The paper concerns the determination of the Angular Momentum Relative Amended Potential (AMR potential) in the framework of the Full n-Body problem and some of its basic properties are discussed. The AMR potential is derived using two different approaches : first using a Routh reduction of the system relative to rotation about the total angular momentum, second as a variation of the Sundman Inequality, using the Cauchy inequality.
