Feature Summary
Natural Factors N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) is a free form amino acid and a vital part of the body’s antioxidant defence system. It is needed for the production of glutathione, a key antioxidant involved in many physiological processes, such as fighting oxidative stress, maintaining a healthy immune system, repairing tissues, cellular detoxification, and supporting overall health. NAC supplementation has been clinically shown to increase the body’s antioxidant capacity and help reduce the severity and frequency of influenza-like symptoms in adults over 65. NAC is also the most stable and readily absorbed form of cysteine.
As a free form amino acid, cysteine is one step closer to producing glutathione than when it is consumed as part of a complete protein from food. Oral supplementation with NAC also increases glutathione levels more effectively than supplementing with glutathione itself. This is because glutathione breaks down in the gastrointestinal tract whereas NAC does not. It passes into the bloodstream intact.
The 1200 mg per day (600 mg 2 times per day) is supported by clinical research. This is an ideal nutritional supplement for adults who would like to improve their immune system health. NAC is an effective option for anyone with high levels of oxidative stress or depleted glutathione stores.

$36.00
Women Sense PCOSense
PCOSense is a complete natural health solution for women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). It is one of the first formulas to combine myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol at a 40:1 ratio, plus folate and vitamin B12. This formula supports normal menstrual cycle and fertility, healthy glucose balance, and reduced serum testosterone in women with PCOS.
Recommended adult dose: Stir one scoop (2.15 g) in 250 mL of water, twice daily, or as directed by a health care practitioner.
Research
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common metabolic and hormonal disorders, affecting one in ten women of reproductive age. (1) Women with PCOS present with a variety of symptoms associated with menstrual dysfunction and androgen excess, including irregular menstrual cycles, weight gain, infertility, and insulin resistance. (1,2)
Insulin resistance affects 30–40% of women with PCOS and is believed to play a key role in abnormal ovarian function. Multiple clinical trials support supplementation with myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol to help with the hormonal and metabolic symptoms of PCOS by promoting healthy glucose metabolism and reducing insulin resistance. (1–6)
In a placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial, women with PCOS were supplemented with 4 g of myo-inositol plus 400 mcg of folic acid daily. After 16 weeks, women taking myo-inositol experienced an 84% increase in whole body insulin sensitivity, compared to no change in the placebo group. Myo-inositol was also shown to improve glucose tolerance and reduce serum total testosterone and serum-free testosterone concentrations by 66% and 73% respectfully. In addition, 69.5% of these women ovulated, compared to 21% taking the placebo). (1)
In a 12-week clinical study, obese PCOS patients were supplemented with 500 mg of D-chiro-inositol daily. Patients experienced significant improvements in insulin sensitivity, especially those with a family history of diabetes. Hormonal patterns also improved and patient body mass index (BMI) decreased. (2)
Both myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol have been clinically shown to support a normal menstrual cycle and ovulation in women with PCOS. (3,6) In another double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, PCOS patients were supplemented with 4 g of myo-inositol plus 400 mcg of folic acid daily. Over the 14-week study, parameters of ovarian function improved, including a 25% increase in ovulation frequency (versus a 15% increase in the placebo group) and a significantly shorter time to first ovulation (24.5 days versus 40.4 days for the placebo group). (3)
D-chiro-inositol was shown to help regulate the menstrual cycle in 62.5% of women with PCOS and chronic ovulatory dysfunction when taken for at least four months at a dose of 1 g per day plus 400 mcg of folic acid. The prospective cohort study also found that D-chiro inositol helped lower testosterone and luteinizing hormone levels, as well as other metabolic parameters related to PCOS. (6)
PCOS is the most-common cause of infertility due to anovulation (lack of ovulation). A meta-analysis of seven trials found that supplementation with 4 g of myo-inositol plus 400 mcg of folic acid daily increased pregnancy rates among infertile women undergoing treatments to induce ovulation, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). Supplementation also allowed for the reduction of ovulation medication needed to promote fertility. (7) In addition, a clinical study supplementing 1.1 g of myoinositol plus 27.6 mg of D-chiro-inositol daily helped improve oocyte and embryo quality, as well as pregnancy rates in women with PCOS undergoing IVF. (8)
Active folate (L-5-MTHF) and methylcobalamin (vitamin B12) support fertility and normal early fetal development, help form red blood cells, and are factors in the maintenance of good health. (9,10) Clinical studies show that folate supplementation at least three months before conception and during early pregnancy reduces the risk of neural tube birth defects by 42–87%. (9)

