L-Carnitine's main function in the body is in its ability to regulate fat metabolism. It helps to transport long-chain fatty acids across membranes to energy-burning parts of cells. It is a major source of energy for the muscles. Studies have also shown that L-Carnitine may provide some benefits for people with heart disease, muscular dystrophy, and chronic fatigue.
Amino acids are organic compounds that make up the ""building blocks"" of protein. They are necessary for the body to product hair, skin, blood and more. L-Arginine is one of the most important amino acids and it plays a major role in building the immune system, promoting muscle growth and healing, increasing sperm counts, protecting the liver and more. Each capsule of Vitabase L-Arginine contains 500 mg of L-Arginine. We also include Vitamin B-6 in our formula because it plays a major role in metabolizing amino acids."
L-Glutamine is a free amino acid found that is very common in the muscles of the body. Because it can easily pass the blood-brain barrier, it provides fuel to the brain which is converted to glutamic acid--an essential element for cerebral function. Bodybuilders and dieters commonly use L-Glutamine to help maintain muscle mass. Our L-Glutamine is a pure crystalline, free form amino acid. Each tablet contains 500 mg of L-Glutamine.
L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that is necessary for building proteins. It helps with bone growth, tissue repair, fighting disease, and production of hormones. Because lysine is an essential amino acid, it cannot be manufactured by the body. It is important that a person consume L-Lysine through diet and supplementation.
Tyrosine is an important amino acid for maintaining a healthy metabolism. It is involved with neurotransmitters in the brain. It works to encourage alertness, relieve stress and reduce the physical effects of tension. Low levels of Tyrosine have been associated with hypothyroidism. Symptoms of tyrosine deficiency can also include low blood pressure, low body temperature and restless legs. Each capsule contains 500 mg of L-Tyrosine and 15 mg of Vitamin B-6 which is an important vitamin for metabolizing amino acids.
