AMINO ACIDS
Amino acids are critical to life, and have many functions in metabolism. They support the neurotransmitters in the brain responsible for moods, sleep and cravings of all kinds. One particularly important function amino acids play is serving as building blocks of proteins, which are linear chains of amino acids. AMINO ACIDS
5-HTP
Our modern, stressful lives lower levels of the feel-good neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin depletion leads to food cravings, depression, and other mood disorders. Naturally restoring serotonin levels may help promote healthy mood levels and may also reduce food cravings.
The pharmaceutical industry has responded to the serotonin crisis by creating a wide array of medications which seek to restore serotonin metabolism. A better approach may be to replete serotonin naturally by using its precursor, 5-hydroxytryptophan (5HTP). Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate (P5P), the activated form of vitamin B6, is included in this formula to support overall neurotransmitter metabolism.

DL-Phenylalanine
Dl-Phenylalanine is a combination of the well-tolerated essential amino acids, d-phenylalanine and l-phenylalanine. Together, these compounds promote mental functioning, support a positive outlook, and relax the musculoskeletal system.
Dl-Phenylalanine is a precursor to tyrosine, which converts to the neurotransmitters norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine and tyramine. Tyrosine and its metabolites have been shown to support emotional well-being, memory and learning. d-Phenylalanine may regulate the levels of certain endorphins, thereby calming stressed muscles and joints.
INGREDIENTS:
EACH CAPSULE CONTAINS: Dl-phenylalanine (free-form) 500 mg
vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate) 10 mg
AMOUNT: 60 Veg caps
SUGGESTED USAGE:
3–6 capsules per day, in divided doses, between meals.
WARNINGS:
Avoid if you have high blood pressure, migraine headaches or have bipolar tendencies.
Glutamine
L-Glutamine is an amino acid, which is essential for the health of the immune system and digestive tract. It is very reparative and healing in the gut where it strengthens the mucosal cells and in turn helps leaky gut and sugar cravings.
Glutamine also helps promote optimal muscle growth and strength and has shown to be particularly useful in helping prevent muscle wasting.
Serving Size: 1 capsule
Product Contains: L-Glutamine 850 mg
Amount per container: 120
Other Ingredients: Microcrystalline cellulose, water.
Recommended Use: As a dietary supplement, take one or more capsules per day or as directed by your health care practitioner

Stress Arrest
Gamma-aminolbutyric acid (GABA) is the main calming neurotransmitter in the body. It blocks stress and anxiety related messages from reaching the motor centers of the brain by occupying their receptor sites.
This synergistic formula with its high therapeutic potential of 300mg of GABA is combined with 200mg of Glycine another calming nutrient, as well as: Niacinamide, Panothenic acid and vitamin B6 to deliver comprehensive support for stress and anxiety related conditions.
Serving Size: 1 capsule
Recommended Use: As a dietary supplement, take one capsule per day, or as directed by your health care practitioner.
Product Contains: Niacin (as Niacinamide) 100 mg: Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxine HCl) 10 mg: Pantothenic Acid (D-Calcium Pantothenate) 100 mg: GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) 300 mg: Glycine 200 mg:

Tyrosine Capsules
Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid synthesized in the body from the essential amino acid phenylalanine. Tyrosine promotes alertness, energy, mental focus, drive and enthusiasm.
Tyrosine is the precursor amino acid from which the body makes Dopamine (with vitamin B-6 as cofactor), which is then converted to Nor-epinephrine (with vitamin C as cofactor) and then to Epinephrine (with SAMe as cofactor). Tyrosine competes for uptake with other large neutral amino acids, so in order to maximize absorption from the supplemented Tyrosine into various tissues (such as brain, adrenals, nerves), it should be taken on an empty stomach, or two hours away from a protein containing meal.
INGREDIENTS:
SERVING SIZE: 1 tablet
SERVINGS PER CONTAINER: 60
AMOUNT PER SERVING:
Vitamin C (as Ascorbic Acid) 50 mg
Tyrosine 1000 mg
Microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, stearic acid.

Consult your health care practitioner before use if you are pregnant or nursing or if you are taking prescription medication such as MAO inhibitors, have high blood pressure, suffer from migraine headaches or manic depression.
