L-Glutamine
- potent amino acid commonly referred to as brain
fuel. In the brain, Glutamine is converted into glunamic
acid, which is essential for cerebral function.
Glutamine
increases GABA which is said to be helpful in
maintaining brain function, mental alertness and memory*
Glutamine
is not just a brain food, it is used throughout the
body. It is used in the gut and by the immune system and
plays a key role in protein metabolism. L-Glutamine is
commonly found in high protein body building
supplements, where it is said to reduce the amount of
muscle deterioration during work-outs
L-Arganine
- Arginine is said to have excellent nitrogen
retention ability, which is important for muscle protein
synthesis and enhancing the immune system.
It
is used widely in supplements associated with
rejuvenation and anti-aging, since it is said to be
effective in stimulating activity in the Thymus gland
which is important, particularly for those recovering
from illness and injury.
L-Arginine
is also used in weight control and muscle retention
supplements.
L-Glysine - is commonly associated with central
nervous system function. It is said to retard
muscle degeneration and it is utilized in construction
of DNA and RNA. Used by the body to build proteins and
helps the body synthesize purines, porphyrins, creatine,
and glyoxylic acid. Glycine may help in maintaining the
prostate function and prostate health, important in
weight control.
L-Lysine - is an essential amino acid which
cannot be manufactured in the body, hence it is
important to include adequate amounts in the diet and in
supplement form. L-Lysine may help ensure adequate
absorption of calcium and assist with the formation of
collagen for bone, cartilage and connective tissue. It
may help improve circulation and assist the immune
system manufacture antibodies, at the same time
controlling acid/alkaline balance.
It
is necessary for all amino acid assimilation and assists
in the storage of fats. L-Lysine also contributes to
energy production when converted to acetyl coenzyme A,
one of the principal fuels for the Krebs cycle.
Tribulus Extract - a perennial trailing plant,
which grows wild all over India. It is used widely in
the Ayurvedic system of medicine for treating various
urinary disorders including urolithiasis.
The
Greeks used Tribulus Terrestris as a diuretic and
aphrodisiac. It contains alkaloids, saponins, resins and
nitrates and is popularly used as a sports/athletic
nutrient. The extract of the plant is recognized as a
diuretic and aphrodisiac. It is found commonly in
supplements to combat impotency and enhance libido and fertility
in both women and men. It is found commonly in male
sexual stimulant products but it's benefits are not
gender specific.
Mucuna
Extract - This widely available Indian herb has been
used commonly as an anti Parkinson's supplement, and as
a potent aphrodisiac. It is shown to increase
testosterone levels, leading to deposition of protein in
the muscles and increased muscle mass and strength. It
is commonly used in both female and male sexual
performance products and is found beneficial in treating
various forms of sexual dysfunction.
Mucuna
Extract is in great demand as a supplement due to the
presence of L-DOPA, a neurotransmitter precursor.
Colostrom
- said to contain powerful immune factors that work
to help restore immune function. It is especially rich
in IgG, which is a critical antibody for general
immunity to viral and microbial threats. Colostrum
has also shown benefits in weight control and muscle /
tissue regeneration. It may assist greatly in
metabolizing fat for energy. Since it is easier for our
body to burn muscle tissue than it is to burn fat, it is
important to balance the process by introducing elements
that can help us burn fat cells. Colostrum contains the
compound IGF-1 which is produced abundantly in younger
people, but production declines considerably as we age.
Introducing IGF-1 through colostrum supplementation can
assist our diet and exercise programs by promoting the
reduction of fat cells ahead of muscle tissue.
L-Ornithine
- is an amino acid and used in the body in the
biosynthesis of L-arginine, L-proline and polyamines.
Research
has suggested that L-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 hormone. L-ornithine
is also said to increase the metabolism of fat and may
therefore be significant in weight regulation and loss.
