Amino acids are the basis of all life forms, and
all life forms rely on amino acids for food. There are 22 amino
acids and all are vital to our longevity. Other than water, amino
acids are the most abundant substance in our bodies.representing
75% of the body's dry weight. Our bodies are made up of trillions
of cells, and proteins are part of every one of those cells.
The human body has over 40,000 known combinations of the amino
acids that make up the building blocks of proteins.
These building blocks are 20 times more plentiful in the body
than vitamins. They are 4 times more plentiful in the human body
than minerals, however, minerals, as we know, are an essential
part of the more complex amino acids and proteins.
Amino acids not only combine with other amino acids to form new
ones, but they combine with minerals to form more complex amino
acid complexes. Almost all the nutrients we ingest are made up
of amino acids except minerals. Examples: vitamins, enzymes and
probiotics are all complex forms of amino acids.The more complex
the protein, the more processes in the body it takes to break
it down to its free form state. We want the amino acids to be
more readily available ..in their free form state. Less than
.1% of all protein in your body is in this free form state. (Just
as an aside, that's why our whey protein powder is so wonderful.
The proteins are in their most simple state.) Plasma amino acids
are generally those immediately available.
Amino acids
are the basis of all life forms, and all life forms rely on amino
acids for food. A way to
picture this: just as a chemist uses a periodic table to simplify
all matter into elements nutritionist might be able to use the
basic 22 amino acids to combine the building blocks of all life.
If our body is working right, it can make about 13 of the amino
acids itself. There are 9 essential amino acids that must be
ingested.
Essential must be ingested.
Nonessential can only be made by the body when the
essential amino acids are present with their cofactors in adequate
amounts. Conditionally essential (6) means that certain circumstances
(i.e. illness, age, poor diet, enzyme deficiency, stress, allergies
and pollution) they are considered essential. But really, in
certain situations, any amino acid could be considered essential.
Each protein complex is made up of amino acids. The amino acids
must be in the correct proportions and they all must be there
in the matrix, or the protein may fall apart or malfunction.
It's only as strong as its weakest link!
It all starts with digestion. This is where the protein bonds
are broken down first into peptides, then releasing free form
amino acids into the body to be used where required. The go to
the most life preserving pathways or places first. If there aren't
enough available, the body's rebuilding processes suffer.
The ability to break down protein into free form amino acids
differs for each person. Many factors such as aging, poor diet,
lack of digestive enzymes, erratic sleep patterns, stress, lack
of exercise, food allergies, environmental pollution and illness
may result in an amino acid deficiency.
This is why supplements and quality supplements are so critical.
We can't direct amino acids where we want them to be in our bodies.
We can't regulate our digestion although we're constantly working
on improving our health. So supplementing with the most simple
and free form of amino acids, reduces the possibility of digestion
struggles, and sends the aminos on their way. Minutes after the
free form aminos are available to the stomach, they are available
to the blood stream!! You have essentially bypassed the conversion
and breakdown of the protein bonds and gone straight to the bloodstream!
Enter Youngevity products: Classic Ultimate,
Tangy Tangerine
Ultimate ! Each of these products contain the following amino
acids, in their free form:
Alanine used by the body as fuel, mainly by
the brain, nervous system and muscles. Important cofactor in
the storage of energy from the body's Dreb cycle. Used to produce
glucose. Known to build the immune system and be helpful in the
post-injury state.
Arginine (essential) to children and conditionally
essential to adults. Increases protein synthesis, protects against
tumor and cancer formation, regulates hormone secretion, and
in creases polyamine synthesis and thymus function. Aids in the
stimulation of the body's own human growth hormones (HGH). This
increases wound healing, ensures that fat is burned more efficiently
and that muscle tissue is built up. Once HGH is released, the
body can build muscle and bone, and use fat stored while involved
in insulin production. It's an important part of any weight loss
program. Helpful for the liver. May increase the motility (the
ability of sperm to move) and normal sperm count and contribute
greatly to resolving problems of infertility. The body needs
Arginine to repair itself properly, occur naturally during a
state of sleep.
Aspartic
Acid thought to increase
stamina and therefore fight fatigue. Assists in detoxification
of ammonia. Promotes uptake of other toxins from the bloodstream
and trace elements in the gut. Assists in the transport of magnesium
and potassium to cells.
Cystine needed for healthy skin and hair. Promotes
a faster recovery from surgery/injury, and increases white cell
activity in the immune system increasing resistance to disease.
May help with respiratory problems such as bronchitis.
