6623 L-Lysine 500mg   250 tabs -   11/27

6623 L-Lysine 500mg 250 tabs - 11/27

$24.30

L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that the body is unable to synthesize. It is an important amino acid found mostly in foods of animal origin and therefore usually low in individuals on vegan/vegetarian type diet. Lysine is essential for healthy collagen. Collagen is the underlying structural material of all soft tissue in the body. This makes lysine important for the production of healthy blood vessels, skin, cartilage, tendons, and other important structural components of the body. We also need lysine to make carnitine. Our L-Lysine is the highest quality free-form L-lysine available.†



Features
Also available in a 1,000mg tablet.
Free-form amino acid.
Vegetarian
Gluten-free


Benefits
L-Lysine is essential for normal, healthy collagen cross-linking which helps support the overall structure of collagen-containing structures such as skin, blood vessels, cartilage, tendons, etc.†
Important for the synthesis of carnitine. Carnitine is essential for the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria of the cell where they are oxidized for energy (ATP).
Particularly important for vegetarians & vegans who may be lacking in dietary sources of lysine.†

6632 L-Carnitine 500mg 60 tabs - 03/27

6632 L-Carnitine 500mg 60 tabs - 03/27

$36.90

L-carnitine is a non-essential amino acid that can be synthesized in the body from the amino acids methionine and lysine. Insufficient amounts may be produced in infants, adolescents, and adults under certain physiological conditions. Vegetarians could also be at risk for carnitine deficiency, as carnitine is found in higher concentrations in animal foods such as beef, poultry, and pork. The amino acids that are required for the body to make carnitine (methionine and lysine) are also low in a vegetarian diet. The highest concentrations of L- carnitine are typically found in skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue. This tissue is incapable of synthesizing L-carnitine, so they depend upon dietary and supplemental sources as well as the body’s own ability to manufacture it. Studies show that exercising (skeletal) muscle and heart muscle requires large amounts of L-carnitine. The main function of L-L-carnitine is to help create energy. Cardiac (heart) and skeletal muscle have a significant energy requirement, hence the importance of L-carnitine for these tissues.†



Features
Provides 500mg L-carnitine per tablet along with vitamin B6.
Featuring trademarked L-Carnipure® from Lonza, a world leader in L-carnitine research and manufacturing. Many of the studies done on L-carnitine have used L-Carnipure®.


Benefits
L-carnitine is essential for the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria (the energy powerhouse of the cell) where they can be used to make energy to be used by the cells.†
L-carnitine has been shown to help support healthy cardiovascular function, especially the efficiency of the heart muscle which uses fat as its major source of energy.†
L-carnitine helps provide energy for exercising muscle, supporting exercise performance.†
Studies show L-carnitine helps support normal, healthy blood triglyceride levels.†

6641 L-5-HTP 100mg  30 caps - 12/27

6641 L-5-HTP 100mg 30 caps - 12/27

$14.90

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid required by the body to make the neurotransmitter serotonin. The body uses tryptophan to make 5-HTP, and then this gets converted into serotonin. Oftentimes this process is not efficient and does not produce adequate serotonin. Therefore, an increased intake of 5-HTP becomes important. Numerous scientific studies show 5-HTP is of benefit in individuals with mood disorders. Our 5-HTP is from the seeds of the Griffonia simplicifolia plant. 5-HTP has many advantages over L-tryptophan: besides being safer to produce and arguably more potent, it can cross the very selective blood-brain barrier more easily than L-tryptophan. Once it passes through the blood-brain barrier it is able to help increase levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter, whose levels are positively associated with mood.



Features
Provides 100mg of 5-Hydroxytryptophan.
Sourced from European standardized Griffonia bean extract.
Contains synergistic nutrients vitamin C and B6.


Benefits
5-HTP is more efficient at crossing the blood-brain barrier, therefore it is a more effective way to support the synthesis of serotonin in the brain.†
Serotonin is responsible for regulating appetite and mood, and serves as a precursor to melatonin – a hormone involved in regulating the sleep cycle.†
Serotonin helps support a more balanced emotional state.†
5-HTP is a more efficient way to increase serotonin levels, as tryptophan must compete with other amino acids as part of protein in the diet for absorption. Some of the tryptophan is used to make the vitamin niacin, and may be taken up by cells other than brain cells as a source of amino acids.
Studies show 5-HTP is safe and effective for supporting mood, healthy food intake, and a better outlook on life.†

6691 Tyrosine 500mg 60 caps - 1/29

6691 Tyrosine 500mg 60 caps - 1/29

$15.10

L-Tyrosine is one of the amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. It is part of the chemical reactions in your body that create the neurotransmitter dopamine and other hormones. The body makes tyrosine from another amino acid called phenylalanine. Tyrosine can also be found in dairy products, meats, fish, eggs, nuts, beans, oats, and wheat. Tyrosine is essential for several important biochemical/ physiological functions related to thyroid, brain, and skin health. Our L-Tyrosine is in the free form and includes the synergistic benefits of vitamin B6.



