T. J. Clark Amino Acid Advanced Formula ™
AMINO ACIDS are our bodies "Building Blocks of Life". Being
the building blocks of all life, they can also be a way to improved health on an
everyday basis.
What are Amino Acids?
The basic structure of protein is a chain of amino acids that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. The
presence of nitrogen differentiates protein from carbohydrate and fat. The
differences between proteins depend on the order in which the amino acids join. The human body requires
approximately 22 amino acids for the synthesis of its proteins. Nine are essential, which means they cannot
be manufactured by the body (must be derived from diet or supplementation), the rest are non-essential, meaning they
can be manufactured by the body with proper nutrition. The classification of an
amino acid as essential or nonessential does not reflect its importance,
because all amino acids are necessary for health. Instead, this classification system
simply shows whether the body is capable of manufacturing a particular amino acid.
What Do Amino Acids Do?
Protein forming amino acids regulate immunity, growth, neurological development, reproduction, recovery from illness
and injury and a host of other life sustaining functions.
Who Needs Amino Acids?
We all need amino acids. People on diets, especially low protein diets, some vegetarians, body builders, and
people consuming an inadequate number of calories may not be consuming adequate amounts of amino acids. In these
cases, the body will break down the protein in muscle tissue and use those amino acids to meet the
needs of more important organs or despite increasing exercise you will simply not build more muscle mass.
Our Advanced Amino Acid formula catalyzed with phytogenic compounds formulated to ensure that your body receives and
is able to use the essential amino acids needed for optimal health.
