    Research overview

    A solution of nine components: six amino acids, taurine, L-carnitine and N-acetyl-L-cysteine. It contains no peptide. The studies presented below concern individual components and were not done with the blend.

    What it is researched for

    Human studies exist for individual components, not for the blend, on topics such as:

    • recovery and muscle soreness after training (L-carnitine tartrate)
    • endurance exercise performance (taurine)
    • repetitions in resistance training (citrulline malate)
    • perceived fatigue after prolonged exercise (L-ornithine)

    Areas of research — not a promise of results.

    How this category is positioned

    Most products in the catalogue are peptides. This is a blend of amino acids and related substances, most of which occur naturally in the body and in food.

    Documentation & COA

    Batch documentation and COA, where available, are linked to the specific product batch and SKU.

    Research context

    What it is

    A solution with nine components, not a peptide.

    Six are amino acids; the other three are taurine, L-carnitine and N-acetyl-L-cysteine.

    865 mg/ml · 10 ml vial.

    The technical detail

    L-arginine 110, L-ornithine 110, L-citrulline 120, L-lysine 70, L-glutamine 40, L-proline 60, taurine 60, L-carnitine 220, N-acetyl-L-cysteine 75 mg/ml.

    L-carnitine tartrate and recovery

    In 80 adults aged 21 to 65: 40 on L-carnitine tartrate and 40 on placebo, for 5 weeks.

    In the carnitine group: better perceived recovery, less muscle soreness and lower blood creatine kinase, a marker of muscle strain.

    Randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial; 73 of the 80 completed it.

    The technical detail

    Stefan et al. 2021, Nutrients (PMID 34684429), p = 0.021 (recovery and soreness), p = 0.016 (creatine kinase). The study was funded by Lonza Consumer Health; two authors are employed there.

    Taurine and endurance

    Pooled analysis of 10 human studies.

    Endurance performance improved overall with taurine.

    Effect size Hedges g = 0.40.

    The technical detail

    Waldron et al. 2018, Sports Med (PMID 29546641), Hedges g = 0.40 (95% CI 0.12–0.67, P = 0.004).

    Citrulline malate and repetitions

    Pooled analysis of 8 double-blind placebo-controlled studies, 137 healthy participants.

    Repetitions to failure were on average 6.4% higher than with placebo.

    Mostly trained men, 101 of 137; small effect size.

    The technical detail

    Vårvik et al. 2021, Int J Sport Nutr Exerc Metab (PMID 34010809), 6.4 ± 7.9%, p = 0.022, SMD 0.196. It concerns citrulline malate, not plain L-citrulline.

    L-ornithine and perceived fatigue

    17 healthy volunteers, two two-hour cycling trials.

    During recovery, perceived fatigue was lower with L-ornithine relative to immediately after the load; in women it was also lower than with placebo.

    Small double-blind placebo-controlled crossover trial.

    The technical detail

    Sugino et al. 2008, Nutr Res (PMID 19083482), P < 0.01 versus post-load; P < 0.05 versus placebo in women. The first author is employed by Soiken Inc.

    Good to know

    NAC is an acetylated form of L-cysteine, an amino acid the cell uses to make glutathione.

    The studies concern individual components, in their own forms, amounts and conditions, not the blend.

    The technical detail

    This section presents published studies and does not describe an effect of the product.

    How to read the composition

    Values are per ml, as declared by the supplier.

    The total concentration is the sum of the declared values.

    The supplier lists taurine as “L-Taurine”; taurine exists in a single form (it has no L/D forms), so it is listed here simply as taurine.

    The technical detail

    110 + 110 + 120 + 70 + 40 + 60 + 60 + 220 + 75 = 865 mg/ml.

    Name and documentation

    The supplier sells the blend under the trade name “Super Human Blend”; in our catalogue it is listed as Amino Acid Blend SHB.

    The trade name is not a claim of any effect or use.

    This page describes only the identity and declared amount of each component.

    The technical detail

    Identity of each component: PubChem entries (see References). Certificate of Analysis per batch, where available.

    Laboratory use

    Used in a controlled laboratory setting as reference material for identity and content confirmation of the components and for solution stability studies. No instructions for use are supplied.

    Research Use Only. For laboratory research exclusively. Not intended for human or veterinary use, nor as a dietary or sports-performance supplement. The trade name is not a claim of any effect. No therapeutic, diagnostic, dietary or dosage claim is made.
