Amino Acids

 Amino acids are the building blocks of protein molecules. The body makes proteins from twenty amino acids, eight of which are termed essential because they  cannot be synthesized by the body and therefore must be obtained through diet or supplements. .

Below is a list of amino acids and their functions.


L-Alanine - Used as an energy source for brain and muscle tissues. Important nitrogen quality for post injury states.

L-Arginine - Stimulates release of growth hormone, which promotes muscle growth and acts as an aid in weight control. Increases collagen, the primary fibrous protein found in bone, cartilage and connective tissue. Important to muscle metabolism by acting as a vehicle for the transport, storage and excretion of nitrogen. Helps combat physical and mental fatigue. Plays an important role in relieving post­ injury problems.

L-Aspartic Acid -Increases resistance to fatigue. Promotes normal cell growth and protects the liver.

L-Citrulline - Helps recovery from fatigue. Stimulates the immune system and detoxifies poisonous substances.

L-Cysteine - Promotes healing. Protects the brain and liver from the effects of alcohol.

L-Cystine -Essential to the formation of skin and hair. Used in the treatment of respiratory disorders such as chronic bronchitis.

L-Glutamic Acid - Metabolizes fats and sugars. Instrumental in the metabolism of other amino acids.

L-Glutamine - Believed to improve mental concentration. Protects against alcohol poisoning.

L-Glycine - A special value as a source of creatine, which is essential for muscle function, glycogen breakdown and freeing energy. Involved in the synthesis of non-essential amino acids.

L-Histidine - Essential to the production of red and white blood cells. Used in the treatment of allergic diseases.

L-Isoleucine - Essential to the production of hemoglobin.

L-Leucine - Promotes healing of skin and broken bones. Helps regulate blood sugar levels.

L-Lysine - Inhibits growth of viruses. Aids in the absorption of calcium. Improves stress tolerance and fat metabolism.

L-Methionine - Works to prevent excessive fat build up in the liver.

L-Ornithine - Stimulates release of growth hormone, which promotes muscle growth. Promotes healing

L-Proline - Essential to the proper functioning of the heart. Increases collagen, the primary fibrous protein found in bone, cartilage and connective tissue.

L-Phenylalanine - Suppresses appetite. Believed to positively affect learning, memory and alertness.

L-Serine - Strengthens the immune system by producing immunoglobulins and antibodies.

L-Taurine - Found in high concentrations in the tissues of the heart, skeletal muscle and central nervous system.

L-Threonine - Prevents fatty accumulation in the liver. Essential to normal growth. Generally low in Vegetarian diets.

L-Tyrosine - Used in the formation of norepinephrine, a hormone that can suppress appetite. Plays an important role in the functioning of the adrenal, pituitary and thyroid glands. Stimulates the release of growth hormone, which promotes muscle growth.

L-Valine - Used in the treatment of severe amino acid deficiencies.
