High purity amino acid  (code #58A)

L-Alanine is a non-essential amino acid (non-essential = can be made by the human body and does not need to be acquired from food/diet). It is involved in the energy-producing breakdown of glucose. Alanine is responsible for making "energy" available to the body when sudden activity ensues (e.g. "flight" response or sprinting down the street) and/or extra energy is needed (intense aerobic activity).

Why is L-Alanine important?

L-Alanine may be helpful as a supplement for individuals who maintain intense and/or rigorous workout routines. Alanine has been found in prostate fluid and there is some evidence that it may play a role in prostate health (Alanine coupled with Glycine and Glutamic Acid).

Interactions/Precautions  No known interactions. | Please consult your physician prior to adding L-Alanine to your daily regimen, especially if you are taking medication.
