nutri+ L-lysine capsules L-lysine is an essential amino acid that the body cannot produce itself and must therefore be taken in with food. In contrast to the other 7 amino acids designated as essential, lysine (as well as threonine) cannot be synthesised endogenously from the corresponding keto acids. L-lysine is therefore absolutely essential. In certain situations it therefore makes sense to supplement L-lysine with appropriate food supplements. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), an amount of 30 to 64 mg of L-lysine per kg of body weight should be consumed per day. Most plant-based foods are low in lysine. Lysine is the limiting amino acid in many plant proteins (e.g. in cereals such as wheat or maize) and reduces the biological value. But there are also exceptions: Rice or pulses such as peas, lentils or soya are rich in lysine. In certain situations it therefore makes sense to supplement L-lysine with appropriate food Supplements. L-lysine is a component of collagen, where it occurs as modified ‘hydroxylysine’. Collagen is an essential building material of connective tissue (in bones, cartilage, tendons and ligaments) and the skin. A lysine deficiency therefore leads to weakened connective tissue.  You can read more about the importance of lysine for connective tissue here. L-lysine is also of particular importance as a precursor of carnitine. Carnitine plays an important role in energy and fat metabolism, as it transports fatty acids into the mitochondria. When and how should L-lysine be taken? L-lysine should be taken daily. The recommended intake is 1-3 g and can also be taken throughout the day.

Vegan Collagen Formation Support Powder – without animal suffering Collagen products are currently very trendy. According to the motto true beauty comes from within they promise radiant skin, full hair and strong nails. However, collagen is of animal origin and accordingly products containing collagen are based on animal raw materials. With our nutri+ Vegan Collagen Formation Support Powder vegetarians and vegans can now also benefit from the trend! Unfortunately, we can't do magic and provide you with vegan collagen, but the Vegan Collagen Formation Support powder contains all the important building blocks and cofactors you need for the body's own collagen formation need. The unique nutrient composition helps you make your insides and outsides shine - completely without animal suffering. Unique nutrient complex made from collagen-forming amino acids, hyaluronic acid, coenzyme Q10 and micronutrients The Vegan Collagen powder offers you a vegan alternative to conventional collagen powder. The nutritional supplement to support collagen formation contains an innovative formula made up of amino acids, hyaluronic acid, coenzyme Q10, ginseng root extract, vitamin C and other essential micronutrients. The amino acids glycine, proline and hydroxyproline are the most common building blocks of collagen. Hydroxyproline is - with the help of Vitamin C – formed from proline. Another indispensable collagen component is Lysine. The essential amino acid plays an important role, especially in the cross-linking of collagen fibers. Glutamine and arginine are also required for collagen synthesis. The two amino acids are considered to be conditionally essential and taking them through food supplements can be useful in certain situations (e.g. in the case of injuries or heavy physical strain). The Vegan Collagen Formation Support powder provides you with amino acids and micronutrients that your body needs to produce collagen. In highest quality and bioavailability - without unnecessary additives. • Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for normal function of the skin, blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums and teeth . • Vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc and copper help protect cells from oxidative stress. • Biotin and zinc contribute to the maintenance of normal skin and hair. • Copper contributes to the maintenance of normal connective tissue. The formula developed by nutritionists supports natural collagen production. In addition to important building blocks and cofactors for collagen synthesis, the nutri+ Vegan Collagen powder contains hyaluronic acid, coenzyme Q10 and ginseng root extract. What is collagen good for and how does a deficiency show up? Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. As a structural protein, it is an important component of our connective tissue and not only ensures the elasticity of the skin, but also supports bones, tendons and muscles. Collagen production in the body decreases with age. The consequences are wrinkles and sagging skin, but the health of our joints, muscles, tendons and bones are also affected. A collagen deficiency can occur, for example: B. in weak connective tissue (cellulite), joint pain, muscle weakness or an increased risk of injury.   Due to the raw material properties, slight clumping may occur after long-term storage. To avoid this, the bag should be kneaded regularly.   This product should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet. Take care of a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the stated recommended daily dose. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and out of the reach of children. Pregnant and nursing women should consult a physician before taking any Supplements. Sources: G.-Y. Lee et al.

nutri+ Glycine powder Glycine is one of the semi-essential amino acids and plays an important role in building up the body's own protein. As a protein building block, glycine has numerous functions in our body. For example, the amino acid is required for the formation of the red blood pigment haemoglobin, creatine (important for supplying energy to the muscles) and DNA. Glycine is also an essential component of the structural protein collagen. Bile acid, which is essential for fat digestion, also contains glycine. In addition, glycine acts as an inhibitory (inhibiting or calming) neurotransmitter in the nervous system and is a component of glutathione, an important endogenous antioxidant. The amino acid is a true all-rounder and a popular dietary supplement among vegetarians and vegans. We use pure vegan glycine for our glycine powder, which is GMO-free, additive-free and free from animal ingredients. The glycine powder has a pleasantly sweet flavour and can be easily stirred into water or other drinks. One daily portion of powder (1 scoop) corresponds to 5 g of pure glycine. Laboratory-tested quality and highest purity - without additives! This product should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet. Take care of a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the stated recommended daily dose. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and out of the reach of children. Pregnant and nursing women should consult a physician before taking any Supplements.   Source: Razak et al. Multifarious Beneficial Effect of Nonessential Amino Acid, Glycine: A Review.
