more detail	Lifeplan Amino Acid Complex 50's There are many amino acid supplements available on the market, many of which supply only one specific amino acid.

more detail	HealthAid L-Lysine 500 mg 60s HealthAid L-Lysine. Lysine is an essential amino acid vital in the make-up of critical body proteins. It is needed for muscle growth, tissue repairs, horomones and enzyme production. Muscle tissue has large quantities of protein, and the body uses lysine to form the structures of muscle. Lysine is also involved with proper utilization of fatty acids needed for energy production and helpful in promoting better concentration. Lysine has been found to be useful in treatment of herpes, the virus that causes cold sores and veruccas. The body uses lysine to create the armour and weapons of the immune system, which can then identify and destroy the herpes virus. Having adequate lysine is essential to strong immunity.

more detail	HealthAid Bodytone Free Form L-Arginine Tablets 500mg. 60s Healthaid L-arginine (a specific form of arginine) tablets are specially formulated using pharmaceutical grade arginine powder, which is pure and readily adsorbed by the body. L-arginine, which is the free-form version or arginine is an amino acid, which are the building blocks for protein and muscle, and is heavily involved in the process of creating energy in muscle. Arginine is also utilised by the pituitary glands and the immune system. It also helps metabolise stored body fat and tone up muscle tissue. Like other amino acids, it plays a role in speeding recovery after illness and injury to the body. The forming of new muscle and protein structures is essential to recovery from injury and arginine supplementation has been found to increase recovery in post-operative patients. In fact, during times of illness or stress, the body no longer produces enough arginine itself. Another major use of arginie is the production of nitric oxide. This chemical is involved in expanding blood vessel and is critical to supplying blood to the penis during erections. Therefore it has been investigated and used a lot in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Research suggests that arginine is necessary to ensure that there is enough nitric oxide in the body, to prevent erectile dysfunction. Bodytone arginine provides a high dose of pure and easily absorbed arginine powder.

more detail	HealthAid DLPA-Phenylalanine 500mg HealthAid DLPA-Phenylalanine. The amino acid phenylalanine is used by the body to create some of the most important chemicals that affect mood, depression and energy levels - neurotransmitters. When the supply of neurotransmitters is altered, the effects change we feel and think, and can lead to depression or chronic pain syndromes. Phenylalanine in particular is associated with adrenaline and dopamine, two transmitters thought to play a role in depression. These phenylalanine based chemicals have a mild painkiller action and help to stimulate the way we feel, which is why they might benefit people with depression. Phenylalanine (or DLPA-phenylalanine) acts as a source of natural painkiller for conditions such as whiplash, osteo-arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, lower back pain, migraines, leg and muscle cramps, post-operative pain and neuralgia.

more detail	Think Natural Anti Ageing Formula 30's Over time, the body becomes damaged by every day wear and tear, as well as the action of free radicals that corrupts DNA, both of which result in weakened tissues and increases the risks of malfunction in the body's ability to regulate cell reproduction. Diseases rise out of this damage if it is not kept under control. There are many naturally occuring nutrients - like antioxidants - that have some ability to protect cells from damage and neutralise the corrupting effects of free radicals. Also, the body has remarkable powers of repair and regeneration, but these processes require energy and the correct chemical building materials, such as amino acids and minerals. Ensuring plenty of these nutrients is one way in which anti-ageing formulas are hoped to work. Think Natural's anti-ageing formula is designed to deliver all of the most important nutrients associated with anti-ageing properties, such as vitamin E, selenium, zinc and phytochemical extracts in an easy-to-take supplement. Contains acetyl l carnitine and alpha lipoic acid, proven in many scientific studies to slow the ageing process.
