| While energy comes from a wealth of sources, the transfer and utilization of long chain fatty acids plays a vital role in this crucial process. NOW Acetyl L-Carnitine (ACL) does exactly that. As we age, our natural production of ACL gradually shows signs of decline. Incorporating this stabilized form of L-Carnitine into our diet is an effective way to ensure that we're producing the energy we need to live full and active
lives.

After two months, they then combined them.

SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine), a compound native to the body, is a critical component of many biochemical reactions, including those that affect brain biochemistry and joint health. Numerous studies have indicated that SAMe can help to temporarily alleviate minor joint discomfort resulting from overexertion or stress. In addition, because SAMe is also necessary for the synthesis of neurotransmitters, it plays an important role in mood support. NOW® SAMe is enteric-coated, which makes it very well tolerated and protects it from degradation.

Commonly found in a variety of meats, dairy products and eggs, the amino acid Taurine can be obtained from the diet in minimal amounts. Unfortunately, physical activity depletes our Taurine reserves faster than most people can produce it. As a result, vegetarians, athletes and individuals lacking meat in their diets are at the greatest risk for deficiency, and stand to benefit the most from supplementing this life-crucial
nutrient.
