Amino Acid Synergy is useful as a general supplement for individuals whose diets may be insufficient in quality protein intake, such as athletes who require additional amino acids to maintain or build lean body mass or for individuals who have confirmed amino acid deficiencies from metabolic testing.* Amino Acid Synergy provides a mixture of essential amino acids in the free form, meaning they are immediately available for absorption and can be metabolically used more readily and rapidly as compared with amino acids that are contained in dietary protein. Recommended Use: Take 4 capsules per day between meals or as directed by your health-care practitioner.
