A major cause of aging is the deterioration of the energy-producing components of the cell which results in reduced cellular metabolic activity, the accumulation of cellular debris, and eventual death of the cell.

L-carnitine helps to maintain cellular energy metabolism by assisting in the transport of fat through the cell membrane and into the mitochondria within the cell, where these fats are oxidized to produce the cellular energy ATP.8-13
Acetyl-L-carnitine is the acetylated ester of the amino acid L-carnitine. Acetyl-L-carnitine is an endogenous mitochondrial membrane compound that helps to maintain mitochondrial bioenergetics and lowers the increased oxidative stress associated with aging.14 Acetyl-L-carnitine and L-carnitine are absorbed into the bloodstream efficiently and both are very effective at carrying fatty acids across the membrane into the cell where they are burned as energy and utilized efficiently in the mitochondria of the cell.15,16 Acetyl-L-carnitine also guards against oxidative damage.17 Amyloid-beta peptide is a principal component of senile plaques and is thought to be central to the pathogenesis of degenerating process.
Acetyl-L-carnitine exerts protective effects against Abeta neurotoxicity and oxidative stress.*
About 95% of cellular energy occurs in the mitochondria.26 Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) is the biologically active amino acid involved in the transport of fatty acids into the cell's mitochondria for the purpose of producing energy.22-25 ALC influences the maintenance of key mitochondrial proteins for maximum energy production. ALC easily crosses the blood-brain barrier and may have potential in exerting unique neuroprotective, neuromodulatory, and neurotrophic properties. ALC may improve the age-associated decline of memory, improve mitochondrial structure and function, inhibit the age-associated increase of oxidative damage, elevate the levels of antioxidants, and restore the activity of key enzymes.27-33*

Arginine Hcl 1 Kilo Powder - L-arginine is an essential amino acid. L-ornithine may be used as an alternative since it metabolizes to L-arginine in the body. L-arginine is required for the body to synthesize nitric oxide, which enables the arterial system to retain its youthful elasticity. Nitric oxide also helps to produce endothelial relaxation factor, which is needed by the arterial system to expand and contract with each heartbeat.
Arginine/ornithine 150 Grams Powder - L-arginine is an essential amino acid. L-ornithine may be used as an alternative since it metabolizes to L-arginine in the body. L-arginine is required for the body to synthesize nitric oxide, which enables the arterial system to retain its youthful elasticity. Nitric oxide also helps to produce endothelial relaxation factor, which is needed by the arterial system to expand and contract with each heartbeat.
Arginine/ornithine 500 Mg 100 Capsules - L-arginine is an essential amino acid. L-ornithine may be used as an alternative since it metabolizes to L-arginine in the body. L-arginine is required for the body to synthesize nitric oxide, which enables the arterial system to retain its youthful elasticity. Nitric oxide also helps to produce endothelial relaxation factor, which is needed by the arterial system to expand and contract with each heartbeat.
L-ornithine Hcl 300 Grams Powded - L-arginine is an essential amino acid. L-ornithine may be used as an alternative since it metabolizes to L-arginine in the body. L-arginine is required for the body to synthesize nitric oxide, which enables the arterial system to retain its youthful elasticity. Nitric oxide also helps to produce endothelial relaxation factor, which is needed by the arterial system to expand and contract with each heartbeat.
L-ornithine 500 Mg 100 Capsule Twinlab - L-ornithine is a growth hormone releasing amino acid.
L-phenylalanine 100 Grams Powder - L-phenylalanine is an essential amino acid which can be converted to L-tyrosine by a complex biochemical process which takes place in the liver. L-tyrosine can be converted by neurons in the brain to dopamine and norepinephrine (noradrenaline), hormones which are depleted by stress, overwork and certain drugs.
Glycine Caps 1000 Mg 100 Caps - Glycine is a conditionally essential amino acid that serves as an inhibitory and excitatory neurotransmitter. It is the chemically simplest and most ubiquitous of all the amino acids and combines with many toxic substances, converting them to harmless forms which are then excreted.
L-carnitine 100 Grams Powder - A major cause of aging is the deterioration of the energy-producing components of the cell which results in reduced cellular metabolic activity, the accumulation of cellular debris, and eventual death of the cell.
L-cysteine 500 Mg 60 Capsules Twinlab - L-cysteine is a conditionally essential amino acid, one of only three sulfur-containing amino acids, the others being taurine (which can be produced from L-cysteine) and L-methionine from which L-cysteine can be produced in the body by a multi-step process.
L-methionine 100 Grams Powder - L-methionine is an antioxidant found in meat and dairy products. In the body, methionine acts as a methyl donor in biochemical pathways and can be converted to SAMe, a natural compound that supports liver function.
L-tyrosine 100 Grams Powder - L-phenylalanine is an essential amino acid which can be converted to L-tyrosine by a complex biochemical process which takes place in the liver. L-tyrosine can be converted by neurons in the brain to dopamine and norepinephrine (noradrenaline), hormones which are depleted by stress, overwork and certain drugs.
