Amino acids
are the building blocks for all life. Our bodies use amino acids to form
the proteins which build everything from basic DNA & RNA to all cells and
body tissue.
There
are 20 natural amino acids, both essential and non-essential. The essential
amino acids are those which your body cannot produce. Your body only gets
these through your diet. The non-essential amino acids are just as
important, but your body can manufacture them in the liver.
All protein is made up of amino acids. Proteins regulate
nearly every biochemical reaction in the body.
Amino acids account for 75% of dry body weight (total weight
minus water weight).
Most people get all the amino acids they need from the
protein in their food. Protein deficiency is very rare.
You need all twenty-two amino acids to make the 50,000-plus
proteins you need for life.
Amino acids make the many enzymes, hormones,
neurotransmitters, and other chemical messengers that regulate your body.
Some individual amino acids can help health problems,
including heart disease, insomnia, and herpes.
Neurotransmitters, such as norepinephrine, serotonin,
GABA, acetylcholine, aspartate, glutamate, are made of amino acids.
Hormones are made from amino acids. Sex hormones are
made up of amino acids plus fat or lipids.
Peptides and neuropeptides, the substances the brain releases with
every thought, are amino acids.
95% of muscle tissue is built from amino acids.
Prevents Heart Disease
Dr.
Louis Ignarro, one of the Nobel Award winning scientists that discovered the
basis of Viagra was working on heart disease at the time. They found that two amino
acids, Arginine and Citrulline (see below) combined with higher levels of
vitamin C had an enormous benefit on the heart and circulatory system.
Good
Sources of Amino Acids and Proteins on the internet
Nutritional supplements
have a limited shelf life and they are very sensitive to storage conditions.
Retails stores often keep their products in conditions that are less than
ideal (warm shop shelves, storage rooms with no humidity or temperature
control) , so they deteriorate rapidly. This is about the best reason
to buy online, especially from a larger company.
Just about the largest
and certainly the cheapest source on the internet is
eVitamins. One good thing about a large company like this is that
they have a rapid turnover of product, so they are fresh. Compared to
retail outlets you can
Save 20%-70% On Amino Acid
Products.
