Acetyl L-Carnitine is a form of L-carnitine, only acetylated. It is a very popular dietary supplement derived from amino acids, methionine and lysine. L-carnitine helps fatty acids to cross the membrane of the mitochondria and become available for usage. ALCAR, which is an alternate name for acetyl L-carnitine, is currently under research for possible treatment of Parkinson’s disease and cerebral ischemia. Neuroprotective benefits have been already attributed to ALCAR, but also assistance in cases of Peyronie’s disease, strokes and in treatment of depression. In food it is very much present in Beef and other red meats, in smaller quantities in mushrooms and carrots. Scientific studies have verified that regular supplements of L-carnitine improve the energy metabolism and can promote the neurotransmitter functions in brains of elderly people.

Alpha-Glycerylphorylcholine has shown indications of reducing HGH, which is affiliated with general muscle wasting. It is also significant for reducing energy loss and low stamina.

Alphatrophin- Alphatrophin complex is one the vital constituents found in a popular, rejuvenating nutritional supplement. It believed that dietary supplements containing Alphatrophin provide various health benefits such as increased muscle tone and stamina, reduction in body fat, improved sex drive and enhanced memory. Alphatrophin along with various other ingredients like GPC and anterior pituitary stimulants, indicate an increase in the levels of natural HGH which otherwise tends to decrease with age. The youth enhancing and anti-aging formulations with Alphatrophin are also available in the form of capsules and are absolutely safe and effective for both, men and women. Factors like gender, age, body weight and other health issues should be considered while deciding the dosage.

Broad Bean contains many nutrients that have a good impact on health. It’s a good source of essential B vitamins, protein, fiber, and iron.  Its intake on daily basis reduces cholesterol levels while providing excellent nutrition. It contains only 2-3 percent fat. Beans form a complete high-fiber vegetable protein when combined with grains, seeds, or nuts. It gives long-lasting energy as they comprise at least 20 percent protein and are high in carbohydrates. Broad beans can help increase L-dopa (L-3, 4-dihydroxyphenylalanine) levels in the body that in turn encourages release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. Regular intake of broad beans can bring blood pressure down. Broad beans paste can treat sores and abscess in the early stage.

GABA or gamma-aminobutyric acid happens to be an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain that is crucial for our well being since it helps induce relaxation and sleep. As such, it performs the role of a balancer for the brain by balancing excitation of the brain with inhibition. There is more to GABA than its balancing effects. GABA has a major impact on muscle building and fat prevention due to its effect on HGH levels. GABA stimulates the anterior pituitary thereby increasing Human Growth Hormone (HGH) levels. HGH has anabolic and lipotropic properties and GABA thus indirectly causes these two positive effects in the body. However, people taking GABA supplementation may experience certain side effects that may range from tingling sensations around the face and neck area to mild change in breathing patterns or heart rate. Thankfully, these side effects are not harmful and subside quickly.

Glycine is an organic compound and one of the 20 amino acids deemed as building blocks for proteins. This proteinogenic amino acid is not only the smallest but also the only amino acid of the group that is not chiral, which means there is no enantiomer of glycine. With the prominent exception of collagen, which thirty five percent are glycine, most proteins contain only small amounts of it. As a solid, glycine is sweet tasting, crystalline and has no color. Despite being non-essential, because it can be biosynthesized from the amino acid serine, glycine has several important physiological functions, besides being a precursor to proteins. It is a biosynthetic intermediate of purines and the D-Aminolevulinic acid and it is an inhibitory neurotransmitter found in the central nervous system.

Glycoamino Acid-Glucose Complex is a saccharide attached to glucose molecule. This makes it more easily digested in by the intestines and easily transported into the system for maximum efficiency and benefits. It gives the body more energy, strength and vigor. It also speeds up the recovery after a strenuous exercise. It helps the muscle tissues to heal. Glycoamino Acid-Glucose Complex also improves the cardiovascular output and maintains blood pressure and blood sugar level. It also enhances the formation of muscle tissues, building a firmer set of muscles. It also has antioxidant properties that improve the skin and fights free radical damages. It also helps improve the immune system.

