All Alpha Nutrition Formulas come in powder form to be added to water, juices or food. AAX contains a complete set of the nine essential amino acids, complemented by 10 of the non-essential amino acids.
Amino acids are the real nutrients derived from proteins by digestion of food.
Amino acids do not trigger immune responses. Free amino acids are much more expensive than protein powders, and hydrolyzed proteins but freeing the immune system from protein challenge is well-worth the cost. Some of these amino acids are not destined to be included in body proteins but will be used as neurotransmitters. Tyrosine and phenylalanine, for example, are converted to dopamine, noradrenalin and adrenalin. Tryptophan is converted into serotonin.
