Helps to reduce the recurrence of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection (e.g. cold sores)
Helps in collagen formation
An essential amino acid for the maintenance of good health
Vegetarian / Vegan tablet delivery format
L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that must be obtained through the diet or through supplementation. Lysine is necessary for the production of all proteins in the body, and is required for the maintenance of the structural proteins collagen and elastin, which form all connective tissue such as skin, tendon, and bone. L-Lysine is also a precursor to L-carnitine, which is needed for fat metabolism and energy production, which can support good health. In addition, L-Lysine supports a healthy immune system helping to fight cold sores. Tablet delivery avoids a gelatin capsule and provides a vegetarian / vegan option.

An essential amino acid for proper cellular function and protein synthesis
With Vitamin B-6 to help metabolize proteins, fats and carbohydrates
Essential Amino Acid
L-Methionine is classified as an essential amino acid, which means that it cannot be manufactured by the body. It must be obtained through the diet or by supplementation. L-Methionine, a sulphur-based amino acid, supports the production of the cellular antioxidant, glutathione, thereby assists in natural detoxification processes. In the body, L-Methionine can also be converted into SAMe (S-Adenosyl Methionine), a compound that supports healthy joints.

Supports and maintains protein metabolism
Vegetarian / Vegan
Ornithine is a non-essential amino acid that plays a central role in the urea cycle, functioning along with Arginine and Citrulline to rid the body of ammonia, a byproduct of protein metabolism. Because Ornithine is converted into Arginine, it can help to maintain healthy Arginine levels in the body. Ornithine can also be converted into other amino acids, such as citrulline, proline, and glutamate, as well as creatine, an important muscular energy source.

An non-essential amino acid that is involved in protein synthesis
Vegetarian / Vegan
L-Proline is an amino acid that is essential for the synthesis of collagen, the most abundant protein in mammals. Collagen is the main structural protein that constitutes all human connective tissues, including skin, tendons, ligaments, joints, bone, and vasculature (veins and arteries). L-Proline therefore provides building blocks that help to stabilize and strengthen the structural components of the body. Although proline can be made in the body, low protein and vegetarian diets may not provide optimal support for the production of collagen. NOW® L-Proline is 100% vegetarian.

Helps to temporarily promote relaxation.
With synergistic Green Tea (decaffeinated)
Vegetarian / Vegan
L-Theanine is a unique amino acid found naturally in the tea plant (Camellia sinensis). L-Theanine promotes relaxation while maintaining alertness and promotes healthy cognitive function. L-Theanine may also support healthy vascular function through this relaxing effect. Synergistic Green Tea adds the nutrients that are naturally associated with L-Theanine.

Helps to temporarily promote relaxation
With added Inositol and Taurine
Chewable pill format
Sweetened with Xylitol, Sorbitol, and Stevia
Vegetarian / Vegan
L-Theanine promotes relaxation without the drowsiness or negative side effects associated with other calming agents. Chewable format is ideal for those who have trouble swallowing pills. Added inositol and taurine support neurotransmitters that are involved in mental health and function, including relaxation.

Helps to temporarily promote relaxation
Double strength
With Inositol
Vegetarian / Vegan
L-Theanine is an amino acid naturally found in green tea. L-Theanine promotes relaxation without the drowsiness or negative side effects associated with other calming agents. L-Theanine also supports healthy cardiovascular function through this relaxing effect. This formulation also includes Inositol, a member of the B-Vitamin family that is essential for brain and nervous system health.

Helps in the management of some forms of stress (physical, psychological, sleep deprivation, multitasking, etc.).
Pharmaceutical Grade
L-Tyrosine is a conditionally indispensable amino acid required for the production of the neurotransmitters dopamine, adrenaline, and noradrenaline, as well as for the skin pigment, melanin. Noradrenaline (norepinephrine) and adrenaline (epinephrine) are the main actors in the body’s response to acute stress and, along with dopamine, help to support a positive mood and mental alertness. In addition, L-Tyrosine is especially critical for the normal function of the thyroid gland.

Extract of Sweet and Sour Whey
Naturally Sweet
Did you know that the first carbohydrate you and every other mammal on earth consumed was Lactose? Also known as “milk sugar”, Lactose is a natural sugar found in milk. Extracted from sweet or sour whey, NOW Real Food® Pure Lactose is about 20% the sweetness of sugar and is used in unique food applications and as a sweet addition to children’s milk.
