Amino Gold Product Details:
All life depends on proteins. Proteins carry out all biological
functions in living organisms including humans. Proteins are made of
amino acids, which are their basic building blocks. Essentially, amino
acids are strung like beads in long chains in proteins. In the body,
proteins are made from individual amino acids. Therefore, nutritional
supplementation with amino acids ensures that all cells, tissues and
organs in the body have a ready supply of amino acids.
Ultimate Nutrition's Amino Gold contains all of the most important
amino acids and branched chain amino acids for optimal nutritional
support. These amino acids, of course, provide the body with the
support to produce proteins. Amino acids, however, carry out other
important functions. Nutritional supplementation keeps the amino acid
supply in the bloodstream within healthy range. Under some
circumstances, such as stress whether it is due to high-intensity
exercise or other reasons, amino acids in the blood can be depleted so
that important substances in the body cannot be produced in the right
amounts at the right time in the right place. For example, if serotonin
cannot be synthesized in the brain, ordinary stress may be aggravated
to bigger problems. Some amino acids, such as glycine, glutamine and,
among others arginine, combine with and neutralize toxins. This is of
paramount importance for liver health, since detoxification takes place
in the liver. Branched chain amino acids (BCAA), valine, isoleucine and
leucine, greatly aid detoxification and liver function. Hence,
supplementation with amino acids is critical for restoration of
appropriate amounts of amino acids, which help foster better health.
Ultimate Nutrition's Amino Gold also contains sulfur-containing
amino acids methionine and cysteine. These amino acids have been shown
to help prolong life span. Typically, as people age, the amounts of
these two amino acids decreases considerably. Since dietary
supplementation with cysteine prolonged the life span of guinea pigs, a
report in the New England Journal of Medicine suggested that
maintaining optimal levels of methionine and cysteine could potentially
promote longevity in humans.
In summary, Ultimate Nutrition's Amino Gold is a full-spectrum
amino acid nutritional aid to that help maintain optimal levels of
amino acids in the bloodstream and promote good health at any stage of
life.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do All Amino Acids Need To Be taken in The Same Amounts?
No. Different amino acids should be taken in different amounts.
This depends upon the relative natural abundance of each amino acid in
the body and amount required for incorporation in proteins. Ultimate
Nutrition's Amino Gold has amino acids in the exact amounts that the
body needs for optimal function.
How Well Are Amino Acids Absorbed?
Amino acids are efficiently absorbed and transported into the
intestines. True, there is intense competition among various amino
acids for intestinal uptake, since amino acids use the same
transporters to ferry them across the intestinal wall. If sufficient
amounts of the necessary amino acids are available for absorption, they
are taken up in the correct ratios to serve the metabolic needs of the
body.
Do Amino Acids Cross The Blood Brain Barrier?
Yes! Amino acids cross the blood brain barrier using transporters
similar to those employed in intestinal absorption. The brain cells use
the same amino acids as those other tissues of the body. For example,
the amino acid tryptophan is converted to the neurotransmitter
serotonin, which controls many different functions of the brain.
If the Body Produces Peptides, Why Are Amino Acids Necessary?
The body does produce certain peptides, such as di-, tri- and
tetra-peptides (containing two, three and four amino acids,
respectively), but they are a byproduct of the digestive process or the
breakdown of food in the body. As such, these peptides are not
available for incorporation into the proteins and, therefore, do not
serve as building blocks.
Amino acids are essential to the human body. Bodybuilders can
especially benefit from supplementing amino acids because they aid in
repair, growth, and development of muscle tissue. The body, through
assimilation of amino acids, produces over 50,000 proteins and over
15,000 enzymes.
Amino acids are not only responsible for the production of all the
body's enzymes (including digestive enzymes), but they also play a key
role in normalizing moods, concentration, aggression, attention, sleep,
and sex drive.
After protein is consumed, it is broken down into amino acids.
Then, individual amino acids are used to create necessary body proteins
and enzymes. Digestive enzymes break down the proteins a person
consumes into amino acids.
