Formula Ingredients & Benefits

Vitamin B6 pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)

  • Serves as a cofactor in more than 150 enzymatic reactions associated with blood sugar regulation, immunity, cardiovascular function, neuronal health, metabolic, and digestive health (2,4).
  • Reduces plasma glucose (blood sugar levels) by inhibiting the activity of small-intestinal α-glucosidases (enzymes associated with glucose metabolism) (3).
  • Functions as an antioxidant by counteracting the formation of reactive oxygen species (inflammatory markers) and advanced glycation end-products (2,4).
  • May support blood sugar regulation in women with gestational diabetes (4).
  • cofactor for enzymes involved in DNA metabolism (4).

BCAA 2:1 (Leucine, Valine, Isoleucine)

  • Improve exercise performance, increase muscle protein synthesis, prevent muscle tissue breakdown, supports immunity, gut health, lipid metabolism, and recovery (5,6).
  • Leucine stimulates muscle protein synthesis (muscle growth) via stimulation of the mTORC1 pathway (a genetic pathway for cell growth) even in a caloric deficit (5).
  • Suppresses muscle degradative pathway (muscle tissue breakdown) during times of catabolism and caloric deficit (5).
  • Leucine stimulates muscle growth in sarcopenic elderly individuals that have increased leucine needs (5).
  • Acts as a regulator to promote intestinal development, nutrient transporters, and immune-related function (6).

L-Glutamine

  •  The most abundant amino acid in skeletal muscle that fuels immune cells, improves exercise recovery and optimizes the gut microbiome (1).
  • Vital for lymphocyte (immune cell) proliferation (growth) and paramount in neutrophil (immune cell) destruction of bacteria (1).
  • Vital for activation of genetic signals that support immune function and vitality (1).
  • Glutamine is utilized by immune cells at high rates during catabolic conditions (post-surgery, sepsis, burns, and extreme exercise (1).

Suggested Use: Mix 1/2 a scoop (6.5g) in 8 - 10 ounces of cold beverage. It will take a few minutes for all the powder to dissolve in the beverage. Best taken pre-workout, post-workout, or between meals
