L-Glutamine is a “conditionally” essential amino acid. The average healthy person can usually make enough glutamine to meet biological needs. A shortage of glutamine may arise when there is disease, injury or other physiological abnormality that increases the body’s requirement for glutamine. Glutamine is essential for the metabolism, structure, and function of the gastrointestinal tract and its associated immune component.* Glutamine serves as a major source of fuel for the cells that line the intestinal tract, helping to maintain their normal, healthy function.* Immune cells require glutamine to help function properly. During times of physical stress and disease i.e. lifting weights, cancer, severe burns, an individual’s requirement for glutamine increases dramatically. Providing the body with glutamine as L-glutamine helps maintain lean muscle mass, helps the healing process and supports the body during all types of physical stress.* Features: Our L-glutamine is the highest quality, pharmaceutical grade, free form L-glutamine available. It comes in a convenient powdered form which makes it easy to take the higher doses required by many individuals. Free form (predigested and ready to be used by the body) L-glutamine 5,000mg per scoop   Benefits: L-glutamine is known as a conditionally-essential amino acid, meaning that the body is capable of making it, but in certain conditions and disease states, the body can’t make enough to meet biological requirements. L-glutamine is the most abundant amino acid found in the blood and serves as a major source of fuel for the cells that line the intestinal tract.* L-glutamine is essential for a normal, healthy immune system (of which about 1/3 resides in the GI tract) and during infection glutamine requirements increase.* During trauma, glutamine requirements increase several-fold. If requirements are not met, the body will begin to breakdown muscle tissue (high glutamine content) as a source of glutamine. This is one of the reasons why severe trauma and or illness result in a significant loss of mean muscle mass and bodyweight. Higher amounts of L-glutamine must be provided during trauma or illness in supplemental form, as it is difficult to get the necessary amounts through diet alone.   SUGGESTED USE:  As a Dietary Supplement, adults take one scoop in eight ounces of water, one (1) to three (3) times daily, or as directed by a health care professional.   Ingredients

Zinc is an essential trace mineral required for numerous biochemical and physiological processes in the body. Zinc is important for healthy functioning of all organs. It is essential for more than 30 enzyme reactions that control a variety of functions. Zinc is an important component of superoxide dismutase (SOD), a major protective antioxidant enzyme. Zinc-dependent enzymes are involved in growth, immunity, and tissue repair.* Zinc is especially important for healthy functioning of the prostate and the male reproductive system, and for normal, healthy immune function.* L-OptiZinc® is a unique, patented form of methionine-bound zinc which has been shown in numerous studies to be better absorbed, retained longer and be more effective than other forms of zinc.*   Features: Provides the trace mineral zinc bound to the amino acid methionine. Studies show L-OptiZinc® is absorbed significantly better than other forms of zinc. The only premium zinc supplement FDA-approved safe for human nutrition. Unlike other forms of zinc absorption of L-OptiZinc® is not affected by dietary fiber and does not have a negative effect on copper absorption/status.   Benefits: Better absorption means greater bioavailability and utilization of zinc.* L-OptiZinc® helps support antioxidant defenses by helping to increase the activity of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide L-OptiZinc® help support normal, healthy growth, specifically the release and activity of growth hormone requires zinc*. Studies show zinc is essential for insulin production, therefore is required to support healthy blood glucose levels.* Numerous studies show zinc is required for normal, healthy immune function. L-OptiZinc® being better absorbed and retained by the body longer will have a greater impact on immune function.*   Flyer #1  Flyer #2 Supplement Facts L-OptiZinc® Additional L-OptiZinc® is a unique mineral chelate that pairs zinc with the amino acid L-methionine. Research studies show that L-OptiZinc® is better absorbed than other forms of zinc and that plasma levels remain higher compared to other zinc forms. Zinc is an essential mineral involved in many cellular functions including muscle function, aging, skin and immune health. ELEMENTAL ZINC FROM L-OPTIZINC® 20% COMPLEX OF ZINC AND METHIONINE 1:1 BETTER ABSORPTION THAN ZINC OXIDE 24% BETTER RETENTION THAN ZINC OXIDE 21% WHY L-OPTIZINC® L-OptiZinc® is zinc mono-L-methionine with superior absorption, retention and antioxidant and cell protectant properties compared to other forms of zinc tested. L-OptiZinc® is 1:1 complex of zinc and methionine, an amino acid that is well-absorbed by the body. L-OptiZinc® offers benefits for dietary supplements and food and beverages. Superior absorption and retention Superior antioxidant properties Superior cellular protection Multiple health benefits — from immune function to skin health SUPERIOR PROTECTION FROM A SUPERIOR ZINC Zinc Methionine is Better Absorbed and Retained Longer in Tissue Then Other Popular Zinc Supplements Tested L-OptiZinc®'s superior absorption and retention over other forms of zinc may help increase its health-promoting benefits as these benefits are highly dependent on the amount of zinc that actually is absorbed and utlized by the body. Preclinical research shows that L-OptiZinc® has superior antioxidant properties to several other forms of zinc.
