- Enhanced energy metabolism & athletic recovery via Krebs-cycle intermediate replenishment
- Dual bone & muscle support – provides highly bioavailable calcium + collagen synthesis promotion through proline/hydroxyproline pathways
- Reduced ammonia accumulation during exercise → better endurance and faster recovery
- Antioxidant & anti-inflammatory effects – modulates Nrf2 and NF-κB pathways
