As we age, many experience a decline in muscle, and even atrophy.   Another factor many women (and men too!) face is increasing cholesterol.

Life amino acids help with metabolic functions such as normalizing blood pressure and cholesterol.  Life is designed to help prevent the natural decline of muscle and heart function that begins at around age 40. In clinical trials, Life has been proven to enhance physical function and muscle strength, improve blood lipid profiles and support cardiovascular health.
