Allergen Statement Contains no artificial colours, preservatives, or sweeteners; no dairy, starch, sugar, wheat, gluten, yeast, soy, corn, egg, fish, shellfish, salt, tree nuts, or GMOs 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.

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: Consult a health-care practitioner for long-term use.INGREDIENTSEach vegetable capsule contains:ʟ‑Tyrosine 500 mg Other ingredients: Microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide in a non‑GMO vegetable capsule composed of vegetable carbohydrate gum and purified water.

5-HTP is an intermediate metabolite between the amino acid L-tryptophan and serotonin 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.

Helps to support cardiovascular function 100% Pure Powder Vegetarian / Vegan Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid that is not utilized for protein synthesis, but is mainly found free in most tissues, especially throughout the heart and nervous system. Taurine is important in several metabolic processes of the body, including stabilizing cell membranes in electrically active tissues, such as the brain and heart. It functions in tissues by stabilizing cell membranes and aiding the transport of potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium in and out of cells. Taurine helps to generate and regulate nerve impulses and supports the maintenance of normal fluid balance; it is also used by the body in visual pathways, as well as in the brain and nervous system, where it works together with glycine and GABA as a neurotransmitter. Because Taurine is an amino acid that is naturally present in animal products such as eggs and meat, but not in vegetable protein, supplemental taurine is often recommended for vegetarians and vegans. This pure powder allows for controlled dosing and can be added to health shakes.NPN 80026850 DIRECTIONS Adult Dosage: Take a 1/2 to 1 level teaspoon, 3 times daily on an empty stomach. INGREDIENTS Each 1/2 level teaspoon contains:Taurine (Free-Form) 2000 mgNon-Medicinal Ingredients: None. RISK INFORMATION Consult with a health care practitioner prior to use if you are currently taking any oral prescription medications. Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

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. Medicinal ingredients Each Capsule Contains:Acetyl-L-Carnitine(N-Acetyl L-carnitine hydrochloride)500 mg Non-medicinal Ingredients Vegetarian capsule (carbohydrate gum [cellulose], purified water), microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable grade magnesium stearate (lubricant), silica. Recommended use Acetyl-L-carnitine is a highly biovailable form of L-carnitine and is able to effectively cross the blood-brain barrier. Acetyl-L-carnitine assists the critical conversion of choline into acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is one of the most important neurotransmitters necessary for healthy brain function, enhancing physical performance and metabolizing fat. Helps reduce fatigue. Helps support cognitive function in the elderly sub-population. Recommended dose 2 capsules 2 times daily with meals or as directed by a health care practitioner. Keep out of reach of children.
