| Amino Acids |
|---|
| DL-PHENYLALANINE |
 |
This is a 50/50 ratio of both the D and the L forms of phenylalanine. Phenylketonurics should avoid DL-Phenylalanine. |
|
| GLYCINE |
|
A non-essential amino acid that the human body uses to make DNA and collagen.** |
|
| HISTIDINE |
|
A non-essential amino acid for adults but an essential amino acid for children. It is involved in the circulatory system.** |
|
| L-ARGININE |
|
An all-purpose amino acid necessary for growth. This is an essential amino acid for children but, non-essential for adults. ** |
|
| L-ASPARTIC ACID |
|
A non-essential amino acid that contributes towards stamina and helps support the cardiovascular system.** |
|
| L-CARNITINE |
|
A non-essential amino acid compound of the essential amino acids methionine and lysine. It transports fatty acids into the mitochondria and is used for fat metabolism.** |
|
| L-CYSTEINE |
|
An essential amino acid only slightly different from cystine. They convert back and forth in the human body as needed and are connected to keratin, a hair building protein.** |
|
| L-GLUTAMINE |
|
A non-essential amino acid (Glutamic Acid) that is found in abundance in muscles.** |
|
| L-ISOLEUCINE |
|
An essential branch chain amino acid that is involved in growth and the production of energy.** |
|
| L-LEUCINE |
|
An essential branch chain amino acid that is involved in muscle growth.** |
|
| L-LYSINE |
|
An essential amino acid important for growth, tissue and collagen formation.** |
|
| L-METHIONINE |
|
A sulfur containing essential amino acid necessary for the formation of collagen and carnitine. It helps in the breakdown of fat.** |
|
| L-ORNITHINE |
|
A non-essential amino acid closely linked to arginine that is important in growth.** |
|
| L-PHENYLALANINE |
|
An essential amino acid that is a precursor to L-Tyrosine. It is involved in many important functions of the human body.** Phenylketonurics should avoid L-Phenylalanine. |
|
| L-THREONINE |
|
An essential amino acid that is an important constituent of collagen and elastin. It is involved in cellular membrane lipids.** |
|
| L-TYROSINE |
|
A non-essential amino acid used by the thyroid gland. Tyrosine is involved in energy production.** |
|
| L-VALINE |
|
An essential branch chain amino acid that is involved in the production of energy and growth.** |
|
| TAURINE |
|
A non-essential amino acid that aids in fat metabolism.** |
