ArginineWhat does it do? The amino acid arginine has several roles in the body, such as assisting in wound healing, helping remove excess ammonia from the body, stimulating immune function, and promoting secretion of several hormones including glucagon, insulin, and growth hormone. The effect on growth hormone levels1 has interested body builders. In a controlled trial, when combined with weight... |

Cysteine What does it do? Cysteine is a nonessential amino acid (protein building block). Cysteine is one of the few amino acids that contains sulfur. This allows cysteine to bond in a special way and maintain the structure of proteins in the body. Cysteine is a component of the antioxidant glutathione. The body also uses cysteine to produce taurine, another amino acid. Cysteine is occasionally... |

DLPA Known as (DL-Phenylalanine) Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid found in common protein foods as well as the synthetic sweetener aspartame (NutraSweet). Like other nutrient amino acids, phenylalanine comes in L- (from the Latin levo for left) and D- (from dextro for right) forms. The directions refer to minor differences in the amino acids' molecular structure, as evidenced by light... |

Glutamine For Adding Muscle and Burning Body Fat What is it? Glutamine has traditionally been considered a "nonessential" amino acid, but current research suggests that it may be "conditionally essential" under certain metabolic conditions such as exercise. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body and is involved in many metabolic processes. It is essential to... |

L & DL PhenylalanineDescription Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid – meaning that the body cannot synthesize it on its own and we must get it from the diet. The primary dietary sources of phenylalanine are high protein foods such as meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. Another significant dietary source for some people may be through consumption of sugar-free products containing the... |

L-Carnitine What does it do? L-carnitine is made in the body from the amino acids lysine and methionine. It is needed to release energy from fat. Its actions appear to be particularly important in the heart. For congestive heart failure, much of the research has used a modified form of carnitine called propionyl-L-carnitine (PC). In one double blind trial, using 500 mg PC per day led to a 26%... |

LysineWhat does it do? Lysine is an essential amino acid needed for growth and to help maintain nitrogen balance in the body. Essential amino acids cannot be made in the body and must be supplied by the diet or supplements. Lysine appears to help the body absorb and conserve calcium.1 Linus Pauling believed that lysine helps maintain healthy blood vessels, an idea based on biochemistry and... |

N-Acetyl Cysteine Also known as: NAC What does it do? N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is an altered form of the amino acid cysteine, which is commonly found in food and synthesized by the body. NAC helps break down mucus. Double blind research has found that NAC supplements improved symptoms in individuals with bronchitis.1 2 NAC helps the body synthesize glutathione—an important antioxidant. In... |

Ornithine What does it do? Ornithine, an amino acid, is manufactured by the body when another amino acid, arginine, is metabolized during the production of urea (a constituent of urine). Animal research has suggested that ornithine, along with arginine, may promote muscle-building activity in the body by increasing levels of anabolic (growth-promoting) hormones such as insulin and growth... |
