How It Works

Vitamin C

Vitamin C assists the immune system, promotes iron absorption, and helps in the creation of enzymes, hormones and proteins. Without vitamin C, the body cannot make collagen, the substance that holds the body’s cells together. Vitamin C performs many functions involving the immune system, plus the adrenal glands need large amounts of this nutrient in order to support immunity and help produce energy. As an antioxidant, vitamin C works together with vitamin E to combat free radicals.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is important for cardiovascular health. Vitamin E helps to maintain the fluidity of the blood, widens blood vessels to promote circulation, and supports normal-range cholesterol levels. Vitamin E also plays a crucial role in supporting immune function. Vitamin E has high antioxidant potency and, because it is fat-soluble, it helps safeguard cell membranes from damage by free radicals.

B-Vitamins

B-vitamins help convert macronutrients into energy, reduce tiredness and fatigue, and support mental sharpness and cognition. B-vitamins also nourish the nervous system and help with specific enzyme processes that support circulation, glucose metabolism, muscle function, and overall health and vitality.

Electrolytes

Electrolytes are minerals in your blood and other body fluids that carry an electric charge, including calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium. Electrolytes regulate the function of nerves and muscles in your body, in addition to aiding in ensuring that you’re hydrated, you’re blood pH and pressure levels are right, and rebuilding damaged tissues. If your electrolyte levels are out-of-balance, your heart muscles will either be too weak or work too hard to continue pumping blood, possibly resulting in  heart issues. With how much they do to help hydration and muscles, it’s easy to see why so many pre- and post-workout drinks and foods include ample amounts of electrolytes.

Glucosamine

Glucosamine is a natural compound present in joint cartilage. Glucosamine aids the body in building and maintaining cartilage, which is especially important to those needing more strength in their joints or wherever cartilage is found. People suffering from various joint problems may find they are lacking in glucosamine. Studies suggest that glucosamine protects connective tissues and helps maintain the integrity and mobility of joints. Glucosamine also helps lubricate joints by replenishing synovial fluid, which promotes a joint’s shock-absorbing abilities.

D-Ribose

D-ribose facilitates cellular energy production and supports muscle and heart health. D-ribose, or simply ribose, is a sugar molecule created within the cells from glucose to provide the body with energy. D-ribose helps recover energy reserves following strenous exercise or physical exertion. It may also help reduce muscle soreness and promote muscle recovery.

L-Carnitine

L-carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid that plays a critical role in heart and brain health. L-carnitine’s primary role in the body involves mitochondrial function and energy production. Some studies suggest that l-carnitine supports exercise performance and recovery and promotes muscle oxygen supply and improved stamina and endurance. L-carnitine also provides antioxidant support.

Glycine

Glycine is an important amino acid that boosts energy and supports digestive health, nervous system function, and cardiovascular health. Glycine is also a major component of collagen and it functions as a precursor for the body’s synthesis of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant. Plus, glycine contributes to the repair and regeneration of muscle tissue after workouts, helping to reduce muscle damage and soreness. Glycine is often used in oral rehydration solutions to assist the absorption of water and electrolytes to improve hydration.

Taurine

Taurine is a sulfur-containing amino acid that offers significant benefits for cardiovascular health. It helps maintain normal-range blood pressure levels, enhances endothelial (the inner lining of blood vessels) function, and supports healthy glucose and cholesterol metabolism. Taurine also plays an important role in energy production, supports immune health and nervous system function, provides antioxidant properties, and promotes a healthy inflammatory response.
