NOW Foods Amino Complete
NOW Foods Amino Complete is an amino acid blend in capsule form, for people who want a broad mix of amino acids in an easy-to-take format.
Key features
- A blend of amino acids in a single capsule product
- Capsules rather than powder, so there is nothing to mix or measure
- May suit people whose diets are limited in protein-rich foods
- Two pack sizes for shorter or longer-term use
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Every cell in the body needs them, and they are used in making enzymes and repairing tissue. The body draws on 20 different amino acids to build proteins, and some of these have to come from the diet because they cannot be made internally. A capsule blend is a simple way to take a range of them together.
Available in 120 and 360 capsule sizes.
