Amino Acid Suprem provide essential amino acids in their free form, which makes them immediately available for absorption. This allows that they can be put to metabolic use much more readily and rapidly than amino acids contained in dietary protein. This may be especially beneficial for individuals with compromised digestive function, those recovering from physical trauma, and those (such as the elderly) who may have difficulty consuming an adequate amount of complete protein. Alpha-ketoglutarate and vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal-5-phosphate) are included for optimal absorption and efficacy.
