Glutamine

Glutamine is a powerful growth hormone releaser. Some studies have shown that 5g of glutamine taken on an empty stomach can increase your growth hormone levels 400%. This could make you a lot younger. For example growth hormone levels decrease to half of youthful levels by age 40. The good news is that as far as amino acids and supplements go glutamine tastes quite ok. The bad news is unfortunately that glutamine is easily destroyed by stomach acidity therefore considering that although it is one of the cheaper supplements it still costs money, it should be taken with a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to neutralize the stomach acid.

Carnitine

How exciting is this? Hart A, M. et al. restored depleted acetyl l carnitine levels in HIV infected people with peripheral neuropathy. Nerve proliferation increased roughly 80% in six months, but continued for a total of 24 months! This greatly eased the burning pain of most sufferers. The dose was 1.5g twice a day.
