CARNITINE COMPLEX (L-Carnitine L-Tartrate)
Carnitine supplementation combined with intense training, has been shown to support healthy testosterone levels, post-workout. This is achieved via interactions with the abundance of testosterone receptors inside muscle cells. Studies also show that carnitine can influence growth hormone receptors and IGF-1 levels. In addition to its effects on muscle-building hormones, carnitine can further support muscle growth and recovery by decreasing the production of free radicals. By neutralizing the negative effects of free radicals, carnitine has the ability to further reduce muscle tissue damage and soreness after exercise, while improving overall muscle cell iomechanics.CARNITINE COMPLEX (L-Carnitine L-Tartrate) Carnitine supplementation combined with intense training, has been shown to support healthy testosterone levels, post-workout.

By neutralizing the negative effects of free radicals, carnitine has the ability to further reduce muscle tissue damage and soreness after exercise, while improving overall muscle cell biomechanics.
Carnitine can support exercise and athletic performance by way of its actions on muscle glycogen storage and ATP production. Carnitine also supports performance by improving the buffering capacity of muscles during exercise by maintaining the pH balance inside the muscle, and by minimizing the build up of hydrogen ions.
BCAA COMPLEX (L-Leucine, L-Valine, L-Isoleucine)
Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) play a key role in protein synthesis (a.k.a. muscle growth). A countless number of scientific studies have confirmed the effects that BCAAs have on muscle growth at the cellular level.
BCAAs can improve performance by having a glycogen sparing effect during exercise. Research shows that BCAAs spare muscle and liver glycogen stores
and increase fuel supply to working muscles during exercise. The other way that BCAAs can improve performance is by supporting a reduction in central nervous system (CNS) fatigue during intense exercise.
GLUTAMINE COMPLEX (L-Glutamine)
Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in the body and research shows that intense exercise can decrease plasma glutamine levels, impeding recovery. Scientists believe that a decline in glutamine levels can cause a cascade of negative effects, which can easily be corrected with glutamine supplementation. In addition to its recovery benefits, glutamine also has cell volumization properties that can help trigger protein synthesis and support
proper hydration of muscle cells.
CORTISOL CONTROL COMPLEX (L-Theanine)
L-theanine is a unique free form amino acid with anti-catabolic properties. Research studies show that oral administration of L-theanine can increase the production of alpha waves in the brain, reducing catabolic hormone release and prevent muscle breakdown.
