Arginine becomes nitric oxide (a blood vessel-widening agent called a vasodilator) in the body. Early evidence suggests that arginine may help treat medical conditions that improve with increased vasodilation, such as chest pain, clogged arteries, heart disease, heart failure, erectile dysfunction, peripheral vascular disease, and headaches from blood vessel swelling. Arginine also triggers the body to make protein and has been studied for healing wounds, enhancing sperm production, and preventing tissue wasting in people with critical illnesses.

Choline is a vitamin-like nutrient that helps export accumulating fats in the liver and helps prevent liver damage. It is needed for the synthesis of acetylcholine, a key neurotransmitter, which helps maintain cell membranes, transmit nerve impulses, process fat and perform other tasks.

Cyanocobalamin (B-12) is a vital water-soluble nutrient critical for maintaining normal functioning nerve cells. Vitamin B12 is also referred to as the energy vitamin, since it will provide an energy boost after injection as well as increase metabolism. Vitamin B12 is used in the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, and is required for fatty acid synthesis.

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid (building block of protein) in the body. The body can make enough glutamine for its regular needs, but extreme stress (the kind you would experience after very heavy exercise or an injury), may cause your body to need more glutamine than it can make. Most glutamine is stored in muscles. Glutamine is important for removing excess ammonia (a common waste product in the body). It also helps your immune system function and appears to be needed for normal brain function and digestion.

Glutathione is an antioxidant that is contained within our bodies and acts as a buffer for any harmful toxins, chemicals or damaged cells that are introduced. Luckily the body is capable of producing its own glutathione, which keeps the body healthy and functioning properly. Glutathione can be depleted rather quickly if a person is sick, has been working out hard, drinking or smoking, which can lead to more illness. In fact when people have an illness or disease they also are low in glutathione, which can then lead to additional health issues. Glutathione has been used in treatments for chronic fatigue syndrome, heart disease, chronic infections, autoimmune disease, diabetes, autism and Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, arthritis, asthma, kidney problems, liver disease, fertility and more. In fact glutathione is so powerful that it is used regularly to combat the negative radiation effects of chemotherapy!

   Another benefit to Glutathione is recovery in athletes and those leading active lifestyles. Several studies have shown that test subjects supplementing glutathione had an increase in lean muscle mass over control groups that did not add glutathione. Presumably the increased glutathione removes the damage and free radicals caused by the workout which speeds up the body’s ability to heal and rebuild muscle.

Inositol is a B vitamin and it plays a role in nerve transmission and fat metabolism. Inositol can help lower cholesterol levels.

Isoleucine is also an essential amino acid that you cannot produce on your own. Dietary proteins are a source of this amino acid as well, including eggs, seaweed, fish and many seeds. Isoleucine is an important amino acid as it assists your body in the utilization of ketone bodies and fatty acids. This is a critical process of fat mobilization and utilization. A deficit of this amino acid can not only limit your ability to mobilize fat, but cause cerebral dysfunction.

L-Carnitine is a natural molecule that acts as an antioxidant. Carnitine helps the body turn fat into energy. This antioxidant aids in weight loss, exercise performance, peripheral vascular disease, kidney disease and male sexual health.

All of the nutrient formulas used at Titan Medical Center and have been thoroughly researched. These formulas have been shown to be effective in the treatment of certain conditions. All nutrients and substances used in our infusions have been compounded by a licensed US Pharmacy. For the safety of our patients, the pharmacy we use for our injectable nutrients has been personally visited by our medical director to confirm they have a proper “clean-room” for compounding sterile injections. Each batch is sent to an independent lab for testing to confirm sterility, potency, and shelf-life. We offer a select menu of affordable injectable nutrients and injectable b12 vitamins which can be self-administered injections using a small-gauge needle and can be shipped directly from the pharmacy to your home along with proper instructions.

L-Citrulline is used as a sports performance and cardiovascular health supplement. L-citrulline supplementation results in reduced fatigue and improved endurance for both aerobic and anaerobic prolonged exercise.

L-Proline is one of the twenty amino acids used in living organisms as the building blocks of proteins. It is a non-essential amino acid that is synthesized from glutamic acid. It is an essential component of collagen and is important for proper functioning of joints and tendons.

Leucine is an essential amino acid, which cannot be manufactured in the body. Leucine is used as a dietary supplement because it has been found to slow the breakdown of muscle tissue by increasing the synthesis of muscle proteins.

Lysine is an essential amino acid and has antiviral effects by competing with arginine, which promotes HSV replication. This may help prevent outbreaks of cold sores and genital herpes. Some studies suggest that lysine may make bone-building cells more active and may enhance the production of collagen.

Methionine is an amino acid. It acts as a lipotropic agent (to speed up removal of fat within the liver) to prevent problems of the skin and nails. It works as an antioxidant through a conversion process to help neutralize toxins.

NAC (Acetylcysteine) comes from the amino acid L-cysteine. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. N-acetyl cysteine is also used for preventing liver damage; for protecting against environmental pollutants including carbon monoxide, chloroform, urethanes and certain herbicides; for reducing toxicity of ifosfamide and doxorubicin, as a hangover remedy; for preventing kidney damage due to certain X-ray dyes and for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

NADH (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrate) is a coenzyme that is produced by our body and is involved in making energy in the body. NADH can be used to improve mental clarity, alertness & memory. NADH may be beneficial in improving athletic endurance/ fatigue and possibly improve the cognitive function of patients with Alzheimer’s.

Niacinamide (B3) is effective and relatively safe for treating high cholesterol levels. Limited evidence shows that niacin may help with clogged arteries and heart disease.

Ornithine has an anti-fatigue effect by increasing the efficiency of energy consumption and promoting the excretion of ammonia. L-ornithine is a free amino acid and is not richly found in meats or fish. So, it is difficult to obtain amounts of L-ornithine from ordinary meals that would be sufficient to promote the anti-fatigue effect. We recommend L-ornithine intake as a nutritional supplement in cases of physical fatigue.

Pantothenic Acid (B5) also known as Dexpanthenol, is critical to the manufacture of red blood cells, as well as stress-related hormones produced in the adrenal glands. Vitamin B5 is also important in maintaining a healthy digestive tract, helps the body use other vitamins, and synthesizes cholesterol.

Pyridoxine (B6) is a water-soluble vitamin. Vitamin B6 is critical for protein metabolism, energy production, and normal nervous system function. It is involved in nearly 60 enzyme systems in the body, necessary for normal growth, red blood cell synthesis, and vitamin B12 absorption.

Riboflavin (B2) is known for increasing energy levels, boosting immune system function, maintaining healthy hair, skin and nails, slowing aging, boosting athletic performance, and promoting healthy reproductive function.

Taurine is a sulfur-containing amino acid that is a natural part of the human diet. This amino acid is also an antioxidant and plays a key role in many biological processes, such as detoxification, regulation of nerve-cell activity, preservation of eyesight and may improve heart health.

Thiamine (B1) is involved in many body functions, including nervous system and muscle function, the flow of electrolytes in and out of nerve and muscle cells, digestion, and carbohydrate metabolism.

Valine – Foods high in valine include eggs, elk, seaweed, soy and watercress. Valine has shown some effect on brain chemistry, which may affect performance, according to a 2001 study published in the “International Journal of Sports Medicine.” Valine, like the other branched-chain amino acids, can be broken down and converted to glycogen for use as fuel. This occurs primarily when your carbohydrate stores are low, or your diet is deficient in specific proteins and amino acids.
