Acetyl-L-Carnitine is the O-acetyl derivative of Carnitine - ALC is also naturally present in the body (i.e. it is endogenous) and occurs naturally in small amounts in some foods. Approximately 7.5% - 10.2% of the body’s total Carnitine content is in the form of ALC.
Buffered Vitamin C Powder contains four buffering minerals, in addition to ascorbic acid. When mixed with water, this product produces a reduced-acid solution that is non-irritating to the stomach and intestinal lining. The minerals also make it a more pleasant-tasting and healthful drink.

Setria® Glutathione Tri-peptide is a Sulfur-containing, water-soluble, Tripeptide composed of L-Cysteine, L-Glutamic Acid & Glycine. Often called the "master antioxidant," glutathione supports immune health and helps protect cells in the body from the damaging effects of oxidative stress and toxins.
Carnitine is a Dipeptide (composed of Lysine and Methionine) - it is chemically similar to Choline. It is manufactured within the body in the Liver and Kidneys and is also a component of the diet.

Cysteine HCL is a Non-Essential, Glucogenic, Sulfur-Containing Amino Acid is synthesized in the Liver. Cysteine and Cystine readily convert to one another and have almost identical functions within the body (although Cystine is a less desirable form than "true" Cysteine). Cysteine HCL is Cysteine bound to 23% Hydrochloric Acid (HCl).
Cystine is a Non-Essential Disulfide Amino Acid formed within the body by linking two Cysteine molecules by their Sulfur atoms - i.e. Cystine is the oxidized form of Cysteine. Cysteine and Cystine readily convert to one another and have almost identical functions within the body.
Glutamine is an Amino Acid that is an Amide of Glutamic Acid. Officially Glutamine is a Non-Essential Amino Acid, although under certain conditions it may become “essential”.
Leucine is an Essential Branched Chain, Large Neutral, Ketogenic Amino Acid. Of the three Branched Chain Amino Acids, Leucine is recognized as the most important/potent.
Suntheanine® (L-Theanine) is relatively uncommon Amino Acid that promotes relaxation without causing drowsiness, reduces nervous tension, and helps prevent the negative side-effects of caffeine.
N-Acetyl-Cysteine is an endogenous form of Cysteine produced from Cysteine within the body and also widely regarded as the preferred form of Cysteine for supplementation.
Methylsulfonylmethane is a type of Sulfuric Compound that is naturally present in the body (i.e. it is an endogenous form of Sulfur). MSM is similar in chemical structure to (but claimed to be safer than) Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) - MSM is the active therapeutic constituent of DMSO and is also an oxidative metabolite of DMSO. It is odorless, tasteless and stable. Its physical format is a white crystalline powder.
