  • Essential Amino Acids: Provides a rich spectrum of biologically active amino acids crucial for cellular repair, metabolic function, and muscle recovery.
  • Vitamins & Minerals: Naturally abundant in the B-Vitamin complex (B1, B2, B3, B6), Vitamin C, and Vitamin E, alongside essential trace minerals including Calcium, Iron, Zinc, Magnesium, and Potassium.
  • Secondary Metabolites (Phytochemicals): Rich in naturally occurring phytosterols, phenylethylamines, and polyphenols, offering powerful antioxidant neuroprotective properties.
