Glutamine Acid

Present in the juices of many plants and is essential for the Hydrolysis* of proteins.

Alanine

A naturally occurring amino acid.

Glycine

A nonessential amino acid (‘gly’-indicates the presence of sugar/glucose helps trigger the release of oxygen to the energy requiring cell-making process)

Valine

An amino acid derived form the digestion of proteins; essential.

Leucine

An amino acid found in digestion of proteins. It is present in body tissues and is essential for normal growth and metabolism.

Lysine

An amino acid that is a hydrolytic cleavage product of digested protein. It is essential for growth and repair of tissues, helps form collagen.

Ornithine

An amino acid found when arginase hydrolyzes arginine*. It is not present in proteins.

Serine

An amino acid present in many proteins; a storage source of glucose.

Taurine

A derivative of cysteine (cysteine is a sulfur containing amino acid); aids in the clearing of free radical wastes.

Trace Minerals

Essential in the assimilation and utilization of vitamins and other nutrients.

Oligopeptides

Small amount of peptides. (‘oligo’ meaning small or few amino acids that combine into peptides).

Electrolytes

Conduct electricity within cells.

Nucleosides & Nucleotides

Sugars found in a base of purine or pyrimidine, all of which constitute the structural unit of nucleic acid (a group of high-molecular weight substances found in cells of all living things. Most important are deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid, controls protein synthesis in all living cells. RNA is a ‘messenger’ and carries the code for specific amino acid sequences from DNA to cytoplasm for protein synthesis.
