A complete set of the nine essential amino acids is complemented by 10 of the non-essential amino acids. Leucine in particular seems to promote muscle growth, acting in concert with insulin. The other two branch-chain amino acids, isoleucine and valine, may also supply muscle fuel if impairment of glucose utilization occurs. Arginine has been effective in improving tissue repair and can be considered growth-promoting. The technique of amino acid proportioning is a frontier in nutritional programming for athletic performance.
Proteins are the most reactive molecules in food allergic disease.
Staple foods such as milk, eggs, wheat, and meat contain proteins that frequently causes immune responses and are the basic problem in delayed patterns of food allergy. Alpha ENF and NutraBalance avoid protein problems by providing a balanced set of amino acids - 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, but freeing the immune system from protein challenge is well-worth the cost. Neurotransmitters Some of these amino acids are not destined to be included in body proteins but will be used as neurotransmitters.
