weight changes, nitrogen balance and tissue healing. Indispensable for optimum growth, important for muscle metabolism, acts as a vehicle for transport, storage and excretion of nitrogen. Increases muscle mass while decreasing the amount of body fat. Combats mental and physical fatigue. Used in treatment of liver (hepatic) disorders. Promotes detoxification of Ammonia, which is poisonous to all living cells.
L-Asparagine - Helps recovery from fatigue stimulates the immune system therefore beneficial in the presence of any illness, disease, traumatic injury or wound. Detoxifies ammonia, which is poisonous to living cells. Metabolises to L-Arginine.
Aspartic Acid - Aids in the expulsion of harmful ammonia from the body, in so doing by disposing of ammonia helps to protect the nervous system. Helps in increased resistance to fatigue, Salts of aspartic acid increases stamina and endurance (important for athlestes). Aspartic Acid is involved in the formation of RNA and DNA the chemical bases of heredity and carriers of genetic information. Protects the liver and promotes normal cell function. This Amino acid builds up the immune system, producing immunoglobulins and antibodies.
L-Cysteine - Found to increase hair growth by as much as 100%. Effective in preventing not only hangovers but also brain and liver damage from alcohol. Helps prevent damages from the ill effects of cigarette smoke. Detoxifies many harmful chemicals. Helpful in the treament of rheumatoid arthritis. Promotes healing and boosts the immune system.
L-Glutamic Acid - Serves as a brain fuel serving as an excitatory transmitter, important for brain metabolism, improves the intelligence (even IQ of mentally deficient children). L-Glutamin transports potassium across the blood brain barrier. Combines to formL-glutamine and in the process picks up ammonia radicals, this is the only method the brain has of detoxifying ammonia. It is instrumental in the metabolism of other amino acids. This Amino acid metabolizes sugars and fats and increases the blood sugar level - used in the treatment of hypoglycemia. Helps in the control of alcoholism, shortens the healing time for ulcers, alleviates fatigue, and alleviates depression and impotence. Successfully used in the treatment of schizophrenia and senility.
L-Glutamine - Sustains mental ability and is involved with brain metabolism. Along with L-Glutamic Acid is used as a brain fuel. It is used in the treatment of alcoholism, can protect against alcohol poisoning. L-Glutamine has been successfully used in the treament of schizophrenia and senility.
L-Glycine - Used in the treament of Hypoglycemia - Glycine stimulates the release of glucagon, which mobilizes glycogen, which is then released into the blood as glucose from the liver. This Amina acid builds the immune system, producing immunoglobulins and antibodies. It also acts as a nitrogen pool for the syntheses of non-essential Amino acids. Used as a treament for gastric hyper-acidity (included in many gastric antacid drugs). Used to treat certain types of Acidosis (low pH of the blood) caused by a Leucine imbalance which results in an offensive body and breath odour. Of special value as a source of creatine, which is essential for muscle function, breaking down glycogen and freeing energy.

L-Histidine - Is used in the treatment of allergic diseases. It is also used in treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis, effecitve in the treatment of ulcers of the digestive organs. Important in the production of red and white blood cells - used in the treatment of anemia.
L-Proline - is extremely important for the proper function of joints and tendons, as well as good heart muscles. Proline improves skin texture by aiding in the production of collagen and reducing the loss of collagen through the aging process. It also helps in the healing of cartilage and the strengthening of joints, tendons and heart muscle. It works with Vitamin C to promote healthy connective tissue. Proline is obtained primarily from meat sources.
L-Serine - Glycogenic (energy storage source of glucose of the liver and muscles). Serine builds up the immune system, producing immunoglobulins and antibodies.
L-Tyrosine - Plays an important role in the function of the adrenal, pituitary and thryoid glands. Tyrosine generates red and white blood cells. It is a high-ranking neurotransmitter, stimulates and modifies brain activity. Tyrosine elevates mood. It is used in treatment of anxiety, depression and insomnia. Tyrosine produces melanin, the skin and hair pigment. It produces Norepinephrine, an appetite inhibitory neurotransmitter that suppresses the appetite. It stimulates the release of growth hormone, which causes muscle growth and reduces body fat. Tyrosine has been used to control medication-resistant depression and anxiety and has also helped cocaine addicts conquer their habit by helping to avert depression, fatigue and extreme irritability that accompany withdrawal.
L-Cystine - Cystine is essential for the formation of skin and hair and improves hair growth by 100%. It helps to detoxify the ststem of many harmful chemicals, helps to protect the body from harmful metals as well as destructive free radicals that are from smoking and drinking. It is helpful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Cystine stimulates white blood cell activity in the immune system necessary for the resistance to disease. Cystine offers a degree of protection against X-ray and nuclear radiation. Cystine has proved effective in preventing hangovers and liver and brain damage from the alcohol. Promotes healing and boosts Immune system. Cystine promotes recovery from surgical operations and burns. Used in the treatment of respiratory disorders such as chronic bronchitis.
Hydroxyproline - An Amino acid is a major component of collagen, the protein that strengthens ligaments and tendons and provides skin elasticity. The human body makes Proline, which it converts to Hydroxyproline, but it requires vitamin C to complete the process. A lack of vitamin C in the diet can cause Hydroxyproline deficiency, producing the skin lesions typical of the disease scurvy. Hydroxyproline can be synthesized in the body, making it a non-essential amino acid and is used nearly exclusively in structural proteins including collagen and connective tissues - it promotes healing.
Ornithine - Helps build up the immune system, promotes liver functions and regeneration. Important in the formation of urea, detoxifying ammonia, this is poisonous to living cells! Ornithine helps to prompt the release of growth hormone, which promotes the metabolism of excess body fat. This effect is enhanced if ornithine is combined with metabolism of excess body fat. This effect is enhanced if ornithine is combined with arginine and Carnitine. This amino acid
