Carnitine
Carnitine
is not an amino acid in the strictest
definition, but, because it has
a chemical structure like an amino
acid it is usually put in that
category. The main function of
Carnitine in the human body is
helping transport long chain fatty
acids to the inside of cells to
provide energy. This is a major
source of energy for your muscles.
Thus carnitine is used in health
supplements to help boost energy,
prevent fatigue, and maintain
the body.
Glutathione
Glutathione
is not technically an amino acid.
However, due to its close relationship
to amino acids, it is normally
grouped with the amino acids.
Most glutathione is found in the
liver, where it detoxifies many
harmful compounds to be excreted
through the bile. Glutathione
helps to maintain the strength
of your red blood cells and also
protecting your white blood cells.
It is also part of an important
antioxidant enzyme in the body.
Lysine
Lysine is
an essential amino acid and is
a building block for all protein
in the body. It helps calcium
absorption and nitrogen balance
in adults. It cannot be manufactured
by your body. Lysine supports
the normal development of bone
and connective tissue.
Methionine
Methionine
is an essential amino acid that
is not synthesized by the body
and must be obtained from food.
It is one of the "sulfur-containing"
amino acids and is important in
many body functions. Through its
supply of sulfur, it help to improve
the tone and elasticity of the
skin, condition the hair and strengthen
nails. Sulfur also protects the
cells from airborne pollutants,
such as smog, slows down the aging
process in the cells, and is involved
with the production of protein.
Methionine is essential for the
absorption and transportation
and bio-availability of selenium
and zinc in the body.
Taurine
Taurine is
an amino acid. It is vital to
the proper utilization of sodium,
magnesium, potassium, and calcium.
Taurine has a protective effect
upon the human brain. The amino
acid taurine is important in tissues
such as the brain and heart.
It is found in the central nervous
system where it has several supportive
functions.
Amino
acids include: Carnitine,
Glutathione, Lysine, Methionine,
Taurine
