Acerola cherry
This tiny fruit is one of the richest sources of vitamin C available, with 50–100 times more than oranges or lemons. This bright orange-red berry contains antioxidants such as carotenoids and anthocyanins. Acerola has been shown to support immune function, digestion, skin appearance, and energy levels.
Aloe vera
You’ve probably slathered aloe vera onto a sunburn, but did you know it’s also soothing to the gut? Aloe is rich in restorative bioactive compounds like amino acids, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, enzymes and antioxidants that support digestion, regularity, and healthy inflammatory levels in the gut and throughout the body.
Amla
Also known as the Indian gooseberry, this bitter berry has been a vital part of Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years used for its rich health benefits. Amla is high in antioxidants and phytochemicals like kaempferol, furosin, gallic acid, corilagin and quercetin that help fight free radicals and support immune function, digestion, and healthy aging.
Carnitine L-tartrate
This naturally-occurring compound is found primarily in red meat, and in smaller amounts in chicken, milk and dairy products, fish, beans, and avocado. It is responsible for transporting fat into the mitochondria where it's converted into ATP for energy. Carnitine is important for energy production and metabolism and supports healthy glucose metabolism, lipid profiles, and body composition. It supports metabolic flexibility and the body's ability to switch between burning glucose and fat for fuel, which is critical for exercise and fasting.
HMB
HMB (β-hydroxy β-methylbutyrate) is derived from the essential amino acid leucine, which is crucial for facilitating muscle protein synthesis. HMB supports muscle protein synthesis while simultaneously hindering protein breakdown. It achieves this through the activation of the mTOR pathway, a pivotal system overseeing the regulation of muscle protein synthesis. Research has found that HMB supplementation helps to conserve muscle mass in both positive and compromised health states. Studies have also revealed that long-term supplementation could potentially improve muscular function in elderly adults, even in the absence of resistance training.
