WHY TEST FOR AMINO ACIDS ?
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are essential for many bodilv processes. Your digestive tract breaks down protein from food you eat into individual amino acids, which are then absorbed into the blood stream. Your body uses these amino acids for a variety of critical functions:
They build the structural proteins of muscle and connective tissue.
They make enzymes, which control every chemical reaction in your body.
They make a variety of brain neurotransmitters and hormones, generate energy, stabilize blood sugar and aid in detoxification and anti-oxidant protection.
As a result, amino acids have a powerful effect on strength and endurance, mental-emotional health, immune function and inflammatory processes.


How You Can Become Deficient in Amino Acids:
Essential amino acids are those which your body cannot make, so they must be supplied from diet.
There is growing evidence that we may not be getting optimal amounts may of
critical amino acids into our systems, either through poor dietary habits or inadequate digestion and absorption of proteins. Many health problems may benefit by specific amino acid supplementation.
