Amino acids are used by the body to build proteins. Proteins are essential for the formation of cells and are also involved in the biochemical structure of hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters and antibodies.
Amino acids are classified as either essential or non-essential. Essential amino acids cannot be synthesised in the body and must be obtained from the diet, whereas non-essential amino acids, whilst still essential for health, can be synthesised in the body and are therefore not classified as 'essential'.
Lamberts® premium grade amino acids are presented in their 'free form' for maximum absorption and utilisation.

L-Arginine (500mg)

Arginine is a Non Essential Amino Acid, but is an Essential nutrient in cats, rats and other mammals. In man, Arginine is only required in the diet under certain conditions.
Arginine is required for optimum growth and takes part in the release of the Growth Hormone. It is the immediate precursor of Ornithine, which also plays a role in the urea cycle. Arginine is concerned in the removal from the body of Ammonia which is a waste product of Nitrogen metabolism.
A variety of functions depend upon a sufficiency of Arginine e.g. Glucose Tolerance, Insulin Production and Liver Lipid Metabolism.

L-Carnitine (500mg)

Carnitine’s most important known metabolic function is to transport long chain fatty acids into the mitochondria of muscle cells where they are oxidised and burned for energy. Cardiac muscle is especially dependent upon this mechanism as an important source of metabolic energy. In addition carnitine plays a role in the production of heat (thermogenesis) of brown adipose tissue and in the regulation of glucose production (gluconeogenesis).
Since carnitine primarily regulates fat burning in the body those undergoing intensive physical training often choose to supplement with this product.
As with all our amino acids, Lamberts® L-Carnitine is presented in its free-form for maximum absorption. Each capsule provides a full 500mg of L-Carnitine.

Quantity:

L-Cysteine (500mg)

Like all other amino acids cysteine's most important function is to contribute to the structure of proteins. One such protein that cysteine helps to form the structure of is keratin, which is found in hair, skin and nails. It also acts as a detoxifier and plays a role in energy metabolism and fatty acid synthesis.
As with all our amino acids, Lamberts L-Cysteine is presented in its free-form for maximum absorption. Each capsule provides a full 500mg of L-Cysteine.

L-Glutamine Powder (500g)

Amino acids are used by the body to build proteins. Proteins are essential for the formation of cells and are also involved in the biochemical structure of hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters and antibodies. Individually, amino acids also possess a vast array of properties.

FOR GUT HEALTH
Glutamine is particularly important for the health of the gut with the cells of the gut lining obtaining much of their growth material through utilising glutamine as a fuel. This is why, out of the 20 amino acids, glutamine, is often referred to as the ‘gut restorer’ amongst practitioners.

FOR SPORTS RECOVERY
Large quantities of glutamine are stored in our muscles where it plays an important role in repairing and building new muscle. Heavy training can deplete our glutamine stores so a supplement may help speed recovery.

Lamberts® amino acids are presented in their natural ‘L’ free-form, which means that they are ready to be absorbed and used by the body.

Quantity:

L-Glutamine (500mg)

Glutamine requirements are increased in the body during periods of ill health. In particular supplementation is important for improving gut barrier function or treating leaky gut syndrome. The cells of the gut lining - the enterocytes, obtain much of their growth material through utilising glutamine as a fuel and this requirement increases during illness.
Practitioners frequently recommend daily doses of between 1 to 2 grams of this preparation when the integrity of the gut wall is compromised, as is often the case in IBS, Candida albicans overgrowth (and other microflora imbalances) and some chronic conditions associated with poor gut function.

L-Glutathione Complex

Amino acids are used by the body to build proteins. Proteins are essential for the formation of cells and are also involved in the biochemical structure of hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters and antibodies.
L-Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of cysteine, glutamic acid and glycine. Of its many roles in the body it is best known as a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants help to neutralise harmful free radicals that are produced quite naturally in the human body and which, if allowed to proceed unchecked, can harm tissues and organs.

