| Benefits Of Each Ingredient |
| Vitamin A | - Supports vision health, skin health, immune health, and increases antioxidant support
- Supports antioxidant function via decreased inflammatory cytokines (inflammation), decreased reactive oxygen species, and increased L-glutathione production (master antioxidant).
- Supports visual health via increased amounts of plasma vitamin A in macular (eye) tissues.
|
| L-Glutamine | - The most abundant amino acid in skeletal muscle that fuels immune cells, improves exercise recovery, and optimizes gut microbiome.
- Vital for lymphocyte (immune cell) proliferation (growth) and paramount in neutrophil (immune cell) destruction of bacteria.
- Vital for activation of genetic signals that support immune function and vitality.
- Glutamine is utilized by immune cells at high rates during catabolic conditions (post-surgery, sepsis, burns, and extreme exercise.
|
| Taurine | - Supports hydration, increased energy, antioxidant function, and increases fat metabolism during aerobic exercise.
- Supports antioxidant function via combating reactive oxygen species.
- Increases fat metabolism during exercise via enhanced mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (cells using fat as fuel).
|
| L- Arginine | - Natural vasodilator precursor to increased nitric oxide levels.
- Supports immune function by maturation of the T cell (immune cell) receptor zeta (TCR).
- Improves exercise performance via increased stroke volume (blood flow) and increased nutrient delivery to exercising muscle.
- Reduces arterial blood pressure, insulin resistance, and supports fat lipolysis (fat burning).
|
| BCAA 2:1 (Leucine, Valine, Isoleucine) | - Improve exercise performance, increase muscle protein synthesis, prevent muscle tissue break down, supports immunity, gut health, lipid metabolism, and recovery.
- Leucine stimulates muscle protein synthesis (muscle growth) via stimulation of the mTORC1 pathway (genetic pathway for cell growth) even in a caloric deficit.
- Suppresses muscle degradative pathway (muscle tissue break down) during times of catabolism and caloric deficit.
- Leucine stimulates muscle growth in sarcopenic elderly individuals that have increased leucine needs.
- Acts as a regulator to promote intestinal development, nutrient transporters, and immune-related function.
|
| L-Citrulline | - Supports cardiovascular health and exercise performance by increasing production of l-arginine.
- Increases nitric oxide production, improves exercise performance, and increases blood flow to exercising skeletal muscle.
- Supports strength increases, exercise endurance, and recovery.
- May reduce blood pressure by increasing vascular function.
|
| L-Theanine | - A unique non-protein amino acid found in green tea (Camellia sinensis).
- Supports mood, mental clarity, and cognitive health, memory, and is a natural anti-depressant/neuroprotective agent.
- Aids as an antidepressant due to partial antagonism for the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor manifesting its cognitive optimizing effects.
- Reduces the neuropsychiatric side effects of chronic adolescent THC exposure.
|
| L-Tyrosine | - Supports memory, cognitive flexibility, the executive function of the brain, and convergent thinking.
- A precursor to dopamine and is vital for dopamine synthesis in the brain.
- Supports cognitive function in individuals with high amounts of stress and anxiety.
- Increases dopamine levels in highly stressed individuals.
|
| L- Lysine | - Supports reduced anxiety via decreases in plasma cortisol concentrations.
- Supports skin health, immune health, antioxidant function, reduced anxiety, and energy production.
|
| L-Histidine | |
| Caffeine | - Optimizes energy, cognitive function, and mental alertness.
- Supplementation with caffeine has been shown to acutely enhance exercise performance.
|
| Green Tea Extract | - Supports cardiovascular health via reduced atherosclerosis, inhibiting lipid peroxidation, and improved endothelial vascular function.
- Supports increased nitric oxide production, reduces blood pressure, reduces DNA damage, increases collagen production, increases bone strength, and aids as a neuroprotective agent.
- Supports antioxidant function via modulation of antioxidant enzyme expression, protection against oxidative damage, and reduced reactive oxygen species.
|
| Theobromine | - Supports increased energy and cognitive function.
|
| L-Threonine | - Supports digestive health via restoration of mucin synthesis and stabilization of gut microbiota.
