Amino Acid Supplements Products
Amino acids are essential building blocks of tissues and proteins and act as metabolism intermediates. For this reason, getting enough essential amino acids through your daily diet and/or supplements is very important so your body can grow and repair itself correctly.Â
Vita Living offers essential amino acid supplements, which prevent muscle tissue breakdown and increase human growth hormone release. These supplements effectively reduce abdominal fat, retain muscle mass, and improve exercise performance. In addition to providing physical fitness, amino acid supplements control mood swings, improve concentration levels, and positively impact various physiological phenomena.
Amino acids help the body develop and maintain healthy tissues. In addition, your nervous system also needs a good supply of amino acids to function correctly. A lack of the amino acid known as tryptophan can cause lowered production of serotonin, which can lead to sleep and mood disorders. Additionally, amino acids are essential in creating enzymes to support biochemical reactions and hormones that help regulate metabolism. More research on the value of amino acid supplements is being conducted every day, and it is becoming increasingly apparent that individual amino acids and specially formulated combinations may be very valuable in healing some types of illnesses and conditions. For example, glutamine may help people who wish to curb cravings for sugar or alcohol. Phenylalanine helps ease chronic pain.
You break down some tissues whenever you exercise, and your body needs amino acids to repair them. That's why many athletes supplement amino acids with protein drinks and supplements. The amino acids in protein drinks are absorbed quickly into the body and are available for use. Foods rich in protein are also rich in amino acids; however, these are not as bio-available as those found in supplements and protein drinks. To make the most of the amino acids found in foods, you must be sure to chew thoroughly so that your stomach will be well supplied with hydrochloric acid and enzymes to break down your food efficiently and extract amino acids effectively. If you are considering supplementing your diet with amino acids, consult your healthcare professional and turn to Vita Living for high-quality, dependable supplements.
