How SUPER Human Blend Works in Research Models
Arginine, ornithine, and citrulline are studied together in the urea cycle and nitric oxide pathway, linked to vasodilation research. Lysine, glutamine, and proline are studied for roles in protein synthesis and collagen structure. Taurine is studied for osmoregulation and antioxidant activity, carnitine for fatty-acid transport into mitochondria, and NAC as a glutathione precursor with antioxidant properties. This specific nine-ingredient ratio has not itself been studied as a combined formulation.
Risk & Handling

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What’s in this bottle?
Nine amino acids and NAC mixed into one 10ml vial, adding up to 865mg total. Each one is listed separately on the label with its own amount, so nothing is hidden inside a “proprietary blend.”
Q2: Has anyone tested this exact mix before?
Each ingredient has plenty of research behind it on its own, but no study has tested this exact combination and these exact amounts together. Any purity check for this product should come from its own Certificate of Analysis.
Q3: What are these ingredients normally used for in research?
Different ones cover different things; some are studied for blood flow, some for muscle and tissue building blocks, and others for antioxidant or energy-related research. This is just what’s out there in science, not a promise of what this product does.
Q4: Can I just buy this and use it myself?
No. It’s only sold to researchers at licensed institutions, and any study on people or animals needs proper approval first (IRB or IACUC). It’s not meant for personal use.
Q5: How do I keep this stored properly?
Somewhere cool and dry, out of direct light and away from moisture. Wear gloves and eye protection when handling it, and try not to breathe in the powder while measuring it out.
