Benefits Of Each Ingredient |
Vitamin B6 pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) |
- Serves as a cofactor in more than 150 enzymatic reactions associated in blood sugar regulation, immunity, cardiovascular function, neuronal health, metabolic, and digestive health (38, 40).
- Reduces plasma glucose (blood sugar levels) via by inhibiting the activity of small-intestinal α-glucosidases (enzymes associated with glucose metabolism) (39).
- Functions as an antioxidant by counteracting the formation of reactive oxygen species (inflammatory markers) and advanced glycation end-products (38,40).
- May support blood sugar regulation in women with gestational diabetes (40).
- cofactor for enzymes involved in DNA metabolism (40).

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 (41,42).
- Leucine stimulates muscle protein synthesis (muscle growth) via stimulation of the mTORC1 pathway (a genetic pathway for cell growth) even in a caloric deficit (41).
- Suppresses muscle degradative pathway (muscle tissue break down) during times of catabolism and caloric deficit (41).
- Leucine stimulates muscle growth in sarcopenic elderly individuals that have increased leucine needs (41).
- Acts as a regulator to promote intestinal development, nutrient transporters, and immune-related function (42).
|
L-Glutamine |
-  The most abundant amino acid in skeletal muscle that fuels immune cells, improves exercise recovery, and optimizes the gut microbiome (18).
- Vital for lymphocyte (immune cell) proliferation (growth) and paramount in neutrophil (immune cell) destruction of bacteria (18).
- Vital for activation of genetic signals that support immune function and vitality (18).
- Glutamine is utilized by immune cells at high rates during catabolic conditions (post-surgery, sepsis, burns, and extreme exercise (18).
