Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid with various functions in the body. Although the body can synthesize arginine from glutamine and proline, its own production is often not sufficient. That is why it is important to get arginine through food or supplements. Dietary sources of arginine include nuts, seeds, legumes and meat.
Arginine was first isolated from food in the nineteenth century. Nowadays it is often used as a supplement by people with an active and sporty lifestyle.

L-Carnitine is often considered an amino acid because of its similar molecular structure. The body uses carnitine for fat burning and as an energy source for the heart muscle. Athletes and people who train intensively often need extra carnitine.
Men generally have a higher need for carnitine than women. L-carnitine is closely related to the B vitamins. The word 'carnitine' comes from the Latin 'carne', which means 'meat'. Carnitine occurs naturally in meat, while the amount of carnitine in plant foods is negligible. Although the body itself can produce carnitine from lysine and methionine, this production is often insufficient when the need is increased.

L-Glutamine is a semi-essential amino acid, which means that our body cannot produce it sufficiently in certain situations, such as during intensive sports practice. Athletes and people who train intensively often have an increased need for glutamine.
Glutamine occurs naturally in meat, fish and dairy. However, these sources are sometimes not sufficient to meet the increased needs, so supplementation may be necessary. In addition to animal sources, we also find glutamine in plant-based, protein-rich foods such as beans, grains and some vegetables.
Glutamine, like all amino acids, plays a crucial role in various biochemical processes in our body. Amino acids are often referred to as the 'building blocks of life'. 

Glutathione is a tripeptide consisting of the amino acids glutamic acid, glycine and cysteine. It functions as a powerful antioxidant and neutralizes free radicals. This essential compound is found in all our cells, tissues, body fluids and organ systems, so it is present virtually everywhere in our body.
Physical exercise increases glutathione levels in the blood and skeletal muscles. However, intensive sports activity also consumes a lot of glutathione.
Glutathione is a versatile multitasker, but is vulnerable to the influence of our modern lifestyle. Fortunately, there is a natural way to support the body in the production of glutathione. Through supplementation or a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables and lean protein, we can maintain normal glutathione levels.

Lysine is an essential amino acid, meaning the body cannot produce it itself and must therefore obtain it from food or supplements. Lysine is found in meat, vegetables and fruit, among other things. It plays a role in various biochemical processes in the body. For example, L-lysine helps with the absorption of calcium and is a building block for the production of proteins.

Selenium is an essential mineral that plays a role in various processes in our body. It is bound to methionine, an essential sulfur amino acid. This powerful mineral supports the thyroid, promotes fertility in men and contributes to healthy hair and nails. As an antioxidant, it protects our immune system and helps protect healthy tissues and cells in our body against oxidative damage.
We can get selenium from food, both plant and animal sources. The amount of selenium in plant foods can vary depending on the amount of selenium in the soil in which the plants grow. In order not to be dependent on varying factors, it can be useful to take a selenium supplement.

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid, which means that the body cannot produce it itself and must therefore get it from food or supplementation. Tryptophan is found in meat, vegetables and fruit, among other things. Tryptophan is the only precursor of the neurotransmitter serotonin. Tryptophan also has several other functions.

Lactoferrin, a natural substance present in breast milk and various body fluids, is composed of the words "lacto", referring to milk, and "ferrin", referring to iron. It acts as a protein that binds iron and is mainly located in mucous membranes, nasal and respiratory tracts and the gastrointestinal tract. This property is beneficial because it helps sequester iron, which prevents bad bacteria from thriving in the intestines. Lactoferrin plays several roles in our bodies and although our bodies can produce it in limited quantities, as humans we mainly receive large amounts shortly after birth.

Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is a versatile herb that plays an important role in Ayurvedic medicine. It is known for its beneficial effects on digestion and maintaining flexible joints, while also soothing the respiratory tract.

Magnesium is available in various organic forms such as magnesium citrate and the more absorbable organic form magnesium malate. Magnesium is also an important mineral for the body, as it is involved in many processes. Magnesium is essential for more than 300 enzymatic processes in the body, including protein synthesis. But also the electrolyte balance, the nervous system, energy management, normal cell division, concentration, memory and mood. Magnesium is also good for the muscles, bones and teeth.

Magnesium malate is a powerful form of magnesium that is specifically aimed at boosting physical energy. This mineral is bound to malic acid, an essential part of our energy production. Due to this unique compound, magnesium malate can help relax the muscles and at the same time provide energy to the muscle cells. Malic acid plays a crucial role in the citric acid cycle, which produces almost all of our energy. Therefore, magnesium malate can reduce fatigue and promote energy metabolism.
This easily absorbable form of magnesium is the ideal choice to increase your energy levels during the day. Magnesium malate activates the natural energy in the body. Magnesium is a mineral that is present in every cell of the body and is essential for many bodily functions.
