Carnipure is the purest form of Carnitine and is both heat and pH stable. Ingredients: CarnipureTM *** 1,100 mg ** (L-Carnitine), Pantothenic Acid 10 mg  (as calcium pantothenate) Purified water, glycerin, hydroxy-citric acid,natural flavors, citric acid, and sodium benzoateL-carnitine's role in fat metabolism can be easily summarized: Carnipure turns stored fat into energy.More precisely, L-carnitine is essential for transporting long-chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane, for subsequent fat breakdown and energy generationAdditional Health BenefitsDue to its fundamental role in energy metabolism, L-carnitine is typically used by the body to support functions that have a high energy demand. In this sense, L-carnitine supplementation plays a role in heart health, male fertility, healthy aging, as well as for infants, pregnant women, and vegetarians.Carnipure: EnergyCarnipure L-Carnitine is the nutrient needed to help support the conversion of fat into metabolic energy. Studies suggest Carnipure L-Carnitine can be used to sustain energy, as its main metabolic function is to transport long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix for beta-oxidation.   Our Research Reviews In the latest study, the scientists measured levels of LAC (acetyl-L-carnitine) in blood samples taken from people diagnosed with MDD. They found that levels were significantly decreased in these patients, as compared to age-matched individuals without depression. Additional analysis revealed that patients with very low LAC exhibited more severe depression and were more likely to develop MDD early in life. Finally, the researchers found that decreased LAC was associated with having a history of childhood trauma and treatment-resistant depression, particularly in women. #acetyllcarnitine #depression #supplement Carla Nasca, Benedetta Bigio, Francis S. Lee, Sarah P. Young, Marin M. Kautz, Ashly Albright, James Beasley, David S. Millington, Aleksander A. Mathé, James H. Kocsis, James W. Murrough, Bruce S. McEwen, Natalie Rasgon. Acetyl-l-carnitine deficiency in patients with major depressive disorder. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018; 201801609 DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1801609115   How does L-carnitine maintain the normal structure of sciatic nerve in crush injury? - Several studies have demonstrated that L-carnitine exhibits neuroprotective effects on injured sciatic nerve of rats with diabetes mellitus. Dr. Ümmü Zeynep Avsar, Faculty of Medicine, Ataturk University, Turkey and his team proposed a hypothesis that L-carnitine exhibits neuroprotective effects on injured sciatic nerve of rats. Rat sciatic nerve was crush injured by a forceps and exhibited degenerative changes. After intragastric administration of 50 and 100 mg/kg L-carnitine for 30 days, axon area, myelin sheath area, axon diameter, myelin sheath diameter, and numerical density of the myelinated axons of injured sciatic nerve were similar to normal, and the function of injured sciatic nerve also improved significantly. These findings suggest that L-carnitine exhibits neuroprotective effects on sciatic nerve crush injury in rats. This paper was published in Neural Regeneration Research (Vol. 9, No. 10, 2014).

GABA (γ-amino butyric acid) is naturally occurring amino acid in our brain. It is one of the major inhibitory neurotransmitters in the central nervous system and has been found in several peripheral tissues. It is critical for the normal healthy function of the central nervous system (CNS). GABA levels drop when a person is subjected to stressful conditions. Therefore, supplementation with a safe, clinically proven form of GABA, such as PharmaGABA®, may be beneficial in reestablishing ideal GABA levels. GABA exists naturally in various foods, especially in fermented food products. PharmaGABA® is a natural form of GABA produced with the help of Lactobacillus hilgardii – a beneficial lactic acid bacteria used in the making of the traditional Korean vegetable dish known as kimchi. Clinical studies suggest that PharmaGABA® plays a critical role in helping with daily stress and mood, supporting improved relaxation and calmness, and aiding concentration and mental alertness.† Features 200 mg of PharmaGABA® in each chewable tablet Great Natural Tropical Flavor Contains No sugar, salt, dairy, wheat, gluten, eggs, peanuts, soy, fish, shellfish, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors Gluten Free, Non GMO and Vegan Benefits PharmaGABA® has exhibited its helpful effect for people to cope with the stress caused in daily activities or stressful situations. A recent human clinical study using PharmaGABA® has shown a statistically significant reduction of the perceived stress level by more than half.† PharmaGABA® may help fight even extreme stress. One particular study showed PharmaGABA® assisted those with a fear of heights to traverse the highest and longest suspension bridge in Japan. The study also showed that PharmaGABA® prevented stress-induced the immune system weakening.† PharmaGABA® appears to increase the production of alpha brain waves while reducing beta brain waves leading to improved feelings of calmness, but with greater mental clarity and focus.† In a recent GABA’s sleep aid clinical study, PharmaGABA® has shortened sleep latency, the time that takes a person to fall asleep and extended Non-Rem sleep time, the deepest stage of sleep. The increased Non-Rem sleep followed by an ideal sleeping rhythm through PharmaGABA® results in the natural deep-sleep healing process.† There’s another study that suggests PharmaGABA®, when combined with Exercise and Whey Protein, may actually enhance the growth of lean muscle mass.†   LABEL
