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.
(DL-Phenylalanine) DLPA is a mixture of the natural form of phenylalanine (the L
form) and its mirror image (the D form). DLPA may have the unique ability to
block the enzyme (enkephalinase) in the central nervous system that is
responsible for breaking down natural, morphine-like hormones called endorphins
and enkephalins.
