Kyowa Hakko USA Inc., New York, announced that Phoenix-based G3 Labs Inc.’s minoTor ready-to-drink sports supplement will contain its Sustamine L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine ingredient, which contains a blend of vitamins and other amino acids. MinoTor is a non-carbonated, convenient, premium sports drink designed for active consumers, the company says. Sustamine is a dipeptide of glutamine that infuses minoTOR with several substantial benefits such as enhanced recovery, immune system support, and increased metabolic rate, Kyowa Hakko USA says. On top of these benefits, research suggests that Sustamine is absorbed 240 percent more than standard L-glutamine, it adds. MinoTor is free of artificial colors, flavors and preservatives and contains 50 calories in each serving.
