Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR) is a modified (acetylated) form of L-Carnitine, a nitrogen-containing compound derived from L-Lysine. The carnitine molecule is necessary for the proper movement of fat molecules into the mitochondria for oxidation (fat burning). It seems to be beneficial for individuals suffering from a large array of maladies, including anorexia, chronic fatigue, coronary vascular disease, diphtheria, hypoglycemia, male infertility, muscular myopathies, Rett syndrome, as well as preterm infants, dialysis patients, and HIV+ individuals ADDIN EN.CITE<EndNote><Cite><Author>Kelly</Auth

L-Arginine is an amino acid (building block of protein) that also provides the nitrogen used to make nitric oxide (NO), once known as endothelial-derived relaxing factor. NO acts on the smooth muscle of the small blood vessels (e.g., in the capillary beds of skeletal muscle) to cause vasodilation and increase blood flow to tissue. (Nitroglycerin, a common treatment for poor coronary artery blood flow, works by producing NO.) Oral arginine (e.g, 5g / day) normalizes NO levels in those with low NO production(1) and may therefore enhance blood flow during and after exercise. Additionally, by impr

True Nutrition's Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AAKG) is a 2:1 mixture of the amino acid arginine and alpha-ketoglutarate. For more information about arginine, go here.   - Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) is the deaminated carbon skeleton (missing the amino group) of the amino acids glutamic acid (aka glutamate) and glutamine. Alpha-ketoglutarate is also an intermediate in the Kreb's cycle, a set of metabolic processes involved in energy (ATP) production from fats and carbohydrates, as well as amino acid metabolism. As such, AKG is an important metabolic link between cellular energy production and pr

The "branched chain" amino acids (BCAA's), leucine, isoleucine and valine are so called because the side chains of these amino acids (the part of the molecule that differentiates the amino acids) are made up of non-linear (branching) carbon chains. The BCAA's are essential amino acids, meaning that they must be consumed in the diet (rather than manufactured in the body) and constitute a more than one third of the amino acid composition of skeletal muscle(1). During high intensity exercise, the BCAA's are oxidized for use as fuel and to maintain oxidative metabolite concentration(2). Supplement

BCAA 2:1:1 Peptides are made by a proprietary process that binds free form branched chain amino acids (BCAA) to BCAA peptides isolated from fresh sweet whey using advanced fractionation and separation technologies. This unique technology results in 50% BCAA content in 2:1:1 ratio of Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. Studies have shown that the peptide version of these aminos are more bioavailable than the free form L- versions.DirectionsAs a dietary supplement, mix 1-2 servings of material with approximately 12-16 floz of your favorite beverage. Stir, and enjoy!IngredientsBCAA Peptides (Milk).Ad

Beta-alanine is the rate-limiting precursor of carnosine, which is to say carnosine levels are limited by the amount of available beta-alanine. Supplementation with beta-alanine has been shown to increase the concentration of carnosine in muscles, decrease fatigue in athletes and increase total muscular work done. This is due to the buffering of hydrogen ions (H+) by the carnosine which keep the muscles from reaching too high of an acid level and forcing premature ending of the set/performance due to discomfort.IngredientsActive IngredientsBeta-Alanine. Inactive IngredientsMagnesium Stearate,

Citrulline Malate is a nonessential amino acid that is used by the body to increase plasma levels of the amino acid L-Arginine endogenously. Recent studies suggest that the use of Citrulline Malate effectively raises L-Arginine plasma levels higher than the measured effects while using the same dose of L-Arginine itself. Citrulline Malate also serves to increase nitrogen production, reduce lactic acid and ammonia buildup during exercise resulting in decreased muscle fatigue, and additionally allows for increases in ATP and recovery.
