ALANINE
(Non-Essential Amino Acid)
Is an
important source of energy for muscle tissue, the
brain and central nervous system; strengthens the
immune system by producing antibodies; helps in
the metabolism of sugars and organic acids. See
References
ARGININE (Non-Essential Amino Acid)
Studies have shown that is has improved
immune responses to bacteria, viruses & tumor cells;
promotes wound healing and regeneration of the liver;
causes the release of growth hormones; considered crucial
for optimal muscle growth and tissue repair. See
References
ASPARTIC
ACID (Non-Essential Amino Acid)
Aids in the
expulsion of harmful ammonia from the body. When
ammonia enters the circulatory system it acts as a
highly toxic substance which can be harmful to the
central nervous system. Recent studies have shown
that Aspartic Acid may increase resistance to
fatigue and increase endurance. See
References
CYSTINE
(Non-Essential Amino Acid)
Functions as
an antioxidant and is a powerful aid to the body
in protecting against radiation and pollution. It
can help slow down the aging process, deactivate
free radicals, neutralize toxins; aids in protein
synthesis and presents cellular change. It is
necessary for the formation of the skin, which
aids in the recovery from burns and surgical
operations. Hair and skin are made up 10-14%
Cystine. See

GLUTAMIC
ACID (Non-Essential Amino Acid)
Considered
to be nature's "Brain food" by improving
mental capacities; helps speed the healing of
ulcers; gives a "lift" from fatigue;
helps control alcoholism, schizophrenia and the
craving for sugar. See
References
GLYCINE
(Non-Essential Amino Acid)
Helps
trigger the release of oxygen to the energy
requiring cell-making process; Important in the
manufacturing of hormones responsible for a strong
immune system. See
References
HISTIDINE
(Non-Essential Amino Acid)
Is found
abundantly in hemoglobin; has been used in the
treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, allergic
diseases, ulcers & anemia. A deficiency can
cause poor hearing. See
References
LEUCINE & ISOLEUCINE (Essential Amino
Acid)
They provide ingredients for the
manufacturing of other essential biochemical components in
the body, some of which are utilized for the production of
energy, stimulants to the upper brain and helping you to
be more alert. See
References
LYSINE (Essential Amino
Acid)
Insures the adequate absorption of
calcium; helps form collagen ( which makes up bone
cartilage & connective tissues); aids in the
production of antibodies, hormones & enzymes. Recent
studies have shown that Lysine may be effective against
herpes by improving the balance of nutrients that reduce
viral growth. A deficiency may result in tiredness,
inability to concentrate, irritability, bloodshot eyes,
retarded growth, hair loss ,anemia & reproductive
problems. See
References
METHIONINE
(Essential Amino Acid)
Is a principle supplier of sulfur which
prevents disorders of the hair, skin and nails; helps
lower cholesterol levels by increasing the liver's
production of lecithin; reduces liver fat and protects the
kidneys; a natural chelating agent for heavy metals;
regulates the formation of ammonia and creates
ammonia-free urine which reduces bladder irritation;
influences hair follicles and promotes hair growth. See
References
PHENYLALAINE
(Essential Amino Acid)
Used by the brain to produce Norepinephrine, a chemical that transmits signals between
nerve cells and the brain; keeps you awake & alert;
reduces hunger pains; functions as an antidepressant and
helps improve memory. See
References
PROLINE
(Non-Essential Amino Acid)
Is extremely
important for the proper functioning of joints and
tendons; also helps maintain and strengthen heart
muscles. See
References
SERINE
(Non-Essential Amino Acid)
A storage
source of glucose by the liver and muscles; helps
strengthen the immune system by providing
antibodies; synthesizes fatty acid sheath around
nerve fibers. See
References
TAURINE
(Non-Essential Amino Acid)
Helps
stabilize the excitability of membranes which is
very important in the control of epileptic
seizures. Taurine and sulfur are considered to be
factors necessary for the control of many
biochemical changes that take place in the aging
process; aids in the clearing of free radical
wastes. See
References
THREONINE (Essential
Amino Acid)
Is an important constituent of collagen, Elastin, and enamel protein; helps prevents fat build-up
in the liver; helps the digestive and intestinal tracts
function more smoothly; assists metabolism and
assimilation. See
References
TYROSINE
(Non-Essential Amino Acid)
Transmits
nerve impulses to the brain; helps overcome
depression; Improves memory; increases mental
alertness; promotes the healthy functioning of the
thyroid, adrenal and pituitary glands. See
References
TRYPTOPHAN (Essential Amino Acid)
A natural relaxant, helps alleviate
insomnia by inducing normal sleep; reduces anxiety &
depression; helps in the treatment of migraine headaches;
helps the immune system; helps reduce the risk of artery
& heart spasms; works with Lysine in reducing
cholesterol levels. See
References
VALINE (Essential Amino
Acid)
Promotes mental vigor, muscle coordination
and calm emotions. See
