Buy productWhat is Egg White Protein Powder?
NOW® Sports Egg White Protein is an excellent natural source of high quality protein. Good quality proteins rate well on the PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score), the most accurate measurement of a protein’s quality. NOW® Sports Egg White Protein rates as one of the highest quality proteins available when using the PDCAAS. A good mix of proteins from different sources provides the best results, and high quality NOW® Sports Egg White Protein is an excellent addition to any protein supplementation program. This egg white powder is pasteurized which inactivates the avidin glycoprotein. Therefore, biotin fortification is not necessary for this product.

Buy productWhat is Glycine?
Glycine is the smallest and simplest amino acid, making it versatile for use in a wide range of functions. Glycine is necessary for the production of glutathione, DNA, creatine, bile, haemoglobin, and most proteins. It also helps to promote glycogen storage, thereby making glucose readily available for energy production. Glycine also functions as a calming neurotransmitter in the brain, where it facilitates nerve impulses and is important for the maintenance of healthy sleep patterns. -
Read moreWhat is Glycine?
Glycine is a non-essential amino acid and has the simplest structure of all amino acids, allowing it to fit easily within protein chains and make space for structurally larger amino acids. This feature makes it very important for specific bodily functions. Glycine is also a precursor of creatine, which is used to construct DNA and RNA. And it supports glycogen storage, thereby making more glucose available for energy production. The amino acid glycine is non-chiral and only has one form without a D- or L- designation. -

Read moreWhat is L-Arginine?
Arginine is a conditionally essential basic amino acid involved primarily in urea metabolism and excretion, as well as in DNA synthesis and protein production. It is an important precursor of nitric oxide (NO) and thus plays a role in the dilation of blood vessels. Natural colour variation may occur in this product. This product is sold by weight not volume. NOW® L-Arginine is pharmaceutical grade. -

OW® L-Carnitine Liquid has all of the properties of carnitine in a highly absorbable liquid form. L-Carnitine is a non-essential amino acid that helps to maintain overall good health by facilitating the transfer of fatty acid groups into the mitochondrial membrane for cellular energy production. It naturally occurs in red meat and other animal-source foods, but NOW recommend supplementation to obtain optimal levels of this excellent amino acid. NOW® L-Carnitine is the purest form, clinically tested, and vegetarian (non-animal sourced). Carnipure® offers purest L-Carnitine and is a registered trademark of Lonza Ltd, Switzerland and is supported by numerous studies. -
Buy productL-Glutamine Powder 454g
Glutamine is considered to be a conditionally essential amino acid, which means that under certain circumstances, the body may require more glutamine than it can produce. In the body, glutamine functions as a major nitrogen transporter and is critical for the maintenance of healthy nitrogen balance.* Glutamine also acts as the primary fuel for the rapidly growing cells of the immune system and GI tract.* NOW® L-Glutamine Powder is a pure, free-form, non-essential amino acid and is the highest grade available. This product is sold by weight not volume. Natural color variation may occur in this product.

Buy productWhat is L-Ornithine?
Ornithine is a non-essential amino acid that plays a central role in the urea cycle, functioning along with Arginine and Citrulline to rid the body of ammonia, a by-product of protein metabolism. Because Ornithine is converted into Arginine, it can help to maintain healthy Arginine levels in the body. Ornithine can also be converted into other amino acids, such as citrulline, proline, and glutamate, as well as creatine, an important muscular energy source.

Buy productWhat is Magnesium Bisglycinate powder?
Magnesium bisglycinate utilizes magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine, which facilitates intestinal absorption. Magnesium is a mineral that activates an estimated 300 enzymes, including those that regulate functions critical for energy production and metabolism, muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, and bone mineralization. In addition, magnesium is required for fatty acid synthesis, protein synthesis, and glucose metabolism. Magnesium status is also important for regulation of calcium balance through its effects on the parathyroid gland. -
Buy productWhat is Magnesium Citrate 120VC
Magnesium is a mineral that is critical for energy production and metabolism, muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, and bone mineralization. It is a required cofactor for an estimated 300 enzymes. Among the reactions catalyzed by these enzymes are fatty acid synthesis, protein synthesis, and glucose metabolism. Magnesium status is also important for regulation of calcium balance through its effects on the parathyroid gland.