Natural muscle food
L-glutamine is an amino acid essential for recovery after strenuous exercise or critical illness. Following heavy or prolonged exercise it protects muscle tissue and supports muscle growth. Natural Factors Micronized L-Glutamine provides an easier form of glutamine for the body to absorb. It has no taste and mixes easily into water.
Uses & Benefits
Accelerates recovery time, increases energy, and reduces the risk of infection following prolonged or intense exercise
Supports muscle recovery and growth, especially following strenuous exercise
Naturally boosts the immune system, helping to protect against infection and disease
Helps prevent infection during illness by strengthening the immune system, maintaining the integrity of the intestinal barrier, and preventing infectious agents from entering the body
Medicinal Ingredients
Each scoop (5 g) or 1 heaping tsp contains:
Micronized L-glutamine
5 g
Non-Medicinal IngredientsVegetarian capsule (carbohydrate gum [cellulose], purified water), rice powder, vegetable grade magnesium stearate (lubricant).
Suggested Use
L-glutamine is an amino acid that can be found throughout the body, primarily in the brain, gastrointestinal tract, muscles, and liver cells. During strenuous exercise, L-glutamine levels in the muscle and blood are greatly depleted. Supplementing with L-glutamine can help restore plasma L-glutamine levels depleted after periods of physical stress and can accelerate recovery time. Additional benefits include increased immunity and energy, as well as enhanced digestive and brain function. Micronization technology greatly minimizes the particle size, thus allowing your body to more easily break down and absorb the glutamine.
Advanced Info
Glutamine is a naturally occurring amino acid involved in a wide variety of metabolic processes, including the synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids, and energy production. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in skeletal muscle and plasma and is known to be an important nutrient for cell proliferation, survival, and repair; defending the body against inflammation and infection; and helping the body recover from illness or stress. More glutamine is used during periods of prolonged or heavy exercise, trauma, inflammation, immune system dysfunction, and some illnesses. These states may result in a glutamine deficiency, leading to impaired immune response and increased risk of infection.While skeletal muscle is able to synthesize glutamine, many other cells and tissues that rely on glutamine to function properly are not. Immune cells and the kidney, liver, and gastrointestinal tract rely on glutamine from skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle consequently requires a constant supply of glutamine.Supplementation with glutamine helps ensure normal muscle function, aids recovery from physical trauma and illness, and naturally boosts the immune system, helping to protect against infection and disease. Glutamine supplementation is ideal for athletes who want to prevent problems associated with intensive training, and for anyone who would like to recover faster from over-training.
Recommended dose
Recommended adult dose: 1 scoop (5 g) or 1 heaping tsp daily or as directed by a health care practitioner. L-glutamine has no taste and mixes easily in water or your favourite beverage.
Cautions
Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are following a low-protein diet, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep out of the reach of children.

Boosts physical and mental energy
Acetyl-L-carnitine is the biologically active form of the amino acid L-carnitine. It can cross the blood-brain barrier, making it ideal for promoting neurological health. Acetyl-L-carnitine has antioxidant activity and is important for heart and brain function. It also produces energy at the cellular level.
Uses & Benefits
Promotes neurological health and mental energy
Supports improved learning, attention, long-term memory, and mood
Improves neuropathy (nerve pain) in certain conditions
May help improve the symptoms of anxiety
Helps the body produce energy at the cellular level
Feature Summary
Carnitine and its derivatives exist in a carnitine “pool” in the body. Cellular enzymes and transporters rapidly convert the carnitine to the required form and transport it to the tissues. Carnitine and its derivatives play a key role in fat, carbohydrate, and protein metabolism and energy production and are critical components for mitochondrial metabolism. Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) is the most important derivative of carnitine and occurs naturally in the body. Because ALC is considered to have greater bioavailability and is therefore more able to cross neurological membranes, it is the preferred form to take for promoting neurological health.
The levels of carnitine and its derivatives are critical to normal biological functioning. Carnitine is present in the diet in red meats and dairy products, and humans can make carnitine from the amino acids lysine and methionine. However, carnitine deficiency can occur with certain conditions.
ALC has been studied in various conditions including neurological and cognitive disorders, and cardiovascular disease, as well as with respect to the fatigue and pain associated with conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome and sciatica.

