Alanine is a nonessential amino acid that assists the body to convert glucose into energy (also known as l-alanine).

Alanine helps the liver process and eliminate various types of toxins from the body. These functions help to slow the process of using muscle protein to fuel the body and assists in keeping blood glucose levels within a healthy range.

The body creates alanine by identifying the presence of any excess amino acids in the tissues or cells and transferring those amino acids to a receptor molecule that is known as pyruvate (pyruvate is created when glucose is broken down in the body). The infusion of any excess amino acids into the pyruvate results in the production of alanine which is then moved into the liver. The liver in turn breaks down this amino acid and utilises the nitrogen content to create more pyruvate, thus repeating the production cycle.

Excess nitrogen is expelled from the liver, carrying along toxins that may be present. Excessive amounts of nitrogen into the body can make it difficult for those organs to manage toxins and waste efficiently.

Foodstuff sources:  

Fish, red meat, pork, dairy products, eggs, poultry and avocados.

 

Alanine is involved in:   

Note

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

Before using supplements always consult a health professional, especially if there is any type of kidney or liver problem.
