  • MetabolicResponseModifier L-Glutamine Powder 500 gms MetabolicResponseModifier L-Glutamine Powder 500 gms

    L-Glutamine is the most abundant “free” amino acid in the body. L-Glutamine is found in higher concentration than other proteins (amino acids) in vital tissues such as the brain, intestinal mucosa cells, immune cells, skeletal and smooth muscle. In muscle, the concentration of free glutamine appears to influence whether muscles will be broken down (catabolism – low glutamine content) or built up (anabolism – high glutamine content). The reason is that when the catabolic hormone cortisol attaches to its receptor it stimulates an enzyme called glutamine synthetase to break down muscle tissue, which in turn releases glutamine. The end result is a reduction in muscle mass. Maintaining high blood levels of glutamine inactivates glutamine synthetase so your body does not tear down muscle tissue. Glutamine is also known as a Nitrogen shuttle, a substance that picks up and drops off nitrogen around the body. Nitrogen is an essential component of DNA, the genetic material of life and muscle building. Glutamine is a prominent contributor to the functional integrity of the intestines and serves as an energy source for these high activity cells.* In the cells of the immune system, glutamine is pivotal in their response to “foreign” challenges by serving both as metabolic fuel and as a precursor to RNA and DNA.* Glutamine is the dominant amino acid in cerebrospinal fluid and readily enters the brain where it can serve as a precursor to neurotransmitters. Glutamine is readily absorbed from the intestinal tract and has a mild sweet taste. MRM’s L-Glutamine is produced through fermentation by Japan’s leading pharmaceutical production facility. It is not synthetically produced. • Increases muscle growth* • Minimizes muscle breakdown (anti-catabolic)* • Enhances brain and memory function* • Supports intestinal and immune health* • Antioxidant precursor   Dietary Considerations Gluten Free Soy Free Free of Artificial Colors/Flavors Amount Per Serving L-Glutamine (Pharmaceutical Grade)1000 mg   Suggested Usage: Take 1 scoop (included) up to 5 times daily or as directed by your qualified healthcare provider.

  • Pure Encapsulations L-Carnitine 340 mg 120 vcaps Pure Encapsulations L-Carnitine 340 mg 120 vcaps

    Highly stabilized form of l-carnitine supporting cardiovascular health and recovery from exercisel-Carnitine is an amino acid found abundantly in skeletal and heart muscle. It functions primarily to support fat utilization. Also acts as a carrier of fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are oxidized and converted to energy. l-Carnitine also facilitates the removal of short and medium-chain fatty acids from the mitochondria that accumulate during normal metabolic processes. A randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of l-carnitine involving 101 volunteers indicated that l-carnitine helped maintain healthy cardiac enzymes including lipid peroxides and lactate dehydrogenase.In combination with other cardiovascular support agents, l-carnitine supported ventricular function and superoxide dismutase enzyme activity in human volunteers. Long-term l-carnitine supplementation indicated positive support for cardiovascular health after a 3-year follow-up in adult subjects. A recent placebo-controlled clinical study found that l-carnitine-l-tartrate supplementation helps physical recovery from high- intensity exercise. l-Carnitine-l-tartrate contains 68% pure l-carnitine and 32% natural l-tartaric acid.

Amino Acid Supplements Products

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

Vita Living offers essential amino acid supplements, which prevent muscle tissue breakdown and increase human growth hormone release. These supplements effectively reduce abdominal fat, retain muscle mass, and improve exercise performance. In addition to providing physical fitness, amino acid supplements control mood swings, improve concentration levels, and positively impact 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 correctly. 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 essential in creating enzymes to support 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 increasingly apparent 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 helps ease chronic pain.

You break down some tissues whenever you exercise, 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 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 the 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 healthcare professional and turn to Vita Living for high-quality, dependable supplements.
