Frequently Asked Questions

What is homocysteine?

Homocysteine is an amino acid that interacts with B vitamins and converts to methionine (a protein-building amino acid and antioxidant) and cysteine (an amino acid that supports liver health). Over time, homocysteine can accumulate in the bloodstream, potentially impacting cardiovascular health, cognitive function, and more.

What does “bioavailable” mean?

When something is bioavailable, it means that it’s more readily absorbed and used by the body.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are essential amino acids?

Essential amino acids (EAAs) are amino acids that your body can’t produce enough of on its own, including leucine, isoleucine, valine, histidine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, and tryptophan. EAAs support muscle growth and recovery.

What are micronized free-form amino acids?

Micronized free-form amino acids are single amino acids that are already in a pre-digested form for faster absorption by the body.
