L-Carnitine is an important amino acid with a critical role facilitating the uptake of fatty acids into mitochondria for energy production. Cardiac muscle is rich in L-Carnitine, and inadequate amounts can affect this organ early on. Supplemental L-Carnitine supports normal myocardial energy production, stable cardiac rhythm, and normal oxygenation of myocardial and other tissues.*  Dietary Considerations Wheat Free Dairy/ Milk Free Soy Free Yeast Free Sugar Free Preservative Free Salt Free Corn Free Free of Artificial Colors/Flavors  Serving Size:1 Capsule  Servings Per Container:120  Amount Per Serving L-Carnitine (fumarate)* 500 mg   Other ingredients: gelatin capsule, cellulose, silica, di tab, vegetab, solutab, vegetable stearine     Suggested use for adults: $ capsules per day in divided doses between meals, or as directed by your health care practitioner.

Versatile antioxidant support for cellular health and longevityl-Carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine) occurs naturally in the body’s muscle and nervous tissues and is formed by the amino acids alanine and histidine. Levels of this dipeptide can decline with age. It is a water-soluble antioxidant and promotes cell health and cell longevity. In vitro, l-carnosine maintains healthy advanced glycation end-product, or AGE, activity. These end-products are formed when aldehydes (such as aldose and ketose sugars) and lipid peroxidation by-products bind to proteins. l-Carnosine plays a role in maintaining DNA integrity. l-Carnosine may also support superoxide dismutase activity.In addition, l-carnosine may help to maintain healthy peptide metabolism in the brain and its membrane-stabilizing properties support cellular health in the cardiovascular system. The concentration of l-carnosine in the muscle may prove to be an important factor in high-intensity exercise performance based on a recent human study.l-Carnosine provides unique protective mechanisms in the body to maintain healthy protein and cellular function in various tissues.

Supports fat metabolism, endurance during training and the healthy functioning of the heart and musclesIn studies, l-carnitine has demonstrated the ability to promote oxygenation of the heart muscle, support cardiovascular energy, support endurance training, and maintain healthy lipid metabolism. Fumarate, or fumaric acid, is an important compound, which is also naturally present in the body. As a component of the Krebs cycle (Citric Acid Cycle), fumaric acid plays a key role in generating energy. In combination with l-carnitine, it provides dual support for energizing the heart and muscles, unlike most forms of carnitine.Supports cardiovascular health and fat metabolism Helps generate energy Made with hypoallergenic, vegan ingredients Dietary Considerations Gluten FreeNon-GMO Serving Size: 2 Capsule Servings Per Container: 60 Amount Per Serving L-Carnitine (free-form) (from l-carnitine fumarate) 680 mg Other Ingredients vegetarian capsule (cellulose, water), hypoallergenic plant fiber (cellulose), ascorbyl palmitate Suggested Use As a dietary supplement, take 2 capsules, 1-2 times daily, between meals.

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.

BCAA+G is the ultimate muscle recovery formula nutritionally engineered for today’s serious athlete and health enthusiast.* BCAA+G contains a precise blend of Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) and L-Glutamine, which are clinically proven to be essential for building muscle size and strength.* BCAA+G increases protein synthesis, nitrogen retention and most importantly protects hard earned muscle from the stress of heavy training and intense exercise. Clinical investigations have proven that the amino acids in BCAA+G help the body recover quicker after intense training and promote lean muscle gains.* During intense training or dieting, muscle tissue can decrease, drastically reducing protein synthesis, or the ability to build muscle. Research has indicated that BCAAs and Glutamine supplementation support the free amino acid pool in the muscle tissue necessary for supporting protein synthesis and allowing the body to build lean muscle mass.* Because the body cannot manufacture its own BCAAs, their importance is vital for maximum muscle growth and recovery.* Take BCAA+G during and/or after exercise to maintain metabolic rate and discourage muscle wasting.* • Supports muscle size and strength* • Supports muscle recovery* • Reduce fatigue and muscle soreness* • 150 capsules  Serving Size:5 Capsule  Servings Per Container:30 Amount Per Serving Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HCI)2 mg L-Leucine2500 mg L-Valine1500 mg L-Isoleucine1000 mg L-Glutamine1000 mg  Other Ingredients: Capsule is made of gelatin  Suggested Usage: Take 5 capsules 2 times daily. 1 serving taken prior to exercise and 1 serving immediately following exercise.

Protein Powders Products
Protein is essential for muscle repair and growth and aids in weight loss. Many different protein powders exist, including casein, soy, and whey protein. Protein shakes and other protein supplementation sources are excellent for supporting serious athletes and teens participating in competitive sports.
People who are out of shape and have just begun to work out may need the additional nutrition and energy boost provided by a good protein supplement. Those who have been working out for a while and wish to increase performance will also find the protein powders helpful. Additionally, people recovering from injury can use the extra protein to promote healing. Protein shakes also benefit people who are switching from an omnivorous to a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle. No matter what your reason, choosing a high-quality protein supplement is a great way to be sure of meeting all of your nutritional needs. Count on Vita Living to provide a wide variety of high-quality protein shakes and protein supplements to suit your needs.
Healthcare professionals caution that people should not depend solely on protein powder supplements for good nutrition. People of all ages and activity levels must strive to eat a well-balanced, nutritious, natural, whole-food diet rich in high-quality protein sources. While some athletes may need more elaborate and complete protein supplements, a less expensive choice is excellent if you wish to enhance your diet and fitness.
Whey protein is very popular because it is a milk protein that dissolves easily in water, so people seeking a boost in proteins and amino acids can easily add it to their daily diet. Whey protein is complete and contains a full array of the nine necessary amino acids. It is essential to realize that whey is a dairy product, not a strictly vegan choice. For people who prefer a vegan diet, soy protein is a good option; however, some users say it does not taste as good as whey protein and is more challenging to dissolve in liquid.
