  • Now Arginine and Citrulline 120 caps Now Arginine and Citrulline 120 caps

    Dietary Supplement - Supports Protein Metabolism- Helps Maintain Muscle TissueArginine and Citrulline are two amino acids that are integral to protein metabolism and utilization, as well as to the maintenance of muscle tissue. Both are key intermediates in the urea cycle, where they participate in the detoxification of ammonia via the production of urea. Arginine that has not been converted to urea enters general circulation where it is distributed to various tissues and metabolized for other uses such as protein synthesis. Scientific studies have shown that supplementing Citrulline along with Arginine helps maintain nitrogen balance better than supplementation with Arginine alone.Dietary ConsiderationsWheat FreeDairy/ Milk FreeGluten FreeSoy FreeYeast FreeSugar FreeStarch FreePreservative FreeSalt FreeCorn FreeEgg FreeShellfish FreeServing Size:2 Capsule     Servings Per Container:60                                                                                                                          Amount Per Serving                                                                                                         L-Arginine (Free-Form) 1 g        L-Citrulline (Free-Form)500 mg       Other ingredients: Gelatin (capsule), Silica, Cellulose, Stearic Acid (vegetable source), Magnesium Stearate (vegetable source)                                                                                                                                                                                                    SUGGESTED USAGE: As a dietary sup ple ment, take 2 capsules 1 to 3 times daily as needed, preferably with juice or water on an empty stomach, before exercise or at bedtime.Contains no sugar, salt, starch, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, milk, egg, shellfish or preservatives.

Supplementation with glycine has been shown to support healthy kidney and liver function as well as nervous system health. Animal studies and a small human study indicate that glycine has the potential to support memory and mental function. In another human trial, glycine, acting as an inhibitory amino acid, had neuroprotective effects. Animal studies suggest that glycine plays a protective role for the kidneys and liver particularly by supporting detoxification of certain chemicals.

Amino Acid Supplements Products

Amino acids are essential building blocks of tissues and proteins and also act as intermediates in metabolism. For this reason, getting enough essential amino acids through your daily diet and/or supplements is very important so that your body can grow and repair itself properly.

Vita Living offers essential amino acids supplements, which prevent the breakdown of muscle tissues and also increase the release of human growth hormone. These are effective in abdominal fat loss, retention of muscle mass, and improving exercise performance Other than providing physical fitness, amino acid supplements control mood swings, improve concentration level, and have a positive impact on various physiological phenomena.

Amino acids help the body develop and maintain healthy tissues. In addition, your nervous system also needs a good supply of amino acids to function properly. A lack of the amino acid known as tryptophan can cause lowered production of serotonin, which can lead to sleep and mood disorders. Additionally, amino acids are very important in creating enzymes for the support of biochemical reactions and hormones that help regulate metabolism. More research on the value of amino acid supplements is being conducted every day, and it is becoming more and more clear that individual amino acids and specially formulated combinations may be very valuable in healing some types of illnesses and conditions. For example, glutamine may help people who wish to curb cravings for sugar or alcohol. Phenylalanine has been shown to be helpful in easing chronic pain.

Whenever you exercise, you break down some tissues, and your body needs amino acids to repair them. That's why many athletes supplement amino acids with protein drinks and supplements. The amino acids in protein drinks are absorbed quickly into the body and are available for use. Foods that are rich in protein are also rich in amino acids; however, these are not as bio-available as those found in supplements and protein drinks. To make the most of amino acids found in foods, you must be sure to chew thoroughly so that your stomach will be well supplied with hydrochloric acid and enzymes to break down your food efficiently and extract amino acids effectively. If you are considering supplementing your diet with amino acids, consult your health care professional and turn to Vita Living for high quality, dependable supplements.
