VITA PRO AMINO+

Provides 1 cap of Arginine and 3 caps of Glycine in every sachet

Glycine 1000mg capsule

In clinical research, the essential amino acid, glycine, has been shown to have a calming effect on the brain. To provide the maximum benefits, we formulated our Glycine with 1000 mg, a significantly higher dose than many traditional glycine supplements.

 

L-Arginine 700 mg capsule

The human body naturally produces L-arginine. It is also obtained through diet. But some people struggle to get enough of this semi-essential amino acid through either of those routes. Our L-Arginine Caps provide 700 mg of L-arginine along with 6 mg of vitamin C to support arterial health and more.

This semi-essential amino acid is involved in numerous areas of human biochemistry that contribute to overall health.

Glycine Benefits
  • Promotes relaxation
  • Promotes healthy quality sleep without causing daytime drowsiness
  • Supports healthy glucose & fructose metabolism
  • Supports connective tissue throughout the body
L-Arginine Caps Benefits
  • Supports arterial health
  • Helps maintain healthy tissue & bones
  • Supports healthy blood pressure levels
  • May help maintain a healthy immune system

L-arginine is a semi-essential amino acid involved in numerous areas of human biochemistry that contribute to overall health. It modulates immune function, detoxifies ammonia for removal from the body and serves as a precursor for nitric oxide.1

Nitric oxide is a potent vasodilator, and supplemental L-arginine can therefore support healthy blood pressure levels.2 Higher intake of arginine is also linked to lower levels of C-reactive protein, an important marker of a healthy inflammatory response to support cardiovascular health.3 L-arginine may also help maintain the health of the immune system.4,5

Healthy Sleep with Glycine

A good night’s sleep is one of the most effective ways to take care of our bodies. But hectic lifestyles, exposure to harmful blue light and more have impacted our sleep habits. Glycine offers sleep and relaxation support and so much more in an easy-to-swallow 1000-mg capsule.

Glycine is the simplest of all amino acids. It can be made by the body, but since it doesn’t appear to meet the body’s requirements at all times, it’s considered by some to be semi-essential.1

Most of the glycine in the body becomes incorporated in proteins, but free glycine acts as a neurotransmitter involved in regulating appetite, behavior and general homeostasis.2 It has fundamental roles in support of healthy gene expression, cellular antioxidant processes, detoxification, immune function, growth, development, metabolism and survival.2 Like other one-carbon molecules, glycine has been linked to longevity in certain species.3,4

Glycine is often used as a supplement to promote relaxation and sound sleep. Research shows that, when taken before bed, glycine may promote healthy quality sleep without causing daytime drowsiness.5,6 Glycine may also have positive impacts on mood, cognition and mental health.7,8

Glycine is needed for collagen production and therefore supports connective tissue throughout the body.9,10 Glycine has been shown to preserve normal muscle mass and promote healthy body composition.11,12 Importantly, it is the rate-limiting component of the major antioxidant glutathione.13,14

Glycine has been demonstrated to inhibit protein glycation and production of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs).13 Evidence from laboratory and clinical trials suggests glycine may help support healthy glucose and fructose metabolism.13,15,16 Research shows glycine may help maintain normal blood pressure.14,17 A study that included more than 4,000 subjects found higher glycine levels were correlated with cardiovascular protection and better metabolic health.18 Glycine has been shown to support health of the gastric and intestinal lining.19-21
