Composition & Mechanism of Action

This aqueous blend combines free-form amino acids and a lipotropic agent studied for their roles in nitrogen metabolism, protein synthesis, and cellular energy pathways:

• L-Arginine — a substrate for nitric oxide synthase, involved in NO-mediated vascular signaling and as an intermediate in the urea cycle.
• L-Ornithine — a urea cycle intermediate involved in ammonia detoxification and as a precursor for polyamine synthesis.
• L-Citrulline — a urea cycle intermediate that is converted to arginine via the citrulline-NO cycle, indirectly supporting nitric oxide production.
• L-Lysine — an essential amino acid involved in protein synthesis and as a precursor for carnitine biosynthesis.
• L-Glutamine — the most abundant free amino acid in plasma, serving as a nitrogen donor for nucleotide synthesis and a substrate for cellular energy metabolism.
• L-Proline — a non-essential amino acid and key structural component of collagen, involved in extracellular matrix protein synthesis.
• L-Taurine — a sulfur-containing amino acid involved in osmoregulation, membrane stabilization, and bile acid conjugation.
• L-Carnitine — facilitates transport of long-chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane for β-oxidation.
• N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) — a cysteine precursor and glutathione synthesis substrate, studied for its role in cellular antioxidant capacity and redox homeostasis.

All ingredient interactions are described strictly at the level of documented biochemical pathways; no claims of physiological outcome, safety, or efficacy are made or implied.
