It helps the body absorb calcium, and supports the creation of collagen. Amino acids such as L-Lysine are required to maintain good health. These acids are not manufactured by the human body. People get their required amount of amino acids from food, nutritional supplements, and herbs. Natural sources of this amino acid include red meat, chicken, fish, eggs, tofu, and legumes, such as beans and peas. L-Lysine is linked to the production of carnitine. Carnitine converts fatty acids into energy, which in turn reduces cholesterol in the bloodstream. Lysine has also been used to treat cold sores. Several studies were completed to test the effectiveness of taking L-Lysine supplements on a regular basis to control cold sore and genital herpes outbreaks. These studies had mixed results. While some groups concluded that this supplement prevented outbreaks, other studies showed that the Lysine supplements had no effect on the duration or timing of outbreaks. Since it is connected to the production of collagen, athletes sometimes take lysine supplements. Collagen builds connective tissues and helps the human body maintain lean muscle tissue and burn fat. No major studies support this use of the lysine supplement. voir moins | |

Its form and pattern are derived from a special production process. They are the skins of pigs and cows or demineralized bones from animals that have been slaughtered but approved for human consumption by the veterinary authorities. The collagen protein contained in these materials is the actual raw material used in gelatine manufacture. Gelita® Leaf Gelatine is used in households for cooking but also in bakeries, pastry shops, catering, butcher's and for other non-industrial applications. voir moins | |
| Pycnogenol® | Horphag Research (Europe) LTD, Limassol, Geneva branch | Pycnogenol® French maritime pine bark extract is extracted from the bark of mono-species pine trees grown exclusively in Les Landes de Gascogne forest in southwest France. The forest is unspoiled and natural, with no pesticides, no herbicides. The premium quality of Pycnogenol® components comes from the fact the bark is not subject to seasonal variations, unlike other plants, which makes it an ideal botanical source. The Pycnogenol® extraction process is patented, and complies with the highest quality standards. Pycnogenol® French maritime pine bark extract is a naturally programmed combination with constant proportions of procyanidins, bioflavonoids and organic acids, which offer amazing natural properties. Pycnogenol® unique blend of active compounds has four basic properties – it’s a powerful antioxidant, acts as a natural anti-inflammatory, helps generate collagen...voir plus Pycnogenol® French maritime pine bark extract is extracted from the bark of mono-species pine trees grown exclusively in Les Landes de Gascogne forest in southwest France.

| L-Threonine | I.H.C. Chempharm | L-Threonine (T or Thr) is an amino acid, or a molecule that is one of the building blocks of proteins. It is an essential amino acid, meaning that it can’t be made by the body and therefore must be acquired through the diet. Many different foods contain threonine, including most meats, chicken, cottage cheese, mushrooms, and some leafy vegetables. This amino acid supports many different body functions. Threonine is required for the formation of healthy bones and teeth and plays a role in the immune system because it is a necessary constituent of antibodies. It is also present in large amounts in muscle and connective tissues. It is thought to help contribute to their strength and elasticity due to its high proportion in collagen...voir plus L-Threonine (T or Thr) is an amino acid, or a molecule that is one of the building blocks of proteins.

Many different foods contain threonine, including most meats, chicken, cottage cheese, mushrooms, and some leafy vegetables. This amino acid supports many different body functions. Threonine is required for the formation of healthy bones and teeth and plays a role in the immune system because it is a necessary constituent of antibodies. It is also present in large amounts in muscle and connective tissues. It is thought to help contribute to their strength and elasticity due to its high proportion in collagen and elastin. Finally, it is required for the synthesis of certain neurotransmitters, suggesting a role in neural health. It is well known that threonine is a necessary building block of many proteins, but its actual role in metabolism is not as well known. This amino acid can be converted to pyruvate or to alpha-ketobutyrate and eventually to succinyl-CoA, suggesting an association with the citric acid cycle. It is one of the amino acids that can be phosphorylated, which is a major mechanism by which cells control various signaling pathways. In addition, it is required for the body to synthesize two non-essential amino acids, glycine and serine, both of which play important roles in various physiological functions. voir moins |
