Comments |
| AA1 |
Arginine |
|
Stimulates
human growth hormone which stimulates defence function; accelerates wound
healing; detoxifying ammonia; normal sperm count; glucose control mechanism
in blood; enhances fat metabolism; involved in insulin production; arthritis;
inhibition of tumour development; premature ageing; overweight; fatigue;
memory. |
essential
for children but not for adults |
| AA2 |
Aspartic
Acid |
liver,
intestine |
Protects
liver; detoxification of ammonia; promotes uptake of trace elements in
the gut; involved in the energy cycle; involved in transportation of magnesium
and potassium to cells; fatigue. |
non-essential |
| AA3 |
Carnitine |
heart |
Sperm
motility; protects heart; major role in transferring fatty acids into
cells where used as energy sources; mobilising fatty deposits in obesity;
removal of ketones from blood; reduction of triglycerides in the blood;
reduces surface fats in cellulite; circulatory problems; fatigue; muscle
weakness; alcohol damage to liver; glucose tolerance in diabetics; cardiac
disease; angina. |
non-essential |
| AA4 |
Citrulline |
immune |
Can be
made from ornithine by body; can be converted in body to arginine; detoxifies
ammonia (nitrogen) in blood; fatigue; stimulates immune system. |
non-essential;
not part of body protein |
| AA5 |
Cyseine |
liver |
Derived
from methionine or serine in the liver; powerful antioxidant; major detoxifying
agent; part of glucose tolerance factor; using B6; strength of hair; factor
in insulin production; most chronic diseases; removing heavy metals; protects
against alcohol, cigarette smoking and pollution; in iron deficiency;
prevention of cataracts. |
non essential |
| AA6 |
Cystine |
|
Part
of insulin molecule; heavy metal chelator; psoriasis; eczema; tissue healing
after surgery. |
non-essential |
| AA7 |
Glutamine |
brain |
Dominant
amino acids in cerebro-spinal fluid and serum; passes through blood/brain
barrier; powerful "brain fuel"; gives rise to GABA which is a calming
agent; helps maintain body's nitrogen level; used in production of other
non-essential amino acids; protects from alcohol; reduces desire for alcohol
and sometimes sugar; heals peptic ulcers; depression; blunts carbohydrate
craving; hypoglycaemia; schizophrenia; senility; fatigue; memory improvement;
concentration; smoking. |
non-essential |
| AA8 |
Glutathione |
liver |
Inhibits
free radical damage to fat cells; retards ageing process; neutralises
petro-carbons and chlorine; detoxifying; in short supply in diabetics;
protects liver against alcohol; protects against radiation; chelates heavy
metals; regression of tumours in animals; arthritis; skin problems. |
non-essential |
| AA9 |
Histidine |
nerve,
blood, stomach |
Metabolised
into histamine which is important for smooth muscle function and contraction
and expansion of blood vessels; sexual arousal; auditory nerve function;
stimulates production of red and white blood cells; schizophrenia; protects
against radiation damage; chelates toxic metals; rheumatoid arthritis;
digestive tract ulcers; nausea during pregnancy; hearing problems; allergies;
anxiety; low stomach acid; smoking. |
non-essential |
| AA10 |
Isoleucine |
|
Chronically
sick; formation of haemoglobin; energy production; reduces tremors and
twitching in animals; body building. |
essential |
| AA11 |
Leucine |
|
Chronically
sick; essential for growth; wound healing of skin and bones; energy production;
Parkinson’s disease; enhances effects of endorphins. |
essential |
| AA12 |
Lysine |
|
Often
low in vegetarian diets; important for children's growth and development;
involved in synthesis of carnitine, so important in fat metabolism; formation
of antibodies; dietary deficiency leads to increased calcium excretion;
herpes simplex; concentration; fatigue; dizziness; anaemia; visual disorders;
nausea; hypoglycaemia. |
essential |
| AA13 |
Methionine |
gallbladder,
liver |
Antioxidant
preventing free radical damage; helps produce choline, adrenaline, lecithin
and B12; assists gallbladder function; precursor of taurine, cystine and
cysteine. Heavy metal and histamine detoxifier; strengthens hair follicles;
detoxifies liver; affects selenium bio-availability; arthritic and rheumatoid
symptoms; detoxification; antioxidation; retards cataracts; Parkinson’s
disease; schizophrenia; gallbladder problems resulting from use of contraceptive
oestrogen; poor skin tone; hair loss; anaemia; retarded protein synthesis;
atherosclerosis; herpes; memory; premature ejaculation. |
essential |
| AA14 |
Ornithine |
pituitary,
immune |
Stimulates
growth hormone production by pituitary gland; increases metabolism of
fat and enhances transportation of amino acids to cells; ammonia detoxification
in urea cycle; enhances wound healing; stimulates immune system; may be
useful in auto-immune diseases; memory. |
non-essential |
| AA15 |
Phenylalanine |
heart,
brain, throid |
Precursor
of tyrosine and therefore dopamine, norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and
epinephrine (adrenaline), so affects heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen
consumption, blood sugar levels, fat metabolism; important for brain;
necessary for thyroid; shortage predisposes children to eczema; weight
control; antidepressant; pain killer; MS; Parkinson’s disease; memory;
concentration and mental alertness; rheumatoid arthritis; vitiligo; emotional
disorders; circulatory problems; drug addiction; tremors. |
essential |
| AA16 |
Taurine |
heart,
gallbladder, immune |
Interacts
with bile salts to maintain their solubility and cholesterol; helps conserve
potassium and calcium in the heart muscle; influences insulin and blood
sugar levels; increase needed under stress; helpful in some types of epilepsy;
gallbladder disease; eye problems; atherosclerosis; angina; circulation;
tremors; compromised immune function; claimed to enhance IQ in Downs syndrome
children. |
non-essential |
| AA17 |
Threonine |
teeth,
liver, immune, thymus, intestine |
Necessary
for formation of teeth enamel protein, elastin and collagen; minor role
controlling fat build up in liver; precursor of glycine and serine; immune
stimulating as promotes thymus growth and activity; digestive and intestinal
tract functioning; indigestion; malabsorption; irritability; personality
disorders. |
