Amino acids are the natural compounds that are used as building blocks by the body to create proteins. Amino acids, and the proteins that are made from them, are crucial to helping the body break down food, repair body tissue, grow and perform many other bodily functions. They are found in foods such as meats, fish, and soybeans. Some people also use amino acid injections and supplements to boost athletic performance or improve their mood. Amino acids are categorized into three groups: essential, nonessential, and conditional. Essential amino acids cannot be made within the body and must come from external sources, such as diet or supplements. Nonessential amino acids are produced within the body, and conditional amino acids are usually produced within the body. During periods of stress, illness, or injury,
the body may not be able to create enough of these, and they become essential amino acids that require external supplementation.
The Amino Blend contains essential and conditionally essential amino acids, including:
- L-Arginine (100 mg/mL)
- L-Citrulline (50 mg/mL)
- L-Lysine (50 mg/mL)
- L-Proline (50 mg/mL)
Amino acids are fundamental for protein synthesis, metabolism, muscle recovery, and overall cellular function. This blend is commonly used in wellness, athletic performance, and recovery protocols.
Benefits of the Amino Blend

- L-Arginine & Citrulline enhance vasodilation, improving blood flow and oxygen
delivery. - Beneficial for cardiovascular health, athletic endurance, and blood pressure regulation.
- L-Arginine & Citrulline enhance vasodilation, improving blood flow and oxygen
- Enhances Athletic Performance & Muscle Recovery
- L-Arginine & Lysine contribute to muscle protein synthesis and reduce muscle fatigue.
- Proline aids in collagen production, benefiting joints, tendons, and connective tissues.
- Helps in reducing muscle soreness and enhancing recovery post-workout.
- Boosts Immune Function & Wound Healing
- L-Lysine plays a crucial role in immune support, especially against viral infections like herpes simplex.
- Proline & Arginine contribute to tissue repair and wound healing, making it useful post-surgery or injury.
- Supports Detoxification & Metabolism
- L-Arginine helps with ammonia clearance via the urea cycle, preventing toxic buildup in the body.
- Citrulline assists in removing metabolic waste products like lactic acid.
- Cognitive & Mood Support
- L-Arginine & Lysine influence neurotransmitter production, potentially aiding in stress management, mood balance, and cognitive function.
Powerful Antioxidant
- ALA neutralizes harmful free radicals, protecting cells from oxidative stress and reducing inflammation.
- It is both water- and fat-soluble, allowing it to work in all parts of the body.
Supports Blood Sugar Regulation
- Enhances insulin sensitivity and helps reduce blood sugar levels.
- Beneficial for managing Type 2 diabetes and reducing diabetic complications, such as neuropathy.
Protects Nerve Health
- Improves symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, such as tingling, burning, and pain, especially in diabetics.
- Promotes nerve regeneration and repair.
Promotes Skin Health
- Reduces signs of aging by protecting skin cells from oxidative damage.
- Can improve skin elasticity, reduce fine lines, and promote a healthy glow.
Supports Heart Health
- Reduces oxidative stress and inflammation that contribute to heart disease.
- Helps improve cholesterol levels and enhances blood vessel function.
Enhances Brain Function
- Crosses the blood-brain barrier and protects brain cells from oxidative damage.
- May reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s by preventing plaque buildup and reducing inflammation.
Aids in Detoxification
- Supports liver health by neutralizing toxins and promoting detoxification processes.
- Chelates heavy metals like mercury, cadmium, and arsenic from the body.
May Aid Weight Loss
- Improves metabolism and promotes the breakdown of fat for energy.
- Can help reduce appetite and support weight management.
Improves Eye Health
Protects against oxidative damage in the eyes, potentially reducing the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration.