L-arginine (hydrochloride)
500 mg
Non-medicinal Ingredients
Vegetarian capsule (carbohydrate gum [cellulose], purified water), vegetable grade magnesium stearate (lubricant), rice powder.
Suggested Use
The amino acid L-arginine is used to make nitric oxide, a compound in the body that relaxes blood vessels. Studies have found that L-arginine may help with conditions that improve when blood vessels are relaxed. May help support a modest improvement in exercise capacity in individuals with stable cardiovascular disease (CVD). Supports healthy immunity.
Advanced Info
Natural Factors L-Arginine is a non-essential amino acid involved in protein synthesis. It may also help support a modest improvement in exercise capacity in individuals with stable cardiovascular diseases (CVD).
L-arginine is a conditionally essential amino acid, which means although it can be manufactured by the body, during times of illness, stress, and recovery from injury, the body may need more than it can produce on its own. L-arginine plays a critical role in the production of nitric oxide, a substance that relaxes blood vessels, helping to improve blood flow. A deficiency of L-arginine can disrupt many cellular functions in the body, including those of the blood vessels.
As a free-form amino acid, L-arginine is easier for the body to absorb and use than when consumed in the form of protein from food, such as dairy, meat, and fish. Available in two strengths, L-arginine is free from preservatives, sweeteners, gluten, and GMOs. L-arginine is a great choice for people who want to improve their exercise capacity, are under high levels of stress, or are involved in intense physical training.

ʟ‑Tyrosine is an amino acid which helps optimize weight loss, mood, libido, efficiency at work, and peripheral circulation—thus helping to reduce cold limbs.ʟ‑Tyrosine is a nonessential amino acid (protein building block) that the body synthesizes from the amino acid phenylalanine. Tyrosine is important for the structure of almost all proteins in the body.ʟ‑Tyrosine, through its effect on neurotransmitters, may affect several health conditions, including mood disorders. Preliminary findings indicate a beneficial effect of tyrosine, along with other amino acids, in people affected by dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. Due to its role as a precursor to norepinephrine and epinephrine (two of the body’s main stress-related hormones), tyrosine may also ease the adverse effects of environmental, psychosocial, and physical stress.ʟ‑Tyrosine is a precursor to thyroxine, a primary thyroid hormone. Tyrosine is a precursor to many neurotransmitters, such as adrenaline (also called epinephrine); noradrenaline (also called norepinephrine); and ʟ‑dopamine, which is a precursor to dopamine. These neurotransmitters are crucial to brain functions. ʟ‑Tyrosine also supports libido and protects from ultraviolet rays.ʟ‑Tyrosine is used to treat conditions such as mood disorder, poor coping ability, fatigue, low sex drive, low metabolism, and drug abuse (when combined with tryptophan). It can also improve endurance under stress and is effective as an appetite suppressant. When taken properly, ʟ‑tyrosinecan assist a sluggish thyroid and aid the dieter in losing excess, unwanted pounds.ʟ‑Tyrosine is converted by skin cells into melanin, the dark pigment that protects against the harmful effects of ultraviolet light. Thyroid hormones, which have a role in almost every process in the body, also contain tyrosine as part of their structure.DIRECTIONS OF USETake 2 capsules per day with meals or as directed by your health-care practitioner.Duration of use:

5 g
Suggested Use
Improves strength, power, and performance in repetitive bouts of brief, highly intense physical activity by increasing intramuscular energy levels.
Increases lean muscle size when used in conjunction with a resistance training regimen.
Advanced Info
Regenerlife Creatine contains a purified, micronized source of creatine monohydrate to increase the body’s lean muscle mass when used in conjunction with a resistance training regimen. Creatine is a naturally occurring compound made primarily from the amino acids arginine and glycine. It is stored within muscle cells as phosphocreatine, where it helps replenish the body’s energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) during quick bursts of physical effort.
Starting as early as age 50, muscle mass and muscle strength can begin to decline. Strength and resistance training is recommended as part of a healthy aging regimen. One contributing factor to the decline in muscle mass and strength is a natural decrease in the body’s ability to make and store creatine. Supplemental forms of creatine can support older adults who want to maintain their active lifestyle by improving physical strength and performance in repetitive bouts of brief, high-intensity physical activity, like HIIT training.
Creatine is part of the Regenerlife healthy-aging line of supplements formulated for whole-body rejuvenation and longevity. Each serving provides 5 g of high-quality creatine monohydrate that has been rigorously tested for purity and potency. This non-GMO, vegetarian, and vegan-friendly formula uses micronization technology, making it easier for your body to break down and absorb. The neutral-tasting powder also dissolves quickly in water, making it easy to take. This formula is a fantastic supplement for aging individuals who want to promote muscle health and longevity.
Recommended dose
Recommended adult dose: Mix 1 scoop (approx. 5 g) with 250 mL of water, juice, or protein shake. Start with a loading phase of 5–7 days and follow with a maintenance phase.Loading phase: 1 scoop 3 times daily or as directed by a health care practitioner.Maintenance phase: 1 scoop daily or as directed by a health care practitioner.

