Amino acids are chemical substances containing NO amino and COO-acid groups in molecules. There are hundreds of amino acids. For our remedies we use only 20. They are known as the protein structural units of our body. Amino acids are important for many functions of the nervous system, especially in terms of neurotransmission.
Neurotransmitters are substances, which transfer the messages from one nerve cell to another.
During passing on the nerve impulse the neurotransmitters diffuse through the synapse space and activate the next cell, performing the vital connections within the nervous system. At present we know about 100 different neurotransmitters. Other neurotransmitters widely spread in the nervous system are dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine and serotonin are derivatives of amino acids. But the most important and unique is the ability to enhance the plasticity of the nervous system. Plasticity is a well-known phenomenon.