Glutamic
Acid known as brain fuel
and a calming agent against anxiety. Precursor to Gaba, a component
of GTF and is required for the production of other non-essential
amino acids and folic acid. Assists in the metabolization of
sugars and fats and is abundant in the brain as a neurotransmitter
sending messages from one brain cell to the next. Increases firing
of neurons in the nervous system. Helps correct personality disorders.
The brain converts it to a compound that regulates brain activity.
A deficiency results in brain damage.
Glycine the simplest amino acid. Is responsible
for proper muscle function and the freeing of energy to be used
by them. Builds the immune system by producing antibodies and
is effective as an anti-acid.
Histidine (essential) builds the immune system.
Found effective when used in the treatment of allergic diseases,
rheumatoid arthritis and ulcers. May help unblock nasal passages,
resolve redness and swelling.
Isoleucine (essential) is part of branch chain
amino acids and important in hemoglobin formation, and thererefore,
healthy blood and the transport of oxygen in the body. Important
in the regulation of blood sugar levels.
Leucine (essential) is part of branch chain
amino acids and believed to be responsible for lowering high
blood sugar levels, and is important in the healing of bones,
skin and muscle tissue.
Lysine (essential) may inhibit the growth of
viruses and is most well known for its use in soothing the effects
of herpes. May improve endurance to stress and battle fatigue.
Important for vegetarians. Aids in the absorption of calcium
and deficiencies could lead to calcium excretion (kidney stones)
and possible dwarfness. Strengthens the thymus gland and immune
system. Important in collagen formation in tissue, necessary
for neutralizing viruses and repairing damage to the eye lens.
Methionine (essential) along with other body substances
such as selenium, detoxifies heavy metals (such as lead) and
excessive levels of Histamine. A powerful antioxidant preventing
free radical damage to tissues. Produces choline, a brain food,
and may help with the digestive system, helps in the breakdown
of fats, prevents the buildup of fat in the liver and arteries,
premature hair loss and fight fatigue. Beneficial for people
with allergies. Along with Acidophilus and Bifidus, helps increase
neuro-transmitters in the brain. Helps create adrenaline which
controls sexual activity and mitigates the effects of high histamine
levels and prevents premature ejaculation. Should be taken with
calcium.
Phenylalanine (essential) in the L-form required by
the thyroid for normal function, thought to control appetite,
and act as an anti-depressant by increasing moods. May enhance
the ability to learn and the retention of memory. Produces neurotransmitters
that the brain uses to manufacture norepinephrine, a natural
stimulant that creases a sense of well being. Involved in the
production of phenylethylamine, a brain stimulant. Being used
today by many as an appetite suppressant in obesity. A precursor
to norepinephrine (the brain's version of adrenaline) and dopamine
in the brain. Helpful after an allergic reaction, cold or flu
to restore sense of well being. Promotes relief from symptoms
that may interfere with normal sleep.
Proline (non-essential) acid critical to the
proper functioning and formation of tendons, joints and heart
muscle.
Serine-(non-essential) known to increase the
immune system by building up antibodies, aid in the proper metabolism
of fats and fatty acids, and assist in the growth of muscles.
Threonine- (essential) is thought to help maintain
the proper protein balance in the body and prevent fatty buildup
in the liver. May boost the immune system by forming antibodies
and immunoglobulins. Helps regulate the central nervous system.
Tyrosine- (non-essential) found to elevate the
mood and is conditionally effective against depression. Helps
to form red and white blood cells and enhance the immune function.
Known to suppress the appetite; and may aid in losing excess
weight. May stimulate growth hormone release for positive muscle
growth and the burning off of excess fat. Helps break down Phenylalanine.
A lack of it trigger a deficiency of the hormone norphinephrine,
resulting in depression and mood disorders. Used to synthesize
epinephrine and dopamine.
Valine- (essential) is part of the branch chain
amino acids and key to the proper nitrogen balance of the body.
It may aid in improving muscle metabolism and tissue repair;
very helpful for after surgery or other stress put on the body
such as most forms of exercising or heavy weight training.
Every amino acid requires cofactors
to function at its best or at all, therefore never take amino
acids as single ingredients! Because Youngevity's products: Classic
Ultimate, Tangy Tangerine Ultimate and Sports Tech formulations
have superior safety and potency, the use of these combinations
are becoming more common than plain vitamin combinations and
certainly are directly competing with over the counter or prescribed
pharmaceutical remedies for common ailments caused by nutritional
deficiencies.