Innotech Nutrition’s pure L-Glutamine is easy on your stomach, fermented, Vegan-friendly, non-GMO, non-dairy and free of sugar, salt, gluten, dairy, MSG, artificial sweeteners, artificial flavours and colours. The only ingredient is pure L-Glutamine powder. Can easily be added to many other Innotech Nutrition healthy drink mixes to increase Glutamine content like CardioFlex Q10, Fasting Days, Immune Essentials, Fermented Organic Greens and Fermented Plant Protein products.
Immune Support:
Glutamine is the main fuel source for your body’s lymphocytes, white blood cells that fight infection. When you are sick or injured your blood’s glutamine levels decline, reducing these immune cells’ ability to defend your body.
Digestive Health:
Glutamine’s immune system support is closely related to its activity in our intestines. The amino acid helps maintain your intestinal lining, helping your body absorb the nutrients it needs – supporting good health. Your gut is the largest organ in the immune system and studies show glutamine supports immune system health.
Recommended Purpose:
Helps support digestive and immune system health after periods of physical stress. Helps restore plasma glutamine levels depleted after periods of physical stress (e.g. prolonged exhaustive exercise) and assist in muscle cell repair after exercise.
Recommended Dose (Adults):
Take 4 scoops daily (6000 mg) or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.
Caution:
Consult a health care practitioner/health care provider/health care professional/doctor/physician prior to use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Security feature is self-evident.

NOW Sports L-Glutamine is a 100% pure, free-form, non-essential, amino acid and is the highest grade available. NOW Sports Glutamine has recently been the focus of much scientific interest. A growing body of evidence suggests that during certain stressful times, the body may require more glutamine than it can produce. Under these circumstances, glutamine may be considered a "conditionally essential" amino acid. Glutamine is involved in maintaining a positive nitrogen balance (an anabolic state) and also aids rapidly growing cells (immune system lymphocytes and intestinal cell enterocytes). In addition, glutamine is a regulator of acid-base balance and a nitrogen transporter.

Advanced Info
Everyday stress is a normal part of modern living. For some people, the stress can be overwhelming and lead to anxiety or insomnia, as well as long-term, accumulated stress. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a chemical messenger and natural calming agent in the brain that can help ease the effects of stress. Natural Factors Stress-Relax 100% Natural GABA contains PharmaGABA™ 80, a unique, clinically tested form of GABA that is more effective than synthetic varieties. It helps promote relaxation and ease nervous tension without causing drowsiness. It is easily absorbed into the body for fast action against acute stress and can be felt within five minutes. Both the easy-to-swallow vegetarian capsules and the delicious naturally flavoured tropical chewable tablets are convenient, completely safe, and remarkably effective without side effects.
Unlike pharmaceutical GABA-enhancing medications, such as Valium, Neurontin, Baclofen, and Valproate, natural GABA is gentle and non-addictive. It reduces the negative effects of caffeine and is ideal for improving sleep quality. Natural GABA is an effective option for anyone dealing with mental, emotional, or physical stress. It supports the nervous system's ability to cope with stress that may otherwise lead to depression, angry outbursts, complete burnout, or illness.

Helps to support healthy mood balance
Reduces symptoms of fibromyalgia
High Potency 200 mg 5-HTP
With synergistic L-Tyrosine, Vit B3, and Vit B6
5-HTP, the intermediate metabolite between the amino acid L-tryptophan and serotonin, is extracted from the seed of an African plant (Griffonia simplicifolia). 5-HTP readily crosses the blood-brain barrier and increases central nervous system (CNS) synthesis of serotonin. Serotonin can affect sleep, appetite, temperature, sexual behaviour, and pain sensation. Serotonin also has a significant role in depression, anxiety, and aggression. 5-HTP is one of the few approved natural therapies for fibromyalgia with the possibility of reducing pain severity, morning stiffness, and sleeplessness. 5-HTP has been shown to increase neurotransmitting catecholamines such as dopamine and norepinephrine that are synthesized from tyrosine. There is speculation that increasing the availability of tyrosine to the brain allows increased neurotransmitter synthesis, which helps to counter the negative effects of stress. The addition of B-vitamins to this formula provides additional synergistic effects as they enhance the metabolism of amino acids.NPN 80009864
DIRECTIONS
Adult Dosage: To minimize the risk of gastrointestinal side effects, slowly increase dose to effective levels over a period of 2 weeks. For use beyond 1 year consult a health care practitioner.

