What is green lipped mussel?
Green Lipped Mussel is also known as perna canaliculus in Latin and also called as Green shell Mussel.
Plenty of medicinal qualities are present in green lipped mussels. The green lipped mussels contain omega 3 fatty acid which is:
• A Strong anti-inflammatory
• Required for development of brain
• Required for cardiovascular health
• Decreases the risk of thrombosis development
• This will cure the omega-3 deficiency present in the body…

What is L-Acetyl-Carnitine?
L-Acetyl-Carnitine is an amino acid which is synthesized normally in the liver from methionine and lysine. L-Acetyl-Carnitine is the acetylcholine precursor and is interactive with lipoic-acid in its many functions.
L-Acetyl-Carnitine has a vital role in fatty acids transfer across the membrane of the energy burning chambers of the mitochondria of our body cells. In the absence of L-Acetyl-Carnitine fats cannot be burned.
L-Acetyl-Carnitine is the most useful known single entity, and very essential in marshaling of fat tissue deposits, assisting the body in the natural elimination of toxicant ketone bodies left over from metabolism of fat…

What is LPA?
LPA serves as a formation block for the several proteins that are produced in the body. LPA can be turned to amino acid L-tyrosine and later to norepinephrine, phenyl ethylamine, epinephrine and L-dopa.
Where are LPA found?
LPA is present in all foods that contain protein. LPA is synthesized in the lab; half appears in the D-form and the other half in the L-form. These two substances can also be formed individually, but it is very costly to do so. The DLPA and LPA combination supplement is often used because both substances exert various health enhancing effects…

L-Carnitine
L-carnitine is an essential nutrient which is found in our body to help transport the fat into our cell mitochondria (the specific parts of a cell that have enzymes which produce energy and are known as the power houses of cells). The fat in mitochondria is transformed into energy and is used by our body.
Amino acids, lysine (essential amino acids – building block of protein) and methionine (also an essential amino acid that has sulphur) make l-carnitine in our body. It is required to release energy from fat…

L-Ornithine-L-Aspartate
L-ornithine-L-aspartate is an amino acid. It is manufactured by our body when arginine, which is the other amino acid, gets metabolized when a constituent of urine – urea is produced.
Some research conducted on animals has found that L-ornithine-L-aspartate in combination with arginine (an amino acid) boosts our body’s muscle-building function. It is instrumental in enhancing the levels of hormones which are responsible for promoting our growth…

What is L-phenylalanine?
L-phenylalanine acts as a structure forming substance for the various proteins that are produced in the body. L-phenylalanine can also be turned to phenyl ethylamine, an element that naturally occurs in the brain and seems to raise mood…

What is L-Tyrosine?
L-Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid naturally produced in the body. More so this nutrient is produced from an essential amino acid known phenylalanine.
Benefits of L-Tyrosine
L-Tyrosine supplementation can benefit in a stressful condition. At the time of stress the brain may not be able to produce sufficient L-tyrosine from phenylalanine. In addition, important neurotransmitters become exhausted during stress. Essential brain neurotransmitters include dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine that are L-tyrosine synthesized…
