Amino Acids
by •
Amino acids and proteins are the building blocks of life as well as a source of energy by the body. When proteins are digested or broken down, amino acids are left. The human body uses amino acids to make proteins to help the body: Break down food Grow Repair body tissue Amino acids are classified…
Tryptophan
by •
Tryptophan is needed for normal growth in infants and for nitrogen balance in adults. The body uses tryptophan to help make niacin and serotonin. Serotonin is thought to produce healthy sleep and a stable mood. In order for tryptophan in the diet to be changed into niacin, the body needs to have enough: Iron, Riboflavin and…
Valine
by •
A branched-chain essential amino acid that has stimulant activity. It promotes muscle growth and tissue repair. It is a precursor in the penicillin biosynthetic pathway.Leucine, isoleucine and valine, make up about one-third of muscle protein. http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/summary/summary.cgi?cid=6287
Isoleucine
by •
An isomer of LEUCINE; it is important in hemoglobin synthesis and regulation of blood sugar and energy levels. http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/summary/summary.cgi?cid=6306
Leucine
by •
An essential branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) important for hemoglobin formation; unique among amino acids for its regulatory roles in metabolism, including translational control of protein synthesis and glycemic regulation Together, insulin and leucine allow skeletal muscle to coordinate protein synthesis with physiological state and dietary intake. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10418071
Histidine
by •
Histidine is required for the production of HISTAMINE. http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/summary/summary.cgi?cid=6274
Methionine
by •
S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine (SAMe) is produced in the body from Methionine SAMe might be helpful for depression, osteoarthritis, and a liver condition that can occur during pregnancy. Methionine is an important cartilage-forming substance and plays an important role in the synthesis of other proteins, such as carnitine or melatonine. It also has a fat-dissolving effect and reduces the…
Lysine
by •
Lysine plays an essential role in the production of carnitine, a nutrient responsible for converting fatty acids into energy and helping to lower cholesterol. Lysine appears to help the body absorb calcium, and it plays an important role in the formation of collagen, a substance important for bones and connective tissues including skin, tendon, and cartilage.…
Phenylalanine
by •
Phenylalanine is a precursor of MELANIN; DOPAMINE; noradrenalin (NOREPINEPHRINE), and THYROXINE. The body changes phenylalanine into tyrosine, another amino acid that’s needed to make proteins, brain chemicals, including L-dopa, epinephrine, and norepinephrine, and thyroid hormones. Because norepinephrine affects mood, different forms of phenylalanine have been proposed to treat depression. Symptoms of phenylalanine deficiency include confusion, lack…
Threonine
by •
Threonine is found in eggs, milk, gelatin, and other proteins; in the body it is changed to a chemical called glycine, which works in the brain to reduce constant and unwanted muscle contractions. It is used to treat various nervous system disorders including spinal spasticity, multiple sclerosis, familial spastic paraparesis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, Lou…
