Amino Acids

NOW&; Amino 1000 contains a balanced blend of the following 20 essential and non-essential amino acids: L-Alanine,L-Arginine,L-Aspartic Acid, L-Carnitine, L-Cysteine, L-Glutamic Acid, L-Glycine, L-Histidine, L-Isoleucine, L-Leucine, L-Lysine, L-Methionine, L-Ornithine, L-Phenylalanine, L-Proline, L-Serine, L-Threonine, L-Tryptophan, L-Tyrosine and L-Valine.

L-Arginine is a conditionally essential basic amino acid involved primarily in urea metabolism and excretion as well as DNA synthesis.*

L-Phenylalanine is an essential, nine-carbon amino acid and is a precursor to the amino acid tyrosine. Because tyrosine is necessary for the synthesis of proteins and the production of the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine, phenylalanine is an extremely important nutrient that must be obtained through the diet or supplementation.

NOW&; L-Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid and plays an important role in the production of the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine as well as a precursor for adrenaline.*
