Vitamin C, beta carotene, vitamin E and selenium scavenge free oxygen radicals. Amino Acids Instead of proteins, free amino acids are provided in the Alpha Nutrition series. A complete set of the nine essential amino acids is complemented by 10 of the non-essential amino acids. Alpha ENF contains branch-chain amino acids. One of the therapeutic secrets of ENFs is the avoidance of proteins or pieces of proteins known as peptides.
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 avoid the protein problems by using a balanced set of pure amino acids instead of proteins or hydrolyzed proteins. 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.
