Amino Acids & Muscle Health
 As part of the brain-booster team, Acetyl-L-Carnitine contributes to the production and activity of the memory neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Several double-blind studies have suggested that this naturally occurring, amino acid-like nutrient may delay the onset, as well as enhance the performance of patients suffering from Alzheimer's. Acetyl-L-Carnitine also scavenges free radicals in the mitochondria (microscopic ?power-plants? found within each cell of the body), helps stabilize cell membranes, and stimulates nerve growth factor levels. |
 Harvested wild from one of nature's pristine lakes, Foundation Blue-Green Algae is a powerhouse of building blocks required for a strong body. Packed with proteins, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll and necessary phytonutrients, Blue-Green Algae is considered to be nature's first food. Foundation Blue-Green Algae promotes optimum pH balance, as it helps strengthen the immune system, increase energy and stamina, promote mental clarity, and reduce food cravings. Foundation's nutrients are Powered by Enzymes, to enhance maximum delivery of nutritional factors. |
 Naturally made in the body, the amino acid L-Carnitine plays a role in releasing energy from fat. Therapeutically used in heart-related conditions, evidence has shown that L-Carnitine, when combined with conventional treatment, may improve symptoms of angina and may prevent a heart attack. A review out of Temple University Medical Center, Philadelphia, stated that L-Carnitine might assist in treating congestive heart failure, arrhythmia, peripheral vascular disease, and acute ischemia. Preliminary research has also shown that L-Carnitine may improve blood sugar in people with type II diabetes, lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and improve skeletal muscle performance. |
 The most abundant amino acid in the body, L-Glutamine is involved in many metabolic processes. It plays a role in the health of the immune system, digestive tract, and muscle cells. It also detoxifies the body of ammonia, which protects both the body and the brain. When the body needs extra energy, it converts Glutamine into glucose. It is also important for the synthesis of the body's super antioxidant, glutathione. |
 L-Theanine is the amino acid that takes the edge off caffeine in green tea. It also takes the edge off stress, anxiety, and insomnia. Theanine readily crosses the blood brain-barrier where it increases alpha-waves and GABA, a brain chemical known for its calming effect. Unlike tranquilizing drugs, Theanine does not induce stupor, rather it soothes the mind into a relaxing state without affecting the ability to concentrate and remember. Theanine also increases levels of dopamine in the brain and thereby has mood-enhancing effects. Theanine may also lower blood pressure and decrease the symptoms of PMS. |
