The preparation of each amino acid is chosen for the optimal solubility in water - this provides quick mixing and maximum nutrient absorption. No hydrolyzed proteins are used in Alpha Nutrition formulations. The formulas are hypoallergenic and have been tolerated by people with extreme sensitivity to many if not most foods. Alpha DMX is a a subset of all the nutrient modules without carbohydrate or fat. Alphabet of Life Amino acids are the alphabet characters of body proteins.
Proteins are chains of amino acids linked together like beads on a necklace.
A total of 9 amino acids are considered essential, while another 11 or so can be synthesized from the essential amino acids. There are other amino acids that appear in nature that are not included in protein structure. These odd amino acids appear especially in plants, where they may have roles as insect deterrents. The programs, which determine what we are and how we function, are coded in DNA molecules, housed in the nucleus of every cell. A single character is a base pair that is visualized as the rung on a ladder, twisted into a helix.
