• Pure Aminos
• 9 Essential Amino Acids
• Protein Building Blocks*

Amino acids are the subunits that make up proteins. They are necessary for the function of all cells, for tissue repair, and for the production of enzymes and neurotransmitters.* The body uses 20 amino acids to construct proteins, but nine "essential amino acids" cannot be made by the human body and must be supplied by the diet in order to achieve proper protein synthesis and maintain overall health.* People with limited diets or poor digestion may not get enough essential amino acids from their diet. In contrast to proteins or peptide-bound amino acids, NOW^® Sports Amino-9 Essentials™ has all 9 essential amino acids in their superior free-form state and in the proportions recommended by the National Academy of Sciences to optimize protein synthesis and tissue repair for adults age 19 and over.* Natural color variation may occur in this product. This product is sold by weight not volume.

• Protein Metabolism*
• Nitric Oxide Promoter*
• Urea Detox*

Arginine & Ornithine combines two complementary amino acids in one convenient supplement. Arginine is required for proper elimination of urea from the body, which occurs through a critical metabolic cycle that detoxifies the body of nitrogen compounds that are normal by-products of protein metabolism.* Ornithine is synthesized from arginine and is a precursor of citrulline, proline and glutamic acid.* Both of these amino acids are popular with athletes and other active individuals. Natural color variation may occur in this product.

• 6 Amino Acids
• 5 G BCAAs
• 1.5 G Betaine

BCAA Big 6 is an advanced caffeine-free sports supplement formulated to support exercise endurance and recovery from intense workouts.* BCAA Big 6 features branched-chained amino acids (BCAAs) to support muscle retention and recovery, and betaine to help maintain fluid balance during exercise.* BCAA Big 6 also has taurine, which can further support endurance.* BCAA Big 6 includes citrulline and glutamine to complement this formula. Natural color variation may occur in this product.

• Pure Powder
• Muscular Endurance*
• Delays Muscle Fatigue*

Beta-alanine is a non-essential amino acid that is used by muscle cells to synthesize carnosine.* Carnosine is a dipeptide (beta-alanine plus histidine) that functions as a buffer for the hydrogen ions (acid) produced during strenuous exercise, thus helping to maintain optimum muscular pH.* NOW Sports uses CarnoSyn^®, a patented form of beta-alanine that has been clinically tested and shown to increase muscle carnosine content, allowing muscles to work harder and longer during intense exercise.* NOW^® Sports Beta-Alanine is backed by scientific research demonstrating that CarnoSyn^® supplementation results in delayed muscle fatigue and rapid recovery time, thereby helping you attain your strength and endurance training goals.* Natural Alternatives International (NAI) is the owner of patents as listed on www.carnosyn.com and registered trademark CarnoSyn^®. This product is sold by weight not volume. Natural color variation may occur in this product.

• Promotes Relaxation*
• Eases Nervous Tension*
• Plus Taurine, Inositol and L-Theanine
• Sweetened with Xylitol

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a non-protein amino acid that functions as a neurotransmitter in the human brain.* GABA is naturally produced in the body and its presence within the central nervous system may help promote relaxation and ease nervous tension.* Delicious orange flavor NOW^® Chewable GABA combines this naturally occurring neurotransmitter with the relaxing amino acids taurine and theanine for their complementary functions.* Natural color variation may occur in this product.

• Conditionally Essential Amino Acid
• Nitric Oxide Precursor*

Arginine is a conditionally essential basic amino acid involved primarily in urea metabolism and excretion, as well as in DNA synthesis and protein production.* It is an important precursor of nitric oxide (NO) and thus plays a role in the dilation of blood vessels.* The L-Arginine used in this product is pharmaceutical grade. Natural color variation may occur in this product.

• Purest Form, Clinically Tested
• Boosts Cellular Energy*
• Transports Fatty Acids*

L-Carnitine is a non-essential amino acid that helps to maintain overall good health by facilitating the transfer of fatty acid groups into the mitochondrial membrane for cellular energy production.* It naturally occurs in red meat and other animal source foods, but we recommend supplementation to obtain optimal levels of this excellent amino acid. NOW^® L-Carnitine is the purest form, clinically tested, and vegetarian (non-animal sourced). Natural color variation may occur in this product.
