In this
post we will focus on the individual amino acids and BCAAs.
BCAA - a 3
crucial for the body amino acids. They are consumed in cases of excessive load
on the body. Athletes take them directly during training that would improve
their own results. For us, they are of value in the form of a precursor of
glutamine. Glutamine also serves to strengthen the immune system.
Having
protein and BCAA, we conclude that our body uses amino acids and uses them to
sustain themselves in the manner and further improvement. Amino easiest to
receive from food protein mixture or buy separately in different product forms.
They are sold in drugstores in ampoules and tablets. Some are widely
distributed in nature (Glycine, familiar to us from the post of nootropics),
others are synthesized only from the individual components (glutamine).
Below is a
complete list of amino acids and their role in the human body. They should take
only after consulting your doctor.
Essential
amino acids - is an amino acid which the body cannot synthesize itself and can
only receive food and supplements.
Conditionally
essential amino acids - are synthesized in the body in insufficient quantities.
Nonessential
amino acids - the body can synthesize itself, but supplementation carries its
benefits.
Essential amino acids
Valine. One
of the main components in the synthesis and growth of body tissues. The main
source - animal products. Experiments on laboratory rats have shown that the
valine improves muscle coordination, and reduces the body's sensitivity to
pain, cold and heat.
Histidine.
It promotes growth and tissue repair. A large number contained in the
hemoglobin; It is used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, allergies,
ulcers, and anemia. Lack of histidine can cause hearing loss.
Isoleucine.
It comes with all products containing complete protein - meat, poultry, fish,
eggs and dairy products.
Leucine. It
comes with all products containing complete protein - meat, poultry, fish, eggs
and dairy products. It is necessary not only for the synthesis of protein by
the body, but also to strengthen the immune system.
Lysine.
Good sources - cheese, fish. One of the important components in the production
of carnitine. Ensures proper absorption of calcium; involved in the formation
of collagen (which is then formed cartilage and connective tissue); actively
involved in the production of antibodies, hormones and enzymes. Recent studies
have shown that lysine, improving the overall balance of nutrients that may be
useful in the fight against herpes. The disadvantage may be expressed in
ustavaemosti, inability to concentrate, irritability, damage to blood vessels
eye, hair loss, anemia and reproductive problems in the field.
Methionine.
Good sources - cereals, nuts and cereals. What is important in the metabolism
of fats and proteins that the body uses it for the production of cysteine. It
is a major supplier of sulfur which prevents disorders in the formation of
hair, skin and nails; It helps to reduce cholesterol levels, increasing the
production of lecithin liver; It lowers the level of fat in the liver protects
the kidneys; It is involved in the removal of heavy metals from the body; It
regulates the formation of ammonia and it cleans the urine, which decreases the
load on the bladder; It affects the hair follicles and hair growth support.
Threonine.
An important component in the synthesis of purines, which, in turn, decompose
urea byproduct protein synthesis. An important component of collagen, elastin
and protein enamel; involved in dealing with fat deposition in the liver; It
supports a smoother functioning of the digestive and intestinal tracts; General
takes part in metabolism and assimilation.
Tryptophan.
It is primary in relation to niacin (vitamin B) and serotonin, which is
participating in the processes of the brain controls appetite, sleep, mood and
pain threshold. A natural relaxant, helps fight insomnia, causing normal sleep;
It helps to fight with the state of anxiety and depression; useful in the
treatment of migraine headaches; It strengthens the immune system; It reduces
the risk of spasms of the arteries and heart muscle; with lysine fights for
lowering of holesterina.V Canada and many European countries designated as
antidepressants and sleeping pills. In the United States for such a use are
wary.
Phenylalanine.
One of the essential amino acids. It is used by the body for the production of
tyrosine and three important hormones - epinephrine (adrenaline),
norepinephrine, and thyroxine, and the neurotransmitter dopamine. Used for the
production of brain norepinephrine, a substance that transmits signals from
nerve cells to the brain; It supports us in a state of wakefulness and
receptivity; reduce hunger; It acts as an antidepressant and helps improve
memory.
Conditionally essential amino acids
Tyrosine.
It is used by the body instead of phenylalanine in the synthesis of protein.
Sources - milk, meat, fish. The brain uses tyrosine in the development of
norepinephrine, which increases mental tone. Promising results showed attempts
to use tyrosine as a means to combat fatigue and stress.
Cysteine.
If a sufficient amount of cysteine diet, the body can be used instead of
methionine for protein production. Good sources of cysteine - meat, fish,
soy, oats and wheat. The cysteine used in the food industry as an antioxidant
to preserve the vitamin C in the finished product.
Nonessential amino acids
Alanine. It
is an important source of energy for muscle tissue, the brain and central
nervous system; It strengthens the immune system through the production of
antibodies; actively involved in the metabolism of sugars and organic acids.
Arginine.
L-Arginine is slowing down the development of tumors and cancers. It cleans the
liver. It helps to release growth hormone, strengthens the immune system,
promotes the development of sperm and is useful in the treatment of disorders
and injuries of the kidneys. It is necessary for the synthesis of protein and
optimal growth. Presence of L-arginine in the body contributes to increase in
muscle mass and decrease body fat stores. Also useful for liver disorders such
as cirrhosis of the liver, for example. It is not recommended to receive
pregnant and nursing women.
Asparagine.
Aspartic acid is actively involved in the output of ammonia, harmful to the
central nervous system. Recent studies have shown that aspartic acid may
increase resistance to fatigue.
Glutamine.
What is important is to normalize blood sugar, increase efficiency of the
brain, for the treatment of impotence in the treatment of alcoholism, helps
fight fatigue, brain disorders - epilepsy, schizophrenia and a block, needed
for the treatment of stomach ulcers, and formation of a healthy digestive
tract. The brain is converted into glutamic acid important for brain function.
When used should not be confused with glutamine glutamic acid by the action of
these drugs differ from each other. Glutamic acid is considered a natural
"fuel" for the brain, improves mental ability. to accelerate the
treatment of ulcers, improves resistance to fatigue.
Glycine.
Actively involved in providing oxygen process of formation of new cells. He is
a valued member of the production of hormones, responsible for strengthening
the immune system.
Carnitine.
Carnitine - transport agent of fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix. Liver
and kidneys produce carnitine in a small amount of the other two amino acids -
lysine and methionine. In a lot of the body it comes in meat and dairy
products. By preventing the growth of fat reserves this amino acid is important
to reduce the weight and reduce the risk of heart disease. The body produces
carnitine only in the presence of a sufficient number of lysine, iron and
enzymes B19 and B69. Vegetarians more susceptible to deficiency of carnitine,
since their diet is much less lysine. Carnitine also improves the effectiveness
of antioxidants - vitamins C and E. It is believed that the best utilization of
fat daily intake of carnitine should be 1500 milligrams.
Ornithine.
Ornithine helps produce growth hormone, which in combination with L-arginine
and L-carnitine promotes the re-use in the metabolism of excess fat. It is
necessary for the liver and immune system.
Proline.
Extremely important for the proper functioning of the ligaments and joints; It
is also involved in maintaining the efficiency and strengthening the heart
muscle.
Serene.
Participates in the storing of liver and muscle glycogen; actively participate
in strengthening the immune system, making its antibody; generates fat
"cases" around nerve fibers.
Taurine. It
stabilizes the excitability of membranes which is very important to control
epileptic seizures. Taurine and Sulphur are considered factors required under
the control of many biochemical changes that occur in the aging process;
involved in the liberation of the body from clogging free radicals.