L-Arginine refers to the amino acid having numerous functions and this helps the body in getting rid of ammonia. This is useful in making compounds such as creatine, L-proline and L-glutamate. This is easily converted into glycogen and glucose, if required. L-arginine is useful in making nitric oxide. L-arginine helps in improving the relaxed blood vessels such as erectile dysfunction and atherosclerosis. L-arginine is effective in protein formation as well and this stimulates the hormones growth and prolactin. L-arginine is useful in making nitric oxide that decreases the stiffness in the blood vessels and enhances the blood flow thereby improving the blood vessel functions. L-arginine is strictly prevented from using after a heart attack. L-arginine is useful for erectile dysfunction that relaxes the muscles that is enveloping the blood vessels supporting the penis. The blood vessels dilate in the penis and increase the flow of blood and helps in maintaining the erection. L-arginine repairs wound. However, L-arginine is produced in the liver and kidney and the food sources are dairy products, nuts, poultry, fish and meat.

L-Glutamine- Glutamine is an amino acid which is responsible for a multitude of biochemical functions in humans. L-Glutamine is generally found in dietary sources such as chicken, beef, eggs, milk and dairy products, fish, spinach, wheat, parsley, cabbages, beans and beets. Glutamine is apparently the most common amino acid occurring naturally, furthermore this non essential amino acid is one of just a few, which are able to directly cross the blood brain barrier. In the human body, L-Glutamine is found in the skeletal muscles, but also in the blood. Besides the vital biological functions, such as fuel for brain, blocking cortisol induced protein catabolism, immune function assistance, protein synthesis and in DNA synthesis, L-Glutamine is used as a supplement for ailing and injured, improving recovery, but also as muscle growth agent in body building and athletic circles.

L-Lysine- Lysine is an essential alpha amino acid that needs to be ingested and cannot be synthesized by the human body. Sources of L-Lysine include meat, particularly red meat, lamb, poultry and pork, but also cheeses, like parmesan, some fish like cod and sardines and eggs. Several plants are rich in L-Lysine, soybean, lentil, spinach and buckwheat, but also buffalo gourd, watercress, locust bean and many other bean variants, including the common bean. L-Lysine is deemed vital for the overall production of protein, as a structural building block. It seems that L-Lysine also plays a prominent part in the absorption of calcium. Further properties include playing a role in the production of enzymes, hormones and antibodies, but also in the recovery from sports injuries and surgeries.

Ornithine Ketoglutarate (OKG) is Ornithine Ketoglutarate and this is a compound. An amino acid composed of Ornithine and Ketoglutaric Acid exhibits natural energy and represents to be the stimulator of energy, muscle health and vitality. OKG severely helps traumatized patients such as burn victims. OKG is useful in limiting the breakdown of proteins as well as muscle loss that is the result of trauma. OKG is of immense use in supporting immune function and cardiovascular health. The nutritional products are taken, yet the muscle deterioration is being balanced. Doctors and scientists have made optimum use of OKG. It is a safe compound having natural ingredients and significantly promotes the synthesis of proteins and heals the burn victims. It is found to be highly safe and effective for health. This is in use in Europe for over 20 years and is also of clinical interest. As it promotes the muscle health it is popular among bodybuilders. Stress, trauma gets decreased owing to the hormones function.

Stevia is perhaps the sweetest response to diabetes being the only natural sweetener available in the market. This South American native sweetener plant is being used for more than four hundred years in Paraguay and other countries worldwide. This plant belongs to the sunflower family and as such has no side effects. It is a great sugar replacement ideal for both diabetic as well as health conscious people. Its raw leaves are about thirty five to forty times sweeter than regular sugar, while its extract is almost three hundred times sweeter than sugar. It can be used to: Reduce blood sugar Tooth decay (it is therefore a safe alternative for sugar in tooth pastes) Reduce wrinkles if used like a face pack with rose water
