INFORMATION ON * ESSENTIAL AMINO ACID BLEND

Amino acids are the at the core of many vital biological processes. The 9 essential amino acids are those that cannot be synthesised by the human body and can only be obtained through your diet.

L-Phenylalanine (15%): Phenylalanine plays an integral role in the structure and function of proteins and enzymes and the production of other amino acids. Is a precursor for the neurotransmitters tyrosine, dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine. It also stimulates the release of adrenaline and noradrenaline, neurotransmitters essential for optimal activity of your brain and peripheral nervous system.
L-Valine (11%): Valine is one of three branched-chain amino acids. It helps stimulate muscle growth and tissue repair and is involved in energy production necessary for muscle fiber firing. Valine is also required for proper nitrogen balance in the body.
L-Threonine (8%): Threonine is a principal part of structural proteins such as collagen and elastin, which are important components of the skin and connective tissue. Threonine is further important for antibody production & immune function and fat metabolism.
L-Tryptophan (2%): Tryptophan encourage the release of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and melatonin, important for mood, appetite and sleep regulation. It is also required for proper nitrogen balance.
L-Methionine (14%): Methionine supplies sulphur and other compounds that play an important role in metabolism and detoxification. It’s also necessary for tissue growth and the absorption of zinc and selenium, minerals that are vital to your health.
L-Leucine (15%): Like valine, leucine is a branched-chain amino acid. It stimulates and is critical for muscle protein synthesis, muscle repair and anabolic processes. It also helps regulate blood sugar levels, stimulates wound healing and produces growth hormones.
L-Isoleucine (11%): Isoleucine is the 3rd of the three branched-chain amino acids. It is involved in muscle metabolism and is heavily concentrated in muscle tissue. It’s also important for immune function, hemoglobin production and energy regulation.
L-Lysine HCL (13%): Lysine plays major roles in protein synthesis, hormone and enzyme production and the absorption of calcium. It’s also important for energy production, immune function and the production of collagen and elastin. A deficiency in lysine can result in a deficiency in niacin and slow muscle repair.
L-Histidine HCL (11%): Histidine is used to produce histamine, a neurotransmitter that is vital to immune response, digestion, sexual function and sleep-wake cycles. It’s critical for maintaining the myelin sheath, a protective barrier that surrounds your nerve cells.
