Amino Acid Synergy

Free-Form Essential Amino Acid Support for Protein Status, Lean Body Mass, and Muscle Health*

Key Performance Benefits

• Supports protein status in the body*

• Helps maintain lean body mass*

• May promote muscle protein synthesis*

• May help mitigate age-related muscle loss*

• May be beneficial for individuals who have difficulty consuming adequate amounts of complete protein and athletes who require additional amino acids*

What This Product Is

Amino Acid Synergy provides concentrated amounts of essential amino acids in their free form to support overall protein status and balance in the body. Alphaketoglutarate and the biologically active form of vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal-5-phosphate [P5P]) are included to help support the metabolism and bioavailability of the amino acids provided in this formula. Notably, this formula does not contain tryptophan, allowing individuals to use this supplement regardless of their serotonin-related status, including those taking specific medications that affect serotonin activity and metabolism.*

Amino acids are fundamental for a vast array of bodily functions and metabolic processes, serving as the basic building blocks for more than 100,000 unique proteins in the human body, such as neurotransmitters, hormones, and enzymes. The body cannot store excess amino acids for later use, so essential amino acids must be consumed in adequate amounts daily to help discourage the breakdown of body tissues such as skeletal muscle. Free-form amino acids are immediately available for the body to absorb and utilize more readily and rapidly than amino acids from dietary protein.*

Mechanism of Action

Free-Form Amino Acid Delivery

Unlike amino acids bound within dietary proteins, free-form amino acids do not require enzymatic digestion before absorption. This allows them to be rapidly absorbed and utilized by the body, making them especially useful for individuals with compromised digestive function or increased amino acid demands.*

Metabolic Cofactor Support

Alphaketoglutarate and pyridoxal-5-phosphate (the active form of vitamin B6) are included as metabolic cofactors. P5P plays a central role in amino acid transamination and metabolism, helping the body effectively process and utilize the essential amino acids provided in the formula.*

Essential Amino Acid Balance

The formula delivers a balanced profile of essential amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own. These nine amino acids must be obtained through diet or supplementation and are critical for maintaining protein synthesis, lean tissue integrity, and overall metabolic function.*

Applications

• Individuals seeking to maintain or support lean body mass*

• Those looking to promote muscle protein synthesis and recovery*

• Aging individuals seeking to help mitigate age-related muscle loss*

• Individuals who have difficulty consuming adequate dietary protein*

• Those seeking rapidly absorbable amino acid support between meals*

Product Questions

What makes free-form amino acids different from protein powder?

Free-form amino acids do not require enzymatic digestion before absorption, allowing the body to absorb and utilize them more readily and rapidly than amino acids bound in dietary protein. This makes them especially beneficial for individuals with digestive challenges or increased amino acid needs.*

Why does Amino Acid Synergy not contain tryptophan?

Tryptophan is intentionally excluded so that individuals can use this supplement regardless of their serotonin-related status, including those taking medications that affect serotonin activity and metabolism.*

Who may benefit most from Amino Acid Synergy?

Individuals who have difficulty consuming adequate amounts of complete protein, those seeking to maintain lean body mass, aging individuals concerned about muscle loss, and athletes who require additional amino acid support may benefit from this formula.*
