Ready-to-absorb, crystalline amino acids.

Complete Amino Acids is a comprehensive, well-balanced blend of 20 amino acids. This hypoallergenic, vegetarian formula provides both essential and non-essential amino acids including the branched-chain amino acids, leucine, isoleucine, and valine. All amino acids are in their easy-to-absorb, free-form state and only USP, L-crystalline forms are used to ensure maximum purity. Amino acids are essential building blocks for structural proteins like collagen and elastin, and functional proteins like antibodies, enzymes, and hemoglobin. Individual amino acids also play important roles in a variety of metabolic functions. For example, L-tyrosine acts as a precursor to brain neurotransmitters; L-cysteine performs important antioxidant and detoxification functions; and L-alanine is essential to energy production pathways. The branched-chain amino acids may be particularly useful to those trying to lose weight or recovering from bariatric surgery as studies suggest they can help blunt appetite, improve energy, and inhibit muscle breakdown. Complete Amino Acids is recommended as a source of easy-to-assimilate amino acids for persons on restricted diets or with impaired digestion due to illness, aging, or surgery who may be unable to ingest, digest, or absorb sufficient dietary protein.
