Unlock the power of Carnitine for endless energy!

Carnitine is an amino acid and its main purpose in the body is to convert fat into energy. It also removes toxins from the mitochondria (the power station of the cells).

It decreases inflammation, decreases uric acid (which causes gout) and keeps glucose levels stable.

It has a beneficial effect on s***m and egg cells, leading to improved fertility for men and women.

It has been proven to assist with weight loss when combined with a exercise program and healthy diet. It can also be added to prescription weight-loss treatments to enhance their effect.

Animal protein is an excellent source of carnitine. Oral supplements are also available, but only 14% to 18% is absorbed. Intravenous carnitine is a much more effective way of boosting your carnitine levels, when dietary intake isn't enough.

Push Your Limits!

L-Arginine is an amino acid found naturally in meat and dairy products. It is necessary for protein-production in the body.

It is converted in the body to nitric oxide which is a vasodilator (it causes blood vessels to open wider).
For this reason it can be beneficial in many conditions where blood flow is a problem. It can improve angina, erectile dysfunction and lower blood pressure.

Intravenous L-Arginine has been proven to improve athletic performance. Taking L-Arginine in tablet form doesn't have a significant impact on performance.

Stay healthy, stay strong with ALA!

Alpha-lipoic acid, or ALA, is present in every cell in the body where it is needed to turn food into energy.

It also has antioxidant effects which makes it especially beneficial for treatment of damage to nerves that is, for instance, caused by diabetes.

Some antioxidants, like Vitamin C, cannot pe*****te the brain, because it is water-soluble. ALA is water- and fat-soluble, meaning it can work anywhere in the body.

Glutathione: The Ultimate Antioxidant!

Glutathione is a potent antioxidant. This means it removes free radicals from the body that contribute to ageing and inflammation.

The benefits of glutathione are endless:
It is used in dermatology for its anti-ageing and skin-lightening effect.
It can protect against the development of cancer.
It boosts the immune system.
Any inflammatory conditions, including auto-immune disease and arthritis, may benefit from glutathione.

It is however important to note that it has the potential to cause life-threatening bronchospasm (closing of the airways) when given intravenously. and should be avoided in people with asthma. But that doesn't mean that you can't benefit from its effect. Other substances can be given instead to boost your body's natural glutathione levels.
