L-Cysteine is a non-essential amino acid that is an important component of hair, nails and the keratin of the skin.

L-Cysteine stabilizes protein structure and aids in the formation of collagen, thereby promoting healthy skin, hair and nail texture.

It is used in the treatment of respiratory disorders such as chronic bronchitis.

It stimulates white blood cell activity in the immune system to help build resistance to disease.

Amino Acids are the building blocks of muscles and are essential to help create and maintain positive nitrogen balance, which is important for new muscle growth. Amino acids also play a key role in preventing catabolic breakdown of muscle proteins, which help to rebuild muscle tissue after intensive exercise.

L-Carnitine is found most often in meat and meat extract. In the human body, L-Carnitine is found abundantly in heart and skeletal muscle. It can be synthesized in the human liver, but insufficient amounts are produced in infants, in adolescents and in adults under certain physiological conditions. Two essential amino acids, lysine and methionine, are required for L-Carnitine bioynthesis,. Vitamin C, Iron, Vitamin B6 and Niacin are also involved in a sequence of enzymatically catalyzed reactions. It is evident that a lack of availability of any of these essential nutrients would greatly impair the body’s ability to synthesize L-Carnitine.

L-Carnitine is used extensively in sports nutrition to provide nutritional support for producing energy in the heart and muscles, to raise energy, endurance and stamina during heavy exercise, to improve performance during physical efforts, to compensate for losses incurred after exhaustive exercise, to increase resistance to fatigue and to effect fast recovery. Supplementing with L-Carnitine lowers lactic acid accumulation and spares glycogen, which are two factors that cause fatigue. Reduced muscle pain and decreased muscle damage are thought to be attributed to L-Carnitine’s ability to help increase oxygen supply to the muscle through an increase in blood flow.

• Energize
• Hydrate
• Focus
• Repair

Amino Vital helps to restore energy used during workouts or physical activity. Amino vital has lots of branch chain amino acids (BCAAs) giving you greater endurance and performance. Extra BCAAs help you to maintain focus during a race or physical sport, allowing you to stay focused on your goals. After a race or activity, it is important to recover quickly so you can continue to train again. Amino Vital does just that with added arginine and glutamine.

Why Amino Acids?

Amino acids are not only the building blocks of protein, they are also the fundamental "construction material" of muscles, vital organs and virtually every other part of your body. During exercise, these essential nutrients serve as a critical source of energy, providing and replenishing the nutrition needed for exertion and, ultimately life itself.
480 g

Drink 2-3 20 oz servings before, during, and after workouts to maintain sdequate hydration, support peak performance and optimize recovery.
Energizes, While Combating Fatigue
Rich in BCAAs as well as arginine and glutamine, Amino Vital delivers the power your muscles need for sustained exertion. Studies also show that this unique combination of amino acids results in lower creatine kinase (CK-MM) levels in the bloodstream, which can be a symptom of muscle damage and exhaustion.

Ensures Fast Absorption to Help Prevent Dehydration
Requiring no digestion, Amino Vital passes from the stomach into the intestines and from there to the rest of your body as quickly as possible. In addition, the osmotic pressure of Amino Vital is designed to allow a fast but steady rate of absorption, so more fluid reaches your body tissues when you need it most.

Increases Fat Burning with Exercise
Amino Vital encourages fat burning by helping your muscles perform at peak efficiency and thus burn more fat calories. Over the long term, an increased muscle-to-fat ratio results in a higher metabolism, making it much easier to take — and keep — weight off.

Helps Maintain Focus during Workouts
A plentiful supply of BCAAs supports the psychological effect of "focus" during exercise. When your body is low on BCAAs, there’s a relative increase in production of the potent brain neurotransmitter serotonin, which makes you feel sleepy and unfocused. Amino Vital ensures optimum levels of BCAAs, so serotonin won’t get in the way of workout.

Fat Burner
L-Carnitine plays a critical metabolic role in stimulating weight loss as it helps transport fats to the mitochondria where they are burned for energy.

Boost Endurance & Performance
Clinical research has shown L-Carnitine supports athletic performance and endurance. Through a greater reliance on fat for energy, the body reduces depletion of muscle glycogen. This combined with the reduction of lactic acid accumulation in muscles can extend exercise capacity before fatigue.

Heart Healthy
There are a variety of published studies showing L-Carnitine is useful in increasing the heart's output, improving it's function, stimulating it's energy supply and improving cardiac performance.

Glutamine is the most abundant single amino acid in the blood and in the intracellular free amino acid pool (most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue). It comprises 61% of the amino acid pool in skeletal muscle. Glutamine’s unique structure, containing two nitrogen side chains, consists of 19% nitrogen - making it the primary transporter of nitrogen into the muscle cell. In fact, glutamine alone is responsible for 35% of the nitrogen that gets into the muscle cell. Glutamine literally drives muscle building nitrogen into the muscle cell where it is synthesized for growth.

Glutamine concentrations fall markedly after training and remain low until complete recovery. What this means is, the very rigors of weight training “leak” nitrogen carrying glutamine from muscle tissue. This fall in glutamine is catabolic to muscle tissue “The Training Paradox”. Supplementing with glutamine spares free glutamine in muscle tissue, counteracts the fall in muscle protein synthesis, and improves nitrogen balance. Glutamine overcomes “The Training Paradox”.

Glutamine is a key factor in muscle growth, and controlling the “skeletal muscle/whole body glutamine gradient” is critical in maintaining and building muscle tissue. The higher the muscle glutamine levels you can maintain, the less chance you have of falling into catabolism and the faster muscle will grow. But now there is more .

By keeping a consistently high level of circulating growth hormone, you are able to combat the catabolic effects of weight training, harness the anabolic activity of increased glucose and amino acid uptake, improve whole body nitrogen retention, and increase lean tissue protein accrual. Supplementing with GL3 L-Glutamine may just be the most effective way of assisting new muscle growth!
