Nutri-West Amino
All Natural
Hydrolyzed
protein amino acids supplying 1000mg of natural protein per tablet.
Features
-
Amino
acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are required for building
and repairing muscle and other body tissues.
-
All
proteins are in the Laevorotatory (L) form. This is the form that the human
body can utilise.
-
This
product uses bovine tissue sources of amino acids providing a minimum
protein content of 92.97%.
-
The
protein contains a minimum nitrogen content of 16%.
Amino Acids
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. In fact, the daily protein
requirement is really the body's need for amino acids. Dietary amino acids are
classified as essential and non-essential. Both are used to assemble hormones,
enzymes, neurotransmitters (chemical messengers), antibodies, and nutrient
carriers.
Essential amino acids - such as histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine,
methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine - cannot be
manufactured by the body, so they must be obtained through diet and
supplementation.
Non-essential amino acids are equally necessary to help maintain good health,
but can be synthesized in the body from essential amino acids. Though classified
as "non-essential", the consumption of amino acids such as arginine,
ornithine, cysteine, methionine, taurine and tyrosine is beneficial for
individuals with certain nutritional concerns.
BCCA (Branched Chain Amino Acids: leucine, isoleucine and valine), serve as
building blocks for tissue proteins, play an important role in energy metabolism
and are precursors of other amino acids.
L-Carnitine is actually a dipeptide, an amino acid made up of two other
essential amino acids: methionine and lysine. L-Carnitine is important for fat
metabolism in cells, including heart and muscle cells. It is necessary for
transporting long-chain fatty acids into cell mitochondria where the acids are
oxidized and burned for energy.
L-Glutamine is a major fuel source for intestinal, immune and brain cells.
Glutamine comprises 60% of the body's total amino acid muscle pool and is the
highest concentrated amino acid in the blood stream. It is responsible for
helping to transport nitrogen to tissues and remove nitrogen from the body. It
is also important in regulating amino acid balance.
L-Glutathione is a natural sulphur-containing peptide formed by linking three
amino acids:glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine. It acts in antioxidant and
detoxification systems and is also involved in helping amino acid transport
across cell membranes.
L-Methionine is a sulfur-containing amino acid with antioxidant properties.
Methionine is the precursor to cysteine. Methionine is essential to help support
growth and development. It is required for protein synthesis and in liver
detoxification pathways.
L-Phenylalanine helps produce neurotransmitters, the brain's chemical
messengers. It is a precursor to tyrosine which is used to manufacture certain
hormones, including adrenalin (epinephrine), noradrenalin (norapinephrine),
L-dopa, and dopamine. It is also a precursor to tyrosine.

Nutri-West
manufacturing is run and governed under the rules of the Federal Good
Manufacturing Practice Act (GMP) and as such is inspected regularly by the
American Food and Drug Administration.
Nutri-West
manufacturing received the FDA Blue Ribbon Award for Excellence.
All raw
materials used in the manufacturing of Nutri-West products are supported by a
certificate of analysis by the raw material manufacturer, which guarantees
potency (i.e. a pharmaceutical grade for vitamins and minerals and certified
grade for herbs). Certification of the herbs guarantees that the
pharmacologically active parts of the plants are used in Nutri-West products. At
regular random intervals, these samples are sent to independent laboratories for
analysis.
All
herbs and food concentrates used in Nutri-West products are certified
organically grown whenever available. All glandular sources are from certified
bovine sources. All nutrients are tested for heavy metal toxicity and
contamination by independent certified laboratories. No artificial
preservatives, colourings, additives, flavourings or stabilisers are used in
manufacturing. Nutri-West products are as hypoallergenic as possible.
Common allergy-reactive substances such as wheat, yeast and corn are avoided.
