- Part of the 200 mg blend
What it is
Amino acids are small molecules that your body links together to build proteins. Some come from food, and some your body makes itself. The blend lists L-glutamine, L-tyrosine, L-arginine, beta-alanine, GABA, L-ornithine HCl, L-tryptophan and L-carnitine.
Where it comes from
Protein foods such as eggs, fish, poultry, dairy, beans and nuts supply most of these. L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid, so it must come from food. L-carnitine is found in meat and fish, and the body also makes it.
Why it is in GlycoReset
GlycoReset adds this group to its blend to support everyday energy.* The label gives the whole blend as 200 mg, so we describe each group in words and leave the amounts to the bottle. Read Amino Acids in Plain Words.

Common questions
Are these the same as protein powder?
No. Protein powder is whole protein, while this is a handful of single amino acids in a small blend.
What is GABA?
Gamma-aminobutyric acid, an amino acid the body also makes as a messenger.
Why are amounts not split out?
The label lists the blend as a total. See the blend guide for how that works.