Feature Summary
Natural Factors N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) is a free form amino acid and a vital part of the body’s antioxidant defence system. It is needed for the production of glutathione, a key antioxidant involved in many physiological processes, such as fighting oxidative stress, maintaining a healthy immune system, repairing tissues, cellular detoxification, and supporting overall health. NAC supplementation has been clinically shown to increase the body’s antioxidant capacity and help reduce the severity and frequency of influenza-like symptoms in adults over 65. NAC is also the most stable and readily absorbed form of cysteine.
As a free form amino acid, cysteine is one step closer to producing glutathione than when it is consumed as part of a complete protein from food. Oral supplementation with NAC also increases glutathione levels more effectively than supplementing with glutathione itself. This is because glutathione breaks down in the gastrointestinal tract whereas NAC does not. It passes into the bloodstream intact.
The 1200 mg per day (600 mg 2 times per day) is supported by clinical research. This is an ideal nutritional supplement for adults who would like to improve their immune system health. NAC is an effective option for anyone with high levels of oxidative stress or depleted glutathione stores.

Pure Encapsulations - NAC + Glycine Powder; Natural Peach Ginger Flavour
Supports glutathione production, immune defence and detoxification
Benefits:
Restores and promotes glutathione synthesis
Enhances immune & antioxidant defences
Reduces oxidative stress
Supports the body’s natural detoxification process
Cysteine and glycine are both necessary precursors for glutathione (GSH) synthesis, and co-supplementation of these nutrients promotes intracellular glutathione levels. Glutathione is one of the main endogenous antioxidants, acting in the body to recycle other antioxidants and protect the body from free radicals, as well as support detoxification. It is found in virtually every cell of the body and plays a critical role in cell function. Increased glutathione levels have been linked to supporting a reduction in oxidative stress.
Ingredients:
Medicinal Ingredients (per scoop [approximately 5.3 g]):N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine | 1800 mgGlycine | 1800 mgNon-Medicinal Ingredients: Natural peach, mango, orange, and ginger flavours with other natural flavours, potassium citrate, tri-magnesium citrate, purified stevia leaf extracts.
Dosing:
Adults: Take 1 scoop daily, mixed well with 1 cup (250 mL) of water, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Take with a meal. Ensure to drink enough fluid before, during, and after exercise. Consult a healthcare practitioner for use beyond 2 months.
Product Notes:
Though there has yet to be a health product licensed for sale in Canada using the 'GlyNAC' name featured in recent studies, you can now get an equivalent combination in a powdered form from Pure Encapsulations.
If antioxidants were a league of super heroes, glutathione would be its Superman, for being able to help protect every single cell in the body (both on its own and by helping the other antioxidants get used more) from free radicals, in addition to supporting the immune system and combating the effects of aging in other ways, such as by assisting in nutrient metabolism, energy production, detoxification, and more.
Unfortunately, our bodies don't generate nearly as much glutathione after the age of 45 or so, which leaves us more vulnerable. And while it can be taken as a supplement, it turns out it can be far more effective to furnish the body with the first two of its three main building blocks (glycine, L-cysteine, and L-glutamate) to enable it to be produced right within the cells from scratch, as needed, rather than transported into them whole - not only because the supplemental forms tend to be unstable and difficult to absorb, but also because too much glutathione can end up backfiring and lead to accelerated aging (due to a phenomenon known as reductive stress).
That's where NAC + Glycine powder comes in. Studies have shown that a combination of those two precursors of GSH (Glycine and N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine) in a one-to-one ratio can significantly improve GSH deficiency, oxidative stress levels, mitochondrial impairment, inflammation, insulin resistance, physical strength, exercise capacity, and several other hallmarks of aging, in older adults -- without interfering with the delicate balance between the 'healthy' levels of oxidants that cells produce to improve their signaling and efficiency, and glutathione's ongoing efforts to reduce excessive levels within those cells.

Multi-Purpose Antioxidant
NAC is an amazing powerhouse antioxidant and so much more! As a valuable partner of your immune system, NAC is most notably used for its ability to breakdown excessive mucous but it also reduces oxidative stress (free radicals) and its effects from pollution, stress, and excessive exercise. It helps liver detox processes and is used in cases of acetaminophen overdoses.
Anti-Aging Marvel
As an antioxidant, N-Acetyl Cysteine, a derivative of the amino acid cysteine, stimulates the production of glutathione, another potent antioxidant and one of your liver’s main detoxifying compounds. By squelching free radicals NAC helps slow aging and reduce inflammation, which can increase your risk of chronic disease. This scavenger helps protect cell walls from damage, which in turn supports our immune system so it does not have to deal with mutated cells so that immune resources can be focused where better needed.
Enerex NAC 1000 uses pharmaceutical grade ingredients and offers the highest potency product on the market.
Get the NAC of it. NAC, which stands for N-Acetyl Cysteine, has been researched for a variety of benefits for over 20 years.
