Frequently Asked Questions

What is AminoActiv?

AminoActiv is made up of 3 natural amino acids which individually do not express anti-inflammatory properties, but when blended and conjugated have properties that support and promote natural anti-inflammation without side-effects.

What is AminoActiv best used for?

AminoActiv can be safely used for a variety of efforts to promote good health and the ability to maintain an active lifestyle. Please see our testimonials page for some of the results people are seeing with their varied uses of AminoActiv.

Was the goal of AminoActiv to eliminate some of the side-effects of common anti-inflammatory drugs?

No one would choose to suffer the side-effects of associated with some of the over-the-counter drugs. These side-effects can include stomach, liver or kidney damage. Developing a product that was safe and non-toxic wasn’t the initial goal (the initial goal was simply a new amino acid supplement with increased absorption), but in university studies (at major Division I University Medical Centers), we saw terrific clinical results and, in toxicology studies, that it was safe and non-toxic even under large dosing regimens. Animal necropsy studies and human volunteer and animal blood chemistry analyses resulted in no abnormal indications from extended or even super-therapeutic usage.

What are the dosing recommendations?

Capsules:
• To support pain-free health as a dietary supplement – take 2 capsules daily
• To promote healthy recovery from acute, everyday aches and pains – take 2 capsules up to 3-times daily
• For strenuous exercise – take 2 capsules one-hour before exercise to reduce lactic acid build up; take 2 capsules after exercise to reduce inflammation

Cream:
• Apply topical cream directly to affected areas of the body as needed and thoroughly rub-in (cleanse and dry area before each application).  

How does AminoActiv work?

AminoActiv simply supports the body’s natural and healthy ability to control the release of prostaglandins in order to minimize routine aches and pains due to inflammation. It also helps to promote the naturally optimized processing and elimination of lactic acids so as to relieve exercise-induced discomfort.

What side-effects are there with NSAIDS and COX-2 inhibitors?

Most commonly, these compounds like ibuprofen, acetaminophen and aspirin can have negative effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding (stomach ulcerations), hepatic toxicity (liver damage) and renal toxicity (kidney damage) when taken in excess or sometimes chronically. There are no toxic side effects with AminoActiv when taken as directed.

If athletes use AminoActiv, are there any drug-testing related concerns?

No. AminoActiv is not only safe, but it’s completely legal and compliant with all NCAA and IOC or professional sports organizations. We have had it tested for the NCAA and IOC list of banned substances and it registers as clean on all doping control tests.

When will users begin to see results upon taking AminoActiv?

In terms of AminoActiv promoting healthy recovery from common aches and pains, you may sense results in as little as 5 minutes with the cream and within 20-30 minutes with the capsules.
