Essential Amino Acids:

• L-Isoleucine: Regulates and stabilizes blood sugar and energy levels in the body. A deficiency in Isoleucine can lead to symptoms similar to hypoglycemia or low blood sugar.
• L-Leucine: Protects muscles and is a fuel for the body when working with the amino acids Valine and Isoleucine. Also, Leucine is the most effective amino acid at causing insulin secretion from the pancreas.
• L-Valine: Known as a wonderful source of energy for all bodily functions. Also, maintains the metabolism of muscles, proper nitrogen balance and repairs tissues.
• L-Lysine: Lysine is very important in the formulation of proteins needed in muscles and bones. It also has been shown to be effective in reducing the effects of flus, colds and herpes virus.
• L-Methionine and Cystine The body’s primary source of sulfur is Methionine. Sulfur assists in the growth of hair, skin and nails as well as increases the production of lecithin in the liver. Lecithin helps to reduce cholesterol and liver fat.
• L-Tryptophan: Tryptophan is used by the body to assist in making Vitamin B3 – Niacin, Serotonin and Melatonin. Niacin is needed for normal gastrointestinal and nerve processes. Serotonin acts as a calming agent in the brain. Melatonin is crucial in regulating sleep.
• L-Phenylalanine and L-Tyrosine: Functions on the memory system and learning processes. Used to treat rheumatoid arthritis.
• L-Threonine: Helps to maintain body’s proteins in balance. Studies show that threonine treatment is effective easing symptoms attributed to Multiple Sclerosis.
• Histidine: An essential amino acid for children,promoting growth and development. Required for the generation of red and white blood cells.
