Essential amino acids for the maintenance of good health
Premium Grade
Of the eight essential amino acids that cannot be produced by the body, the three branched-chain amino acids (BCAA’s) Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine are of key importance. Based on their unique structure, activity, storage and metabolism, BCAA’s have become a staple in the lives of many athletes and physically active individuals. They account for nearly 1/3 of the amino acids in muscle protein, and play a number of key roles in the repair and growth of muscle tissues. Capsule form provides a convenient dosage format.

Mixed Tocopherols & Tocotrienols
Emerging research demonstrates that gamma-Tocopherol, the most abundant form of Vitamin E in the diet, has very important and unique functions. Central to these functions is its capacity to detoxify reactive nitrogen species, an especially destructive form of free radical. In addition, gamma-Tocopherol acts to trap and remove free radicals from the body in a way that alpha-Tocopherol cannot. NOW® Advanced Gamma E Complex provides the necessary full range of antioxidant protection because it contains a more natural balance of Tocopherols plus a full complement of Tocotrienols. NOW’s “Advanced” formula thereby provides superior support for health.

Methylfolate is the biologically active, naturally occurring form of folate that is used for fundamental body functions like normal cell division and the synthesis of neurotransmitters and DNA. Folate and folic acid from our food and supplements must be converted to its active form in the body. Some individuals lack the enzymes necessary to perform this conversion. Methylfolate bypasses this faulty step and provides a biologically active form of folic acid.Unlike regular folic acid, Methylfolate has been shown to penetrate the blood-brain barrier, where it helps to support neurological health. Quatrefolic® is a patented form of Methylfolate that has demonstrated bioavailability superior to that of folate from dietary sources. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Part of B vitamin family
Choline & Inositol are members of the B-vitamin family. Choline is found in most animal tissues and is necessary for normal synaptic transmission and brain health. In addition, Choline is involved in fatty acid metabolism in the liver. Inositol is also essential for brain and nervous system health. Both Choline and Inositol are essential components of all cell membranes, where they function as cell signaling molecules.

Vitamin K is well known for its role in the synthesis of a number of blood coagulation factors. During recent years however, Vitamin K2 and its dependent proteins have been found to play a central role in whole-body calcium metabolism. These Vitamin K2-dependent proteins are now known to be essential for normal bone mineralization, as well as for other critical functions unrelated to coagulation. NOW® MK-7 contains a highly biologically active form of Vitamin K2 derived from non-GMO, soy-free natto.
