NORMAL SALINE

• Normal saline 500mL bag includes sodium and chloride
• Sodium is an electrolyte that regulates the amount of water in the body and is a key element in cellular function and hydration 
• A 2016 study demonstrated that increased hydration contributes to increased metabolic function and increased lipolysis (breakdown of fats) by promoting mitochondria function within the cell.

• Choline is a major lipotrope that specifically targets lipid deposits (fat deposits) throughout the body, especially the liver, and mobilizes the fat allowing our bodies to more readily consume them.
  • Note: Lipotropes are compounds that help accelerate the breakdown of fat during metabolism in the body.
• Carnitine is an amino acid that transports long chain fatty acids into the mitochondria “powerhouse” of our cells so they can be oxidized (used) to produce energy.  Given these characteristics Carnitine is concentrated in our skeletal and cardiac muscles that utilize fatty acids as dietary fuel. 
• Methionine is a principal supplier of sulfur, which prevents disorders of the hair, skin and nails.  It helps lower cholesterol levels by increasing the liver’s production of lecithin and reduces liver fat. Research currently underway to explore Methionine’s function as a powerful antioxidant.
• Inositol intake improves lipid metabolism by lowering visceral fat, hepatic lipid accumulation and increasing insulin secretion as well as increasing adiponectin concentration which is a crucial hormone for regulating blood glucose levels and fatty acid breakdown. A meta-analysis of 14 randomized controlled trials demonstrated that Inositol supplementation significantly decreased triglyceride, total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL or “bad cholesterol”) levels. 

AMINO BLEND

• This unique blend provides essential amino acids that our bodies can only obtain through diet, as well as other amino acids that assist in building our muscle mass, which in turn increases our metabolic rate and burns fat.