Features
Provides 500 mg L-tyrosine per serving.
Easy to swallow capsule.
Includes vitamin B6 which is required for tyrosine synthesis.
Gluten-free


Benefits
Tyrosine is required for the synthesis of the neurotransmitters dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine; all of which play a significant role in normal, healthy nervous system function.†
Tyrosine serves as a precursor to the skin, eye, and hair pigment melanin. Melanocytes convert tyrosine into melanin.†
PKU (phenylketonuria) is a genetic disorder where phenylalanine cannot be metabolized, causing it to build up. This typically causes damage to the central nervous system. In these individuals, tyrosine becomes a conditionally-essential amino acid that needs to be consumed in the diet.†
The body uses tyrosine to make thyroxine, a thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormones are made up mostly of tyrosine with iodine molecules attached to it. Thyroid hormones help control the body’s metabolic processes.†

6752 Lecithin Granules 16oz 8/25

6752 Lecithin Granules 16oz 8/25

$9.48

Lecithin is a natural emulsifier found in many foods. It is often found in foods such as mayonnaise (a mixture of fat and water-soluble substances) where eggs which contain lecithin act as an emulsifying agent to keep them mixed together rather than separated such as what happens in a mixture of oil and vinegar due to a lack of an emulsifier like lecithin. Our lecithin is derived from soybeans. Lecithin from soy is an excellent source of phospholipids. These compounds play important structural and functional roles in the cell, particularly the cell membrane. About 60% of the dry weight of the brain is composed of phospholipids, hence their importance in brain structure and function. As part of the structure of brain cell membranes, phospholipids help support neurotransmitter and hormone function, as they provide the environment that cells need for cell to cell communication and overall cell function. Phosphatidylcholine is a good source of choline, which is needed to support neurotransmitter production, essential for the normal, healthy functioning of the nervous system. Lecithin has also been studied for its role in helping to support healthy cholesterol metabolism, fat digestion, and metabolism, thereby providing support for healthy cholesterol levels.†



Features
Excellent source of phospholipids and fatty acids.
Rich in phospholipids – particularly phosphatidylcholine.
Granules provide about 7 grams of lecithin with about 2 grams of phosphatidylcholine per serving.
Also available as softgels.


Benefits
Excellent source of phosphatidylcholine (PC), an important phospholipid that is a significant component of the cell membrane particularly that of nerve cells including the brain.
PC is also a source of choline which is used by the body to make the important neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
Lecithin is also a source of other phospholipids including phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylethanolamine. Both of these compounds are critical to normal, healthy cell function.†
Phosphatidylcholine provides a source of choline which the body uses to manufacture acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in numerous neurological mechanisms including cell to cell communication, particularly as it relates to learning and short term memory.†
PC levels have been shown to decline with age, therefore supplementation becomes even more important as we age.†
PC has also been shown to help support normal, healthy liver and gall bladder function.†

$21.90

Incomplete or partial digestion of foods can lead to uncomfortable side effects, and contribute to nutrient deficiencies. Symptoms such as intestinal gas, bloating, cramping, and heartburn are obvious, but poor absorption of nutrients can go unnoticed. Superzymes is a multi-enzyme formula containing both animal and plant-derived enzymes, designed to support normal, healthy digestion of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.†



Features
Contains betaine HCL, a form of hydrochloric acid.
Provides pepsin, bromelain and papain to help support protein digestion.
Ox bile extract helps to emulsify fat, preparing it for digestion.
Pancreatin is a combination of digestive enzymes that help to break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.


Benefits
Betaine HCL is a mild form of hydrochloric acid which helps to support the digestive process, particularly the beginning of protein digestion before food moves on to the intestines.†
Betaine HCL helps eliminate potential pathogens found in foods and beverages.
Aging and medications such as antacids can reduce the production and effectiveness of HCL, which may exacerbate digestive problems and other essential nutrients.
HCL is especially important for the absorption of many nutrients including calcium, folic acid, B12, and iron.
Besides nutrient deficiency, a reduction in HCL can slow down the digestive process, resulting in food remaining in the stomach for a longer period of time, often leading to digestive discomfort.
Pepsin is an enzyme that begins the process of protein digestion in the stomach.
This proteolytic enzyme is designed to function in an environment where there are a low pH and high acid content, such as the stomach.†
Bromelain is derived from pineapple, and is a proteolytic enzyme which helps break down protein.†
Papain is derived from papaya and provides an array of proteolytic enzymes to support protein digestion.
Ox bile extract helps to emulsify fat, which prepares it for digestion by fat-digesting enzymes (lipases).†
Pancreatin contains amylase for carbohydrate digestion, protease for protein digestion, and lipase for fat digestion. The combination of these digestive enzymes in pancreatin has been shown to provide significant support to the digestion and absorption of essential nutrients.
