A sweet-tasting crystalline solid, it is the primary amino acid in sugar cane. In the body, it is found mainly in muscle tissue, connective tissue and skin. This substance has several important functions in the body, including helping to regulate blood sugars by breaking glucose down into energy, helping to regulate the synthesis of bile acids to break down fats, and acting as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, primarily in the spinal cord and brain stem where it acts as a transmitter of nerve impulses. Abbreviated as Gly or G, glycine consists of an amino group and a carboxyl group attached to a carbon atom. It's a naturally-occurring organic compound with a chemical formula of NH2CH2COOH. The compound was first isolated in 1820 by Henri Braconnot, a French chemist and pharmacist who discovered this “gelatin sugar” by mixing gelatin with sulfuric acid and bringing it to a boil. 收起 | |

This form of arginine may also be used to treat a number of health conditions, or as a dietary supplement. It is vital in the synthesis of certain proteins, like creatine and insulin, and helps the body to dispose of waste products like ammonia and nitrogen. The body also uses this amino acid together with oxygen to synthesize nitric oxide, a gaseous signaling molecule that acts as a biological messenger, transmitting information from cell to cell. L-arginine is helpful in promoting faster healing and also helps to lower blood pressure. The L-form of the amino acid arginine is one of the 20 most commonly occurring amino acids. Arginine also has a D-form, but the L-form is more compatible with human body chemistry. This amino acid is considered non-essential or semi-essential because it is normally produced by the human body in usable quantities. L-arginine is also found in a number of foods, including dairy products, poultry, pork, wheat germ, nuts, seeds, and chickpeas. Despite the fact that l-arginine is synthesized by the body and is available in many nutritional sources, some individuals suffer from a deficiency of the amino acid, and present with symptoms including slow healing, hair loss, and constipation. 收起 | |

One of the main functions of l-cysteine is the promotion of stomach lining health and also the correction of situations where the absorption of essential nutrients from food sources takes place. Many people are able to obtain as much of this protein source as they need without taking any type of supplement. L-cysteine can be found in a number of foods ranging from meats to dairy and vegetable sources. L-cysteine in the form of cysteine is found in many different protein sources. Chicken, turkey and pork are all good sources of cysteine. Even many varieties of processed luncheon meats contain this amino acid. Cooking does not destroy the presence of cysteine and in some cases may even help to enhance the absorption. When it comes to dairy products, l-cysteine as cysteine can be obtained from eggs and milk. Products such as ricotta and cottage cheese are also good sources. Plain yogurt and whey protein products also provide cysteine in a natural form. Onions, garlic, and broccoli are just a few of the vegetables that contain cysteine and provide good dietary resources when there is a need to augment l-cysteine levels in the body. 收起 | |

It helps the body absorb calcium, and supports the creation of collagen. Amino acids such as L-Lysine are required to maintain good health. These acids are not manufactured by the human body. People get their required amount of amino acids from food, nutritional supplements, and herbs. Natural sources of this amino acid include red meat, chicken, fish, eggs, tofu, and legumes, such as beans and peas. L-Lysine is linked to the production of carnitine. Carnitine converts fatty acids into energy, which in turn reduces cholesterol in the bloodstream. Lysine has also been used to treat cold sores. Several studies were completed to test the effectiveness of taking L-Lysine supplements on a regular basis to control cold sore and genital herpes outbreaks. These studies had mixed results. While some groups concluded that this supplement prevented outbreaks, other studies showed that the Lysine supplements had no effect on the duration or timing of outbreaks. Since it is connected to the production of collagen, athletes sometimes take lysine supplements. Collagen builds connective tissues and helps the human body maintain lean muscle tissue and burn fat. No major studies support this use of the lysine supplement. 收起 | |

Instead, it is typically produced within the body from metabolites, such as glycine. Serine, also known as Ser, is a proteinogenic amino acid. This means it is one of the 22 amino acids that are part of the standard human genetic code. The word proteinogenic is derived from the Latin for 'protein-building.' In 1865, this amino acid was first isolated from protein contained in silk. Silk has a large concentration of it, and the amino acid was named using the Latin word sericum, which means silk. By 1902, the the chemical structure of serine had been determined. The main uses of serine in the human body are to assist in the function of the central nervous system (CNS), as well as with general brain operation. It is present in the myelin sheaths that cover the nerves located in the brain. Without sufficient serine, these sheaths become thin or disappear altogether, leading to an inability for the nerves to transmit messages to other parts of the body. 收起 | |

It is an essential amino acid, meaning that it can’t be made by the body and therefore must be acquired through the diet. Many different foods contain threonine, including most meats, chicken, cottage cheese, mushrooms, and some leafy vegetables. This amino acid supports many different body functions. Threonine is required for the formation of healthy bones and teeth and plays a role in the immune system because it is a necessary constituent of antibodies. It is also present in large amounts in muscle and connective tissues. It is thought to help contribute to their strength and elasticity due to its high proportion in collagen and elastin. Finally, it is required for the synthesis of certain neurotransmitters, suggesting a role in neural health. It is well known that threonine is a necessary building block of many proteins, but its actual role in metabolism is not as well known. This amino acid can be converted to pyruvate or to alpha-ketobutyrate and eventually to succinyl-CoA, suggesting an association with the citric acid cycle. It is one of the amino acids that can be phosphorylated, which is a major mechanism by which cells control various signaling pathways. In addition, it is required for the body to synthesize two non-essential amino acids, glycine and serine, both of which play important roles in various physiological functions. 收起 | |

Leucine acid is also available in supplement form and is popular among people who engage in sports activities on a regular basis. Leucine amino acid is also used as a food additive, as the compound can help to enhance the flavor of many different types of food. In the body, leucine is produced by the process of hydrolysis and can involve just about every type of food protein that is consumed. The acid is used in muscle tissue, the liver, and in adipose tissue. In the case of muscle and adipose tissue, leucine is one of the components needed to form sterols. There are several ways in which the leucine protein product helps maintain proper function of various organs and muscle groups. One important role of the amino acid involved helping the body to maintain a proper blood glucose level. 收起 |
