Amino Acid Complex comprised of 18 free-form amino acids, vitamin B6 and certain digestive enzymes: supports healthy appetite, brain function and healthy mood, helps in antibodies formation, assists in cells and tissues building, builds the nucleoproteins RNA and DNA
Overview
Amino Acids form the chief structure of proteins; many of these are essential for human growth, development and nutrition. Simply put, they are the building blocks of the body. They contain nitrogen, which is not contained in fatty acids and sugars. Protein is vital to every living organism, from the smallest to the largest; all of these organisms are comprised of protein. In addition, protein is necessary to many chemical processes that sustain life. There are 1600 basic proteins, which make up the human body, they are made from only 22 amino acids! As a result of digestion, protein is broken down to these 22 amino acids; eight of these are considered essential, which means that they cannot be manufactured by the body, the remainder are non-essential, which means that they can be manufactured by the body. When just one amino acid is deficient, serious health problems can occur eventually. An amino acid deficiency may be caused by many factors, particularly a low-protein diet. Other factors include: stress, trauma, infection, age, medications and chemical imbalances within the body. It is important for the aminos to be kept in balance, and it is advised to take individual aminos along with an amino acid complex to ensure that the aminos stay at adequate, balanced levels in the body.
Amino acids are essential to many body functions, including:
Building cells and repairing tissues
Part of the enzyme and hormonal system
Carrying oxygen throughout the body
Some aminos convert to glucose to stabilize blood sugar
Maintains and repairs muscles, tendons, skin, ligaments, organs (esp. the heart and brain), glands, nails and hair
Critical to a good acid-alkaline balance
Form antibodies to combat invading bacteria and viruses
Build the nucleoproteins RNA and DNA
Part of all muscular activity
Aid in the production of neurotransmitters
Builds connective tissue (collagen)
Energy sources that are vital to brain function
Aminoessentials is a comprehensive amino acid complex that is comprised of 18 free-form amino acids, vitamin B6 and certain digestive enzymes. Free-form amino acids are highly bio-available as long as there is an adequate supply of B6. This formula also contains the digestive enzymes bromelain, papain and pancreatin that further ensure optimal bioavailability.
Our AminoEssentials is available in 50 and 100 capsules.