Quantity:

L-Histidine HCI (500mg)

Amino acids are used by the body to build proteins. Proteins are essential for the formation of cells and are also involved in the biochemical structure of hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters and antibodies.
The neurotransmitter, histamine, which is released during allergic reactions such as hayfever, is derived from the amino acid histidine. Histidine is also necessary for the maintenance of the myelin sheath of nerves.
As with all our amino acids, Lamberts L-Histidine is presented in its free-form for maximum absorption. Each capsule provides a full 500mg of L-Histidine.

Quantity:

L-Lysine (500mg)

Lysine is an essential amino acid. Like all amino acids it functions as a building block for proteins. Proteins are essential for the formation of cells and are also involved in the biochemical structure of hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters and antibodies.
Lysine is abundant in animal based foodstuffs such as red meat but found in much lower quantities in most vegetables. Hence, low dietary intakes are frequently seen in vegetarians.
Studies suggest that lysine may be helpful in controlling herpes simplex-related infections, which is the virus that causes cold sores.

L-Methionine (500mg)

Amino acids are classified as either essential or non-essential. Essential amino acids cannot be synthesised in the body and must be obtained from the diet, whereas non-essential amino acids, whilst still essential for health, can be synthesised in the body and are therefore not classified as 'essential'.
This sulphur containing essential amino acid has antioxidant properties and is necessary for the mineral selenium to be absorbed and utilised. Additionally, methionine can be a detoxifying agent assisting in the removal of certain heavy metals from the body.
As with all our amino acids, Lamberts L-Methionine is presented in its free-form for maximum absorption. Each capsule provides a full 500mg of L-Methionine

L-Ornithine (500mg)

Amino acids are used by the body to build proteins. Proteins are essential for the formation of cells and are also involved in the biochemical structure of hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters and antibodies.
Ornithine releases growth hormone and helps maintain the health of the immune system and the liver. It has similar properties to arginine since these two amino acids convert into one another in the body, as required.
As with all our amino acids, Lamberts L- Ornithine is presented in its free-form for maximum absorption. Each capsule provides a full 500mg of L- Ornithine.

L-Phenylalanine (500mg)

Amino acids are classified as either essential or non-essential. Essential amino acids cannot be synthesised in the body and must be obtained from the diet, whereas non-essential amino acids, whilst still essential for health, can be synthesised in the body and are therefore not classified as 'essential'.
Phenylalaine is an essential amino acid and is the precursor for the amino acid tyrosine. Like tyrosine, it is the precursor for the neurotransmitters called catecholamines (adrenaline, noradrenaline and dopamine).
As with all our amino acids, Lamberts L-Phenylalanine is presented in its free-form for maximum absorption. Each capsule provides a full 500mg of L-Phenylalanine.

L-Theanine

Everyone knows that a nice cup of tea is the best thing for someone who has had some kind of shock or stressful ordeal. No other hot drink seems to offer this kind of support so there must be something in tea that has this calming effect.
Tea certainly contains a surprising amount of caffeine and yet is not generally considered as a stimulant in the same way that coffee is. Some researchers think that this maybe because tea contains something else – in effect cancelling out the caffeine.
The mystery ingredient in tea is now thought to be an amino acid called L-Theanine. Whilst it is not unique to tea, the tea plant seems a particularly rich source. When L-Theanine has been given to people in clinical studies many of the positive effects of tea can be reproduced.
We are delighted to introduce L-Theanine to the Lamberts® range. We have chosen to use Suntheanine® since this is a patented pharmaceutical grade L-Theanine whereas other L-Theanine products can contain up to 50% of the inactive ‘D’ form. It is also the product that has been used in numerous clinical studies worldwide.

L-Tyrosine (500mg)

Amino acids are classified as either essential or non-essential. Essential amino acids cannot be synthesised in the body and must be obtained from the diet, whereas non-essential amino acids, whilst still essential for health, can be synthesised in the body and are therefore not classified as 'essential'.
Tyrosine is considered a non-essential amino acid because the body can make it from phenylalanine. It is important to brain nutrition because it is a precursor of the neurotransmitters - dopamine, adrenaline and noradrenaline. It also acts as a precursor for certain hormones, including thyroxine and for the major human pigment melanin.
As with all our amino acids, Lamberts L-Tyrosine is presented in its free-form for maximum absorption. Each capsule provides a full 500mg of L-Tyrosine.
