“How They Work in Your Body”

Glycine
  • Combines with cysteine and glutamate to form glutathione, the body’s master antioxidant.
  • Supports collagen synthesis → healthy skin, joints, and connective tissues.
  • Plays a role in restful sleep and mental focus.
  • Supports metabolic functions throughout daily activities.
Glutamine
  • Plays a supportive role in gut lining integrity → assisting in normal nutrient absorption.
  • Supports immune cell function during stress or recovery.
  • Contributes nitrogen for tissue repair → helps replenish muscle and connective tissues.
  • Provides building blocks for glutathione via glutamate production.
Citrulline
  • Converts to arginine → supporting nitric oxide production → healthy blood flow.
  • Supporting delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues.
  • Assists in ammonia clearance after exercise → reduces perception of fatigue.
  • Supports mitochondrial efficiency for sustained energy output.
Whey Protein Isolate
  • Supplies all essential amino acids needed for repair and maintenance of muscle and connective tissue.
  • Rich in cysteine → key ingredient in glutathione production.
  • Supports immune function and healthy antioxidant defense.
  • Contributes to blood sugar balance when paired with balanced meals.
Combined Glutathione Action

When glycine + glutamate (from glutamine) + cysteine (from whey) come together, the body produces glutathione — an antioxidant involved in:

  • Neutralizing free radicals
  • Supporting healthy detoxification in the liver
  • Protecting mitochondria for sustained energy production
  • Maintaining immune system readiness

Lacking vs. Locked In

Glycine

When Intake May Be Low

• Injury recovery or intense training may feel delayed. • Joints or connective tissue may feel less flexible. • Energy may feel less steady due to weaker blood sugar buffering. • Detoxification and antioxidant capacity may feel reduced.

When Needs Are Met

• Joints feel comfortable mobile • Energy and blood sugar feel steadier across the day. • Collagen-building pathways are supported for tissue repair. • Detox and antioxidant defenses function more smoothly.

Glutamine

When Intake May Be Low

• Recovery between workouts feels prolonged. • Digestive comfort may feel inconsistent. • Immune resilience may feel lowered during stress. • Blood sugar regulation may feel inconsistent.

When Needs Are Met

• Gut feels more settled, with improved digestive comfort. • Recovery feels smoother, with less downtime between efforts. • Immune readiness feels supported during stress. • Energy balance feels more stable due to glycogen support.

Citrulline

When Intake May Be Low

• Stamina feels reduced during activity. • Muscles may feel heavy or fatigued earlier. • Recovery from activity feels slower due to inefficient ammonia clearance. • Circulation may feel less efficient.

When Needs Are Met

• Stamina feels sustained, with muscles more “ready” for the next effort. • Circulation feels stronger and more efficient. • Recovery between workouts or long shifts feels smoother. • Ammonia and fatigue byproducts are better managed.

Whey Protein Isolate

When Intake May Be Low

• Strength and muscle maintenance may feel harder to sustain. • Energy between meals may dip faster. • Feelings of fullness may not last as long after eating. • Strength or performance progress may plateau.

When Needs Are Met

• Lean muscle feels maintained and better supported. • Satiety lasts longer, making energy steadier between meals. • Recovery from daily wear-and-tear feels supported. • Performance gains are easier to sustain.
