Nutricology Free Aminos - Complejo de Aminoácidos Esenciales con 5-HTP - 100 Cápsulas

What are essential amino acids and why are they important?

Essential amino acids are the building blocks of proteins that the human body cannot produce on its own. They must be obtained through diet or supplementation. These compounds play key roles in muscle protein synthesis, enzyme and neurotransmitter production, and the maintenance of a healthy metabolism. An essential amino acid complex like Nutricology Free Aminos provides a complete blend to support these vital functions.

Benefits of an amino acid complex with 5-HTP

The combination of 17 free-form amino acids with 5-HTP offers multiple benefits. Essential amino acids contribute to the maintenance of muscle mass and energy metabolism, while 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is a direct precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in mood, sleep, and appetite regulation. This synergy can support both physical performance and mental well-being, always within a balanced lifestyle.

What makes Nutricology Free Aminos unique?

Nutricology Free Aminos is distinguished by its free-form formulation, meaning that the amino acids are not bound to other compounds, facilitating their absorption. It includes all 9 essential amino acids plus 8 other non-essential ones, totaling 17, plus 5-HTP. The product is free of gluten, dairy, soy, nuts, egg, shellfish, fish, and sesame, and suitable for vegetarians. In addition, it is part of the Allergy Research Group range, a company with over 45 years of experience in high-purity, science-backed supplements.

How to take amino acids optimally?

The recommended dose is 2 capsules daily, preferably with water and between meals, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

It is important not to exceed the recommended daily dose and to remember that supplements are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet.
