• may help lower blood pressure
  
• may help lower blood pressure
  
• may provide relief from migraines
  

The "master antioxidant" made up of 3 amino acids (glutamine, glycine, & cysteine)

• levels decrease as a result of aging, stress & toxin exposure
  
• acts as an important antioxidant, helps combat free radicals (molecules that can damage the body’s cells) which reduce oxidative stress
  
• helps remove pollutant and drugs as well as toxins that the body naturally produces
  
• supports liver health by removing toxins and free radicals which can contribute to liver cell death
  
• may improve insulin resistance
  
• promotes a balanced inflammatory response
  

Helps the body use fat and carbohydrates for energy and make new protein

• helps with red blood cell formation and anemia prevention
  
• may support bone health and prevent osteoporosis
  
• key to a healthy pregnancy (important for prevention of brain and spinal cord birth defects)
  
• may improve mood and symptoms of depression (necessary for the production of serotonin which is responsible for regulating mood)
  
• may prevent brain atrophy and memory loss
  
• may provide energy boost
  
• may improve heart health
  
• supports healthy hair, skin, and nails
  

Plays a crucial role in production of energy by transporting fatty acids into cell mitochondria (mitochondria act as engines within cells, burning fats to create usable energy)

• used for weight loss
  
• may improve exercise recovery
  
• increases oxygen supply to muscles
  
• may improve stamina by increasing blood flow and nitric oxide production therefore delaying discomfort and reducing fatigue
  
• may reduce muscle soreness
  
• increase production of red blood cells which transport oxygen throughout the body
  

MIC (methionine/inositol/choline), B6, B12

• MIC: lipotropic agents which help in the breakdown of fat during metabolism in the body
  
• methionine: one of the 8 essential amino acids that cannot be made in the body
  
• helps the body process & eliminate fat
  
• provides additional detox of the liver and helps remove heavy metals
  
• inositol: a type of carbohydrate
  
• promotes tissue healing
  
• decreases insulin resistance
  
• helps the liver break down fats in the body
  
• choline: an essential nutrient
