New Roots L-Tryptophan ʟ‑Tryptophan is the amino acid that serves as the precursor for the synthesis of serotonin to promote healthy moods and sleep cycles.ʟ‑Tryptophan is an essential amino acid—“essential” means the body can’t synthesize it and must acquire it through diet. This amino acid is pivotal for the production of serotonin and niacin. Serotonin stabilize both mood and sleep patterns; niacin regulates digestive function for optimal metabolism of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.Supplementation with ʟ‑tryptophan can also increase levels of the chemical messengers dopamine and norepinephrine, neurotransmitters that affect pleasure and alertness.New Roots Herbal’s L‑Tryptophan is an excellent choice to supplement levels of the critical amino acid that deplete as we age and can prove useful for insomnia, mood enhancement, and overall wellbeing.DIRECTIONS OF USEAdults: Take 1 capsule daily or as directed by your health-care practitioner.INGREDIENTSEach vegetable capsule contains:ʟ‑Tryptophan 220 mgOther ingredients: Microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide in a non‑GMO vegetable capsule composed of vegetable carbohydrate gum and purified water.

An non-essential amino acid that is involved in protein synthesis Vegetarian / Vegan L-Proline is an amino acid that is essential for the synthesis of collagen, the most abundant protein in mammals. Collagen is the main structural protein that constitutes all human connective tissues, including skin, tendons, ligaments, joints, bone, and vasculature (veins and arteries). L-Proline therefore provides building blocks that help to stabilize and strengthen the structural components of the body. Although proline can be made in the body, low protein and vegetarian diets may not provide optimal support for the production of collagen. NOW® L-Proline is 100% vegetarian.DIRECTIONSAdult Dosage: Take 1 capsule 2 times daily on an empty stomach.INGREDIENTSEach capsule contains:L-Proline 500 mgNon-Medicinal Ingredients:Veg Capsule (hypromellose and water), Stearic Acid (vegetable source), and Silica.RISK INFORMATIONDo not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Supports and maintains protein metabolism Vegetarian / Vegan Ornithine is a non-essential amino acid that plays a central role in the urea cycle, functioning along with Arginine and Citrulline to rid the body of ammonia, a byproduct of protein metabolism. Because Ornithine is converted into Arginine, it can help to maintain healthy Arginine levels in the body. Ornithine can also be converted into other amino acids, such as citrulline, proline, and glutamate, as well as creatine, an important muscular energy source.DIRECTIONS Adult Dosage: Take 2 capsules 2 times daily between meals. Consult a health care practitioner for use beyond 8 weeks.INGREDIENTS Each capsule contains:L-Ornithine (from L-Ornithine Hydrochloride) 500 mgNon-Medicinal Ingredients: Veg Capsule (hypromellose, water), Rice Flour, Magnesium Stearate (vegetable source).RISK INFORMATIONDo not use if you have hypersensitivity to L-Ornithine, or are Ornithine Delta-Aminotransferase deficient, are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Healthy body composition L-carnitine is a nutrient essential for energy production in the muscles, heart, and liver. It promotes healthy body composition by aiding the conversion of fat into energy. Taking supplemental L-carnitine lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease, boosts mental energy, lessens fatigue, improves athletic performance, and shortens exercise recovery time. Uses & Benefits Promotes healthy body composition by helping to convert fat into energy Boosts physical and mental energy Enhances overall well-being by lessening fatigue Improves athletic performance and speeds muscle recovery after exercise Reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease Medicinal Ingredients: Each Capsule Contains:   L-Carnitine (Tartrate) 500 mg Non-medicinal Ingredients Vegetarian capsule (carbohydrate gum [cellulose], purified water), silica, microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable grade magnesium stearate (lubricant). Advanced Info Carnitine plays a key role in fat metabolism and energy production and concentrates in the body in skeletal muscle, and the heart, liver, and kidneys. Carnitine improves endurance and athletic performance and promotes healthy body composition by aiding the conversion of fat into energy. On a cellular level carnitine is critical for metabolic processes that produce energy, such as converting ketones and branched-chain amino acids into energy. Carnitine is also a potent antioxidant.The levels of carnitine and its derivatives in the body are critical for normal biological functioning. A deficiency of carnitine is associated with impaired growth and development in infants, neuromuscular disorders, muscle fatigue, and lethargy.Carnitine enhances cognition, lessens fatigue, and boosts physical and mental energy. By increasing oxygen consumption at the cellular level and decreasing lactic acid production, carnitine may improve athletic performance and muscle recovery. Recommended use L-carnitine is an amino acid found in high concentrations in heart and liver tissues where, inside the cells, it helps transform fats into energy.  Supplementation with L-carnitine may support appetite control, cardiovascular health, exercise performance and recovery.  Helps support muscle tissue repair in individuals involved in resistance training. Recommended dose Recommended adult dose: 2 capsules 2 times daily with meals or as directed by a health care practitioner.

Emotional well-being 5-HTP is an amino acid vital to the production of the neurotransmitter serotonin. Low serotonin is linked to many common conditions including depression, sleeplessness, migraines, and fibromyalgia. By improving serotonin levels, Natural Factors 5-HTP can help support emotional well-being, improve sleep quality, relieve the pain of fibromyalgia, prevent migraines, and curb appetite. Uses & Benefits Helps improve mood Combats insomnia by improving sleep quality Relieves the pain of fibromyalgia Helps prevent migraines Feature Summary Serotonin is an important neurotransmitter that influences mood, appetite, sleep habits, and pain tolerance.
