The Non-essential Amino acids

Did you know the non-essential amino acids are just as important to your health as the essential amino acids. Don't let the term essential fool you. Non-essential seems to denote not required. Not true. All the non-essential amino acids are neccessary for optimal health. So what is the difference? Essential means that we must receive these nutrients by diet or supplementation. Non-essential means the body produces these from the chemical transformation of an essential amino acid or a combination thereof. However just because the body should produce the non-essential amino acids that does not mean it will. In such cases supplementation must ocurr. A lot of new research is being conducted on the non-essential amino acids. Amino acids like arginine, glutamine, glutathione, glycine and alanine are showing promising results for conditions like heart, prostate, cancers, weight loss and skin improvement. Even Dr OZ has begun recommending amino acids like L-arginine on his programs. Amino acids are very effective in restoring health. Check out the non-essentials and their functional benefits: Alanine- prostate health, nervous system, antibody production, sugar regulation (diabetics), eliminates toxins. Arginine - erectile dysfunction, arthritis, bone health, HGH releaser, heart, hypertension, blood flow, collagen for skin, weight loss, mental acuity, cancer, and tumors. Asparagine - Amino acid converter, helps mood swings, balances brain and nervous system Aspartic acid- Increases testosterone, chronic fatigue, PH balance, metabolism, stamina +endurance, drug user rehab, brain function, immune system (produces antibodies). Cysteine- powerful antioxidant, second hand smoke, iron absorption, respiratory congestion-asthma, bronchitis etc, repairs chemotherapy damage, hair growth, arthritis, heavy metals and AIDS. GABA-- Induces sleep, relaxation, well being, depression, anxiety, reduces tension, muscle tightness, ADHD, epileptic seizures, prostate, high blood pressure Glutamic acid-- neurotransmitter, brain fuel, learning, memory, behavioral disorders, prostate, treats epileptic seizures, treats hypoglycemic comas, readily converts to glucose, detoxifies liver Glutathione- Antiaging, cell regeneration, removes toxicity from drug medication, removes lead +mercury, fights 69 different diseases, energy, heart and lung function, most potent antioxidant. Glycine- constructs RNA and DNA, neurotransmitters, regulates bile, leg ulcers, prostate, stroke, epilepsy, Schizophrenia, calcium absorption, energy, regulates sugar levels (diabetes), anemia, Chronic fatigue, arterial plaque, digestive health, melanoma and tumors. Glutamine- brain intellectual functioning, stabilizes blood sugar (diabetics), digestive track, ulcers, colitis, bowel function, protein synthesis (protein to body tissue), PH balance, Ammonia elimination, anti- inflammatory, arthritus, connective tissues, epilepsy, fatigue, male impotence, Schizophrenia, Immune system, decreases hunger Proline- collagen, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, joints, back pain, stiffness, arthritis, immune system and heart muscle development Serine- mental acuity, concentration, memory, produces tryptophan, fatigue, and fibromyalga Taurine- vision, nerve function, anxiety, protects from toxic poisons, congestive heart failure, cholesterol, mineral cell balance, epileptic seizures, obesity and weight loss, glucose and insulin balance, diabetics, muscle maintenance Carnitine- Heart attack, angina, congestive heart failure, lowers cholesterol and triglycerides, peripheral vascular circulation, kidney and dialysis, and weight loss. As you can see, these nutrients can be very helpful in restoring a variety of conditions.
