotion of energy, alertness and focus 12A	L-Proline Main component of collagen and may be helpful for bone, skin and cartilage formation Helpful for wound healing, joint and tissue repair 61A
L-Serine Serine is a component of brain proteins including nerve coverings Important in metabolism of purines and pyrimidines, in formation of cell membranes and creatine synthesis 14A	L-Taurine Important in metabolism, especially in the brain Helps stabilize cell membranes and has supportive antioxidant activity in the gallbladder, eyes and blood vessels Helps generate nerve impulses, movement of potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium May help with vascular integrity 47A	L-Tryptophan, 500 mg, 100 capsules L-Tryptophan is essential to the regulation of appetite and hunger, sex drive, sleep and mood. It is a serotonin precursor. 500mg/capsule, 100 capsule 63A	L-Threonine Necessary for formation of tooth enamel protein, elastin and collagen May help controlling fat buildup in the liver Stimulates the immune system Promotes thymus growth and activity 62A
L-Tyrosine Very important to general metabolism as it is a direct precursor to adrenaline and thyroid hormones May stimulate growth hormone production May act as a mild appetite suppressant May help with depression, anxiety (500-1000 mg 2-3 x's daily) May act as a mild antioxidant May help with sex drive 46A	L-Valine Helps regulate blood sugar levels GH production Required for muscle tissue maintenance, preserve muscle glycogen stores (energy) 16A	Please Visit our Website for more information
