L-Carnitine is a vitamin-like amino acid metabolite found only in red meat. It is synthesized in the human body from the amino acid Lysine. Carnitine plays a role in facilitating the transfer of fatty acid groups into the mitochondrial membrane for energy production.

L-Carnitine supplementation helps transport fatty acids into to mitochondria matrix where it is burned and converted to produce energy, it also helps decrease ischemic heart disease, abnormal cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Twinlab Mega L-Carnitine is a revolutionary, new, high potency L-Carnitine supplement prepared in a special, fast-acting liquid form for quick absorption into the bloodstream. It is a great tasting, highly concentrated and economical source of L-Carnitine.Pantothenic Acid is added to enhance the natural metabolism of L-Carnitine.

From Absolute Nutrition "the sports nutrition experts," comes a product who's potency is unchallenged... Effervescent GlutaGain. This is the only genuine effervescent glutamine product on the market today. Others just add carbonation to their glutamine. Only GlutaGain has the glutamine that's bonded to the effervescent molecule. With a 98% absorption rate, this all natural pharmaceutical grade product will power your workouts like no other.GL3, 2-Aminoglutaramic Acid, is a pure L-Glutamine supplement in crystalline powder form. Glutamine has become more prominent as new studies reveal its unique contribution to protein synthesis (muscle growth), anti-proteolytic (prevents muscle tissue breakdown) functions and growth hormone elevating effects. Glutamine provides a critical link in muscle metabolism not shared by any other single amino acid, and GL3 makes utilizing glutamine a realistic and effective endeavor. GL3 is pure, pharmaceutical grade L-Glutamine in an odorless and tasteless powder. In a recent release of the prestigious American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the results of a study on glutamine revealed that a single 2 gram oral dose of glutamine elevated circulating growth hormone levels by over 430%! With GL3 you’ll be able to effortlessly increase your growth hormone levels by over 430%! Keeping a consistently high level of circulating growth hormone, you are able to combat the catabolic effects of weight training, harness the anabolic activity of increased glucose and amino acid uptake, improve whole body nitrogen retention, and increase lean tissue protein accrual. Supplementing with GL3 L-Glutamine may just be the most effective way of stimulating new muscle growth!

Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ACL) is a stabilized form of the amino acid metabolite L-Carnitine and is utilized in the same manner in the body. However ALC also plays important roles in protecting an supporting brain functions.

Glutamine makes up 60% of the free amino acid pool in skeletal muscle making glutamine the most abundant amino acid in the body. Maximum Nutrients Glutamine Powder provides 4500mg. of pure pharmaceutical grade L-Glutamine per serving.

L-Carnitine is primarily involved with transporting long-chain fatty acids from the cell cytosol into the mitochondria. Since long chain fatty acids are oxidized (burned) in the mitochondria, L- Carnitine facilitates production of energy from fat. Oxidation (combining with oxygen) of the BCAAs is facilitated by L- Carnitine, providing a link between protein catabolism and cellular energy. Skeletal muscle contains 90% of total body carnitine in humans.

Twinlab's L-Carnitine is a free form amino acid.

L-Carnitine supplementation helps transport fatty acids into to mitochondria matrix where it is burned and converted to produce energy, it also helps decrease ischemic heart disease, abnormal cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Twinlab Mega L-Carnitine is a revolutionary, new, high potency L-Carnitine supplement prepared in a special, fast-acting liquid form for quick absorption into the bloodstream. It is a great tasting, highly concentrated and economical source of L-Carnitine.Pantothenic Acid is added to enhance the natural metabolism of L-Carnitine.

TwinLab MEGA L-GLUTATHIONE CAPS are easier to swallow and assimilate.Each capsule supplies 250 mg of pure, reduced L-Glutathione(gamma-L-Glutamyl-L-Cysteinyl-Glycine). L-Glutathione is a biologically active sulfur amino acid tripeptide compound containing three amino acids: L-Cysteine,L-Glutamic Acid and Glycine.

BCAA-Pro is a high potency formula containing the Branched Chain Amino Acids L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine, as well as L-Glutamine the most abundant amino acid found in skeletal muscle tissue. Also incorporated into BCAA-Pro are vitamin C, vitamin B 6, lysophospatidyl choline and methoxyisoflavone.BCAA's are essential amino acids meaning that they must be obtained through the diet. Athletes and bodybuilders recognize the importance of a diet rich in BCAA's as BCAA's can increase protein synthesis and suppress muscle protein breakdown. These essential amino acids are rapidly oxidized during exercise so supplemental BCAA's can play a significant role in lean body mass accrual and muscle preservation. Glutamine is added to the BCAA-Pro formulation to work synergistically with the BCAA? to prevent muscle breakdown and increase muscle volume. Additionally the inclusion of vitamin B6, vitamin C, and lysophosphatidyl choline increase the absorption of the amino acids into the blood stream. Finally methoxyisoflavone is included to BCAA-Pro for a nutrient partitioning effect and to help combat cortisol levels further preserving muscle.BCAA-Pro can be used effectively on a cutting cycle to help preserve lean body mass or on a bulking phase to help increase muscle cell volume and protein synthesis.BCAA-Pro can also be combined with other SAN products like Fuel Injection V12 and/or Methoxybol-7.
