HOW AMINO ACIDS STRENGHTEN AND MAINTAIN A HEALTHY IMMUNE SYSTEM

With many different toxins,viruses and microbes in food,water and the enviroment in general: keeping the immune system functioning optimally is an important step in a healthy body. Here is a detailed explanation of the amino acids that strenghten and enhance a healthy immune system:

L-Lysine- Promotes production of antibodies,hormones and enzymes.Maintains the body's nitrogen balance,aids in calcium absorption and it is instrumental in the formation of collagen in skin,joints and muscles.
L-GLUTAMINE-It is most used by the body particularly during times of stress.The immune system and the gut depent on Glutamine,if the body does not produce glutamine,muscle loss and immune dysfunction can occur.Glutamine protects muscle mass and prevents acidosis and it is key to the metabolism.
GLYCINE-It is one of the stimulatory amino acids inducing the pituitary gland to secrete human growth hormone(HGH)it also increases energy output in exercise workouts.Strenghtens the immmune system as well.
L-TYROSINE-An amino acid precursor to epinephrine,norepinephrine and dopamine,three important brain Neurotransmitters involved in moods,mental function and sex drive.Tyrosine is also used by the thyroid gland for production of thyroxine a vital hormone involved in regulating growth,metabolism and mental health.Tyrosine can help in fatigue and depression of PMS sufferers.
L-SERINE-This amino acid serves a glycogenic function by aiding in the storage of glucose by the liver and muscles it also aids in the production of antibodies and immunoglobins.Serine supports nerve tissue by synthesizing fatty acid sheath.
These amino acids are found in Tyson's Aminovirox Formula, click here for more information on Aminovirox.

Coenzyme Q10
Your heart is an engine providing oxygen and nutrients to every cell of your body. As you age, it's critical to supplement your
body with CoQ10 since your levels of CoQ10 begin to dimish after age 30. By age 50, your levels of CoQ10 may become too
low to support your heart functions at an optimal level thus accelerating the aging process.
