Vitamins, Minerals, Amino Acids

What are they used for?

Vitamins

Vitamin B1 (Thiamin)

helps prevent complications in the nervous system, brain, muscles, heart, stomach, and intestines. It is also involved in the flow of electrolytes into and out of muscle and nerve cells.

Vitamin B3 (Niacin)

helps the body make various sex and stress-related hormones in the adrenal glands and other parts of the body. It helps improve circulation and has been shown to suppress inflammation.

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)

helps break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. It plays a vital role in maintaining the body’s energy supply by converting carbohydrates into adenosine triphosphate (or ATP) which is the body’s main source of energy.

Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid)

plays a role in the breakdown of fats and carbohydrates for energy as well as playing a critical role in the manufacture of red blood cells, and sex and stress-related hormones in the adrenal glands.

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine)

is an important vitamin for brain development and keeping the nervous system and immune systems healthy. It also improves mood. It is a significant vitamin for protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism as well as creating of red blood cells and neurotransmitters.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)

is a vitamin used as an antioxidant in the body to help wounds heal, enhance absorption of iron and support the immune system. It can also help the body maintain bone and teeth health, make collagen, skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels.

Minerals

Magnesium

is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in muscle function, as well as nervous system and energy production. Helps maintain bone health, blood sugar and blood pressure. Can reduce stress and improve symptoms of anxiety and depression. May improve sleep.

Zinc

is necessary for almost 100 enzymes to cary out vital reactions within the body. It is a major player in the creation of DNA, growing cells, building proteins, healing damaged tissues and supporting a healthy immune system. Your body only needs a small amount of this for these functions.

Manganese

is found in the bones, liver, kidneys, and pancreas. It helps the body form connective tissues, bones, blood clotting factors, and sex hormones. Plays a role in fat and carbohydrate metabolism, calcium absorption, and blood sugar regulation.

Copper

helps make red blood cells and keeps nerve cells and immune system healthy. It helps form collagen which is a key part in bones and connective tissues (skin elasticity). It may also act as an antioxidant, reducing free radicals that damage cells and DNA. It also plays a role in iron absorption.

Amino Acids

Glutamine

is important for removing excess ammonia (a waste product in the body) as well as helping your immune system function and is used in normal brain function and digestion..

Arginine

helps the body build proteins. It also releases nitric oxide into the blood which widens the blood vessels which improves circulation. It also induces the release of insulin into the body which improves blood sugar

Ornithine

is used in the body to make other amino acids like polyamides which play a role in cell growth and proliferation as well as proline which is used to make collagen. It is suggested that it can improve athletic performance by reducing elevated levels of ammonia

Lysine

is one of the building blocks of proteins. It is important for proper growth and plays an essential role in the production of carnitine which is a nutrient responsible for converting fatty acids into energy and lowering cholesterol

Citrulline

boots nitric oxide production in the body which helps relax your arteries improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure and well as increasing muscle building and strength.
