AminoBlend™
A Balanced Formula of 18 L-Crystalline Amino Acids DESCRIPTION
in the amino-acid dependent synthesis of AminoBlend™ capsules, provided by Douglas neurotransmitters and other nitrogenous compounds Laboratories, contain a nutritionally balanced mixture of essential, conditionally essential, and important AminoBlend was formulated to provide optimal non-essential amino acids in their physiological L- amounts of those dietary amino acids that are most important in balancing a physiological plasma amino acid profile. FUNCTIONS
INDICATIONS
Amino acids have many functions in the body. They are the building blocks for all body proteins— AminoBlend capsules may be a useful nutritional structural proteins that build muscle, connective adjunct for individuals who wish to obtain a balanced tissues, bones and other structures, and functional spectrum of nutritionally important amino acids. proteins in the form of thousands of metabolically active enzymes. Amino acids provide the body with the nitrogen that is essential for growth and maintenance of all tissues and structures. Proteins and amino acids also serve as a source of L-Lysine, L-Arginine, L-Isoleucine, L-Leucine, L-Alanine, energy, providing about 4 calories per gram. L-Threonine, L-Histidine, L-Cystine, L-Methionine, L-Glutamine, L-Tyrosine, L-Aspartic Acid, L-Valine, L- Aside from these general functions, individual amino Glutamic Acid, L-Phenylalanine, Glycine, L-Serine, and L- acids also have specific functions in many aspects of human physiology and biochemistry. Amino acids serve as precursors for many nitrogenous substances. SUGGESTED USE
These include heme, purines, pyrimidines, hormones, Two capsules, three times daily at the start of a meal, and neuro-transmitters, including biologically active peptides. In addition, many proteins contain amino acids that have been modified for a specific function, SIDE EFFECTS
e.g., calcium binding or collagen cross-linking. In the fasting state, blood plasma contains all metabolically important amino acids in characteristic concentrations, and each amino acid is present in a Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct light. defined ratio relative to the others. After a meal, the ratios of plasma amino acids change to reflect amino acid intake, but return later to their original levels. REFERENCES
