Amino Acid Supreme is a balanced formula of free-form essential amino acids, with a delicious fruit punch flavor and presented in powder form for convenient and effective dosing. Because these amino acids are in free form, they can be easily absorbed and utilized by the body. Amino acids are fundamental to many metabolic functions in the body. Amino acid deficiency can be caused by digestive dysfunctions, nutritional or lifestyle factors, or conditions that affect the proper functioning of the stomach, pancreas, liver, or small intestine. Free-form amino acids are readily available for absorption and can therefore be utilized by the metabolism more easily and quickly than amino acids contained in dietary protein. Individuals with inadequate digestive functions, those recovering from physical trauma, and those who have difficulty consuming enough complete protein, such as the elderly, may benefit from taking free-form amino acids. Alpha-ketoglutarate and vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal-5-phosphate) are included in this product for optimal absorption and effectiveness.
