Amino Acids
Amino acids are the essential building blocks of proteins, nine of which cannot be manufactured by the body, and therefore have to be obtained through food intake and supplements.
Amino acids aid in building new muscle, bone and tendon cells. They play a vital role in metabolism, stamina, and brain function. They also enable vitamins and minerals to be properly absorbed and assimilated.

L-Arginine
DESCRIPTION: L-Arginine is an essential amino acid that aids in liver detoxification and is helpful in liver disorders. It helps to reduce tumors and cancer. It may also assist in elevating the sperm count in males.
The body uses arginine during periods of growth and protein synthesis. It is helpful during trauma or kidney conditions. When L-Arginine is present, there is a reduction in body fat and an increase in muscle mass. It can stimulate growth hormones and detoxifies ammonia from the body.POTENTIAL BENEFITS: May aid in maintaining a healthy heart.
FOOD SOURCES: Most proteins foods such as eggs, dairy products, meat, and nuts.
L-Glutamine
DESCRIPTION: L-Glutamine is found in high concentrations in the human brain where it is converted to glutamic acid. Taken in modest amount, glutamine can substantially increase your production of growth hormone.
POTENTIAL BENEFITS: Assists in brain fog, mental alertness and clarity. Decreases sugar cravings. May aid in mental disorders senility and schizophrenia. Maintains a healthy digestive tract and is important in alcoholism.
FOOD SOURCES: Animal and vegetable proteins.
L-Glycine
DESCRIPTION: Glycine is a non-essential amino acid that is used to make up glutathione. So it is a helper in making other non-essential amino acid. If too much of this amino acid taken, it can result in lethary and fatigue.

FOOD SOURCES: Beans, dairy products, fish, and meat.
L-Isoleucine
DESCRIPTION: L-Isoleucine is an essential amino acid that is part of a branced chain amino acid group with leucine and valine. These three should always be taken together. It is one of several essential amino acids needed in the diet and humans cannot synthesize it from simpler metabolites. It can be degraded into simpler compounds by enzymes. In a rare, inherited disorder called maple syrup urine disease, an enzyme that is not functioning in the common pathway of isoleucine, leucine and valine causes the buildup of certain metabolites in the urine, resulting in the characteristic odor from which the disease gets its name.
POTENTIAL BENEFITS: It is needed to form of hemoglobin and regulates blood sugar levels. Therefore, if there is an imbalance, hypoglycemia could develop. It gets metabolized in the muscles and has to be taken with leucine and valine.
FOOD SOURCES: Almonds, beef, cashews, chicken, cottage cheese, eggs, fish, soy, lentils, liver, milk, and seeds.
L-Leucine

FOOD SOURCES: Fish, meat, beans, and dairy.
L-Tyrosine
POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS: Contraindicated for people with high blood pressure, skin cancer and those who are using MAO inhibitors.
POTENTIAL BENEFITS: Has been used to help withdrawal from drugs.
FOOD SOURCE: Meat and dairy products.
L-Valine
DESCRIPTION: L-Valine is an essential amino acid and is used in combination with leucine and isoleucine. They should be supplemented in combination with each other.
POTENTIAL BENEFITS: L-Valine is a stimulant, so it may help with energy levels and promote tissue repair.
FOOD SOURCES: Soy, flour, cottage cheese, fish, beef, and lamb.
Niacin
DESCRIPTION: Vitamin B3 is available in two basic forms; niacin and niacinamide. It is important in tissue respiration and fat synthesis. It aids in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
POTENTIAL BENEFITS: Helps support your cardiovascular and circulatory systems, and reduces serum cholesterol. Promotes healthy blood fat levels, healthy skin, digestive system and tongue. Has to be present in the production of cortisone, thyroxin, insulin and the male and female sex hormones. We utilize it for a healthy nervous system and brain function.
