Non Essential Amino Acids

 

Alanine required for

Metabolism of glucose and tryptophan Beta-alanine is a constituent of vitamin B5 as well as coenzyme A

Assisting the transfer of nitrogen from peripheral tissues to the liver

Working to produce antibodies

Protein construction

 

 

 

Aspargine required for

The nervous system to maintain equilibrium

Amino acid transformation from one form to the other - this is achieved in the liver

 

 

 

 

 

Aspartic Acid required for

The metabolism during construction of other amino acids and biochemical's in the citric acid cycle.

The functioning of RNA, DNA, and the production of immunoglobulin and antibody synthesis.

Stamina, brain and neural health

Assists the liver by removing excess ammonia

Works in combination with other amino acids to remove other toxins from the bloodstream.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cysteine required for

The production of the amino acid taurine -  is a component of the antioxidant gluthione.

Assisting in protecting the brain and liver from damage from alcohol, drugs etc.

The metabolism of a number of essential biochemical's including coenzyme A, heparin, biotin, lipoid acid, and glutathione

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Glutamic Acid required for

As an important excitatory neurotransmitter

Metabolism of sugars and fats.

Transportation of potassium across the blood-brain barrier, although itself does not pass this barrier that easily

Glutamic acid may be used as fuel in the brain, and can attach itself to nitrogen atoms in the process of forming glutamine - this action also detoxifies the body of ammonia**.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Those suffering from Epstein Barr, as well as chronic fatigue syndrome, have been linked to excessively high levels of alanine while having low levels of tyrosine and phenylalanine

 

Present in prostrate fluid

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can be produced from aspartic acid

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Among the biochemical's that are synthesized from aspartic acid are asparagine, arginine, isoleucine, lysine, methionine, threonine,, and several nucleotides.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Useful to detoxify the body from harmful toxins.

 

Important in collagen production and assists in skin elasticity and texture.

May help in strengthening the protective lining of the stomach and intestines.

If supplemented best  with selenium vitamin B6 and vitamin E.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

May assist in the future treatment of neurological conditions

 

The fluid produced by the prostate gland contains amounts of glutamic acid

 

                                                                    **This is the only method in which ammonia in the brain is detoxified..
