Alanine -
Fosters the production of glucose thereby
giving the body its energy.1 Transports
toxic ammonia out of muscle for excretion in the urine.2
Arginine -
Aids in liver detoxification by neutralizing
ammonia. Accelerates wound healing. Arginine rich diets increase
T-cell function in patients with traumatic injury or surgery.May
enhance the release of growth hormone and prolactin, which
indirectly stimulates the immune system by improving thymic
function in stressed patients.3
Aspartic Acid -
Plays a vital roll in increasing stamina and diminishes
fatigue by removing excessive ammonia. Aids in enhancing liver function,
protects the liver, transports electrolites involved in the energy cycle.
4,5,6
Glutamic Acid -
Concentrates in the brain and when combined with
ammonia is converted to Glutamine.7 Glutamic Acid is a brain fuel.8
Glycine -
Enhances gastric acid secretion.9 Builds HEME, the iron part of Hemoglobin,
which carries oxygen to the cells.10 Essential part of the antioxidant
Glutathione.11 A building block of creatine which is essential in the
creation of A.T.P.,enhancing
energy in the muscles.12
Histidine -
A major component of Hemoglobin. Its deficiency leads to anemia (Tired
Blood) resulting in a lack of 02(oxygen) which causes fatigue.13 Important
for the integrity of the myelin sheath insulation that protect nerve fibers.
Required for sexual arousal, protects against radiation damage. Histidine
removes high levels of lead and copper from the body.14
Isoleucine - (BCAA) - Branch Chain Amino Acid
One of the three BCAAs that enhance energy, increases
endurance and aids in the healing and repair of muscle tissue. Useful in
hemoglobin formation.15
Leucine - (BCAA)
A second BCAA necessary in building body proteins. The BCAAs are essential
in promoting the healing of bone, skin and muscle, and useful in surgical
recovery. Lowers elevated sugar levels and helps in amino acid uptake.16
Valine -
The third BCAA has a stimulating effect in repairing muscle tissue. Helps
maintain proper nitrogen balance in the body.17 Provento be useful in emotional
stress, insomnia and nervousness as well as musclecoordination.18
Threonine -
Important for the formation of collagen and elastin. Necessary for gastrointestinal
function. Helps prevent fatty build-up in the liver. Aids in the production
of antibodies.19
.
Tryptophan -
Produces Serotonin, responsible for inducing sleep. Tryptophan helps in
depression, insomnia an din stabilizing mood swings.20
Lysine -
Helps to make Carnitine and important in fat metabolism. Helps in the formation
of antibodies. 21
Methionine -
An important antioxidant and free radical scavenger. An essential sulphur
containing amino acid,known for its ability to donate part of its formula
to form new compounds such as DNA and RNA, as well as Cystine and Cysteine.
It's a powerful detoxifying agent in removing heavy metals such as lead.
Vital in production of the blood proteins albumin and globulin.22
Cystine -
Cystine a sulphur-rich amino acid that the body can convert to Cysteine.
In the body they are considered the same. Cystine is found in proteins
such as; hair keratin, insulin,digestive enzymes and also lactoglobulin.23
Phenylalanine -
Responsible for a number of neurotransmitters. Suppresses
appetite, promotes alertness, mood elevation, sexual interest, decreases
pain, helps in depression.24
Tyrosine -
Is converted to serve as a precursor to epinephrine
and norepinephrine, prepares the body to fight or respond to stress. Responsible
for formation of thyroxine (Iodine with Tyrosine)necessary for regulation
of basal metabolic rate.25
Proline -
A major component in collagen, the connective tissue
that binds and supports all other tissues. Assists in the healing of cartilage,
strengthening of joints, tendons and ligaments.26
Serine -
Reacts with homocysteine (which comes from Methionine)
to form Cystine, a heavy metal chelator. Assists in building RNA and DNA.27 |
