Amino Acid Boosters

Fuel your body with amino acid boosters to support muscle recovery, boost energy, and promote overall wellness.

Amino acid boosters may support overall wellness by helping the body maintain energy, muscle function, immune health, and metabolic balance. When paired with a healthy diet and regular exercise, they may also support weight-management goals by helping preserve lean muscle, promote recovery, and encourage more efficient nutrient utilization. Some patients also report improved focus, mental clarity, physical comfort, and overall sense of well-being. Because amino acids play an important role in many essential body processes, they can be a helpful addition to a broader wellness plan for patients looking to support both physical and cognitive health.

GAC

Glutamine · Arginine · Carnitine

Amino Acid Booster

GAC

25MG / 100MG / 200MG / ML

Glutamine Arginine Carnitine

Clinical Benefits

GAC Amino Acid Booster has several clinical benefits including enhancement of weight loss and fat burning, increased mental clarity, improved immune function, promotion of muscle growth and decreased muscle wasting, and reduction of inflammation.

Key Ingredients

Glutamine — One of 20 naturally occurring amino acids in dietary protein. In fact, L-glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the bloodstream and makes up 30–35 percent of the amino acid nitrogen in your blood.

Arginine — An amino acid that changes into nitric oxide (NO). Nitric oxide is a powerful neurotransmitter that helps blood vessels relax and also improves circulation.

Carnitine — An amino acid that benefits energy levels by transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria where they can be burned up and used as fuel. For this reason, many take carnitine as a weight loss supplement to help bump up fat burning.

Dosing

Low — 1mL (100 units) weekly Mid — 1mL (100 units) 1–2x weekly High — 1mL (100 units) 3x weekly

We recommend starting at the Mid dosing level for most patients. You can titrate up or down based on your individual response.

Storage

❄ Refrigerate

Injection

Sub-Q or IM (we order as subcutaneous by default).

Side Effects: All medications may cause side effects. However, many people have no side effects or only have minor side effects. Common minor side effects include nausea, headache, or localized skin reactions.

Amino Acid Booster

GACLIV

25MG / 100MG / 200MG / 10MG / 10MG / 5MG / ML

Glutamine Arginine Carnitine Leucine Isoleucine Valine

Clinical Benefits

GACLIV Amino Acid Booster has several clinical benefits including enhancement of weight loss and fat burning, increased mental clarity, improved immune function, promotion of muscle growth and decreased muscle wasting, and reduction of inflammation.

Key Ingredients

Glutamine — One of 20 naturally occurring amino acids in the dietary protein. In fact, L-glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the bloodstream and makes up 30–35 percent of the amino acid nitrogen in your blood.

Carnitine — An amino acid that benefits energy levels by transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria where they can be burned up and used as fuel. For this reason, many take carnitine as a weight loss supplement to help bump up fat burning.

Leucine — One of the nine essential amino acids and is important for protein synthesis and many metabolic functions. Leucine contributes to the regulation of blood-sugar levels; growth and repair of muscle and bone tissue; growth hormone production; and wound healing. Leucine also prevents the breakdown of muscle proteins after trauma or severe stress.

Isoleucine — Part of the BCAA group which are significant to human life and are expressly involved in energy, muscle metabolism, and stress. Isoleucine has various physiological functions, such as assisting wound healing, detoxification of nitrogenous wastes, stimulating immune function, and promoting secretion of several hormones. Necessary for hemoglobin formation and regulating blood sugar and energy levels, isoleucine is concentrated in muscle tissues in humans.

Valine — A branched-chain essential amino acid that has stimulant activity. It promotes muscle growth and tissue repair. L-valine is an essential amino acid, meaning that it is not able to be biosynthesized in the human body. It must, therefore, be obtained through dietary sources.

Dosing

Low — 1mL (100 units) weekly Mid — 1mL (100 units) 1–2x weekly High — 1mL (100 units) 3x weekly

We recommend starting at the Mid dosing level for most patients. You can titrate up or down based on your individual response.

L-Carnitine

Levocarnitine — 500 mg/mL

Amino Acid Booster

L-Carnitine (Levocarnitine)

500 mg / mL — Empower L-Carnitine 30 (30 mL vial)

L-Carnitine (Levocarnitine)

What It Does

L-Carnitine, also known as levocarnitine, is an amino acid derivative that plays an important role in cellular energy production. L-Carnitine helps transport long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they can be used by the body as a source of energy. Because of this role, L-Carnitine may help support energy levels, muscle function, exercise performance, metabolic health, and fat metabolism when combined with appropriate nutrition and physical activity.

About L-Carnitine

Carnitine is a naturally occurring compound made in the body, primarily in the liver and kidneys, and is also obtained through dietary sources. It is stored mainly in skeletal muscle, with smaller amounts found in the heart, brain, and other tissues. L-Carnitine's primary role is to help move fatty acids into the mitochondria, which are the energy-producing structures inside cells. Once inside the mitochondria, fatty acids can be broken down and used for energy. This process is especially important for tissues with high energy demands, including muscle and heart tissue.

Potential Benefits

L-Carnitine supplementation may help support energy production, fat metabolism, muscle function, exercise performance and recovery, reduction of fatigue in some patients, metabolic health, and weight-management efforts when used alongside appropriate diet and physical activity.

ℹ️ Please Note: L-Carnitine is not a stimulant and should not be viewed as a stand-alone weight-loss medication. Its role is best understood as metabolic support, particularly for patients whose provider determines that supplementation may be appropriate.

Dosing

Low — 1mL (100 units / 500mg) once weekly Mid — 1mL (100 units / 500mg) 2x weekly High — 1mL (100 units / 500mg) 3x weekly

Most patients are recommended to start at the low dosing level and adjust only as directed by their provider based on individual response and tolerability.

Storage

🌞 Room Temperature (20–25°C / 68–77°F) or Refrigerated (2–8°C / 36–46°F)

Keep the vial in its original packaging, protect it from light, and do not freeze it. If you are unsure whether your medication has been stored properly, contact the pharmacy or your provider before using it. BUD: Up to 90 days.

Injection

Intramuscularly (IM) as directed by your provider.

Side Effects: All medications and supplements may cause side effects. Many people have no side effects or only mild side effects. The most commonly reported side effects of L-Carnitine include nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, stomach discomfort, headache, mild body odor or fish-like odor, and localized injection site discomfort, redness, itching, swelling, or irritation. Gastrointestinal side effects may be more likely when larger doses are used or when doses are administered rapidly. If you experience uncomfortable side effects, contact your provider for guidance.

Serious Side Effects: Stop using L-Carnitine and seek medical attention right away if you experience signs of a serious allergic reaction, including rash, hives, itching, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, wheezing, tightness in the chest or throat, trouble breathing, or trouble swallowing.

Patients with a history of seizures should use L-Carnitine only under the guidance of their provider.
