Amino Ultra

Amino Ultra is a professional grade nutraceutical product that contains a powerful blend of 21 highly bioavailable (absorbable) amino acids that help the body form the essential protein-based building blocks of life. By assisting in the formation of protein, these L-shaped free-form amino acids have been carefully selected for their ability to be absorbed quickly into the bloodstream and support a range of functions and process that are essential to optimal wellness, including healthy immune function, bone density, hormonal function, hair, nervous system function, skin, immune function, muscle development and enzyme function.

The Ingredients

Muscle Building

Amino acids are often associated with enhanced muscle development thanks to their role in protein formation. The amino acids that have displayed the strongest support of muscle building include histidine, threonine, lysine, valine, methionine, leucine, phenylalanine and isoleucine.

Immune Function

Some of the amino acids in this nutraceutical product have also been selected for their ability to promote healthy immune function. These amino acids include glutamine, taurine, valine, alanine, isoleucine and arginine.

Cognitive and Nervous System Function

The amino acids in Amino Ultra have also been expertly selected for their ability to promote optimal cognitive and nervous system function. More specifically, Phenylalanine and tyrosine have long been recognized for supporting healthy neurotransmitter function.

Essential Amino Acids

To further enhance the body’s amino acid profile, Amino Ultra also contains eight essential amino acids that cannot be found naturally in the body: leucine, phenylalanine, histidine, lysine, isoleucine, valine, methionine and threonine.

The Science

The human body relies on a wide range of natural chemical compounds and other nutrients to assist in the performance and regulation of the various functions and processes that are necessary to function at an optimal level. Nature provides a wealth of these supportive nutrients to promote optimal whole body health, including vitamins, minerals and organic chemical compounds. Amino acids, the most well-known example of these organic chemical compounds, are required by the body in order to form the various proteins that are often referred to as the building blocks of life. Some of these amino acids are produced naturally by the body and classified as non-essential amino acids. Unfortunately, there are other supportive amino acids that do not exist naturally in the body and must be ingested first. These essential amino acids have been recognized for supporting optimal whole body health through a variety of avenues, which is why the nutraceutical industry has developed products to deliver readily bioavailable amino acids to the body so that they can be quickly absorbed into the bloodstream and utilized for their supportive traits.

The heavy influence that amino acids can have on whole body health can be traced to their role in protein formation. Without these building blocks of life, the body would struggle to function properly on a daily basis. Through this relationship, amino acids have been recognized for their ability to support a range of processes and functions that include healthy:

Bone density
Immune function
Formation and maintenance of lean muscles
Metabolic function
Tissue growth and repair
Hormonal function
Hair, nails and skin
Neurotransmitter and cognitive function

Nine amino acids have been classified as essential due to the fact that they do not occur naturally in the body and must first be introduced through food sources or nutraceutical products. These essential amino acids must be absorbed before they can be utilized for their supportive traits:

Phenylalanine
Leucine
Tryptophan
Valine
Lysine
Threonine
Histidine
Methionine
Isoleucine

Fortunately, there are a variety of non-essential amino acids that can occur naturally in the body. Delivering these amino acids to the body via food sources or nutraceutical products can still help reduce the risk of deficiencies and ensure that they are being utilized efficiently throughout the entire body:

Glutamine
Aspartate
Serine
Cysteine
Proline
Alanine
Tyrosine
Glycine
Arginine
Glutamate

Unfortunately, being such critical components of so many different functions and processes means that a deficiency of any amino acid could lead to negative symptoms and health conditions. Threonine is needed by the body for the formation of connective tissue like collagen and elastin. Other amino acids, such as phenylalanine and tryptophan, provide the body with critical assistance in neurotransmitter production. The body requires neurotransmitters for healthy mood regulation as well as proper cognitive and nervous system function. Another sizable group of amino acids have been recognized for their ability to support proper immune function, including alanine, taurine, arginine, glutamine, valine and isoleucine. Supplying the body with adequate levels of specific amino acids has the potential to support optimal whole body health.

After obtaining amino acids, the body still needs to digest them before they can be absorbed into the bloodstream and transported throughout the body to be properly utilized. Amino acids often exist in long chains that need to be broken down before absorption is possible. This process can also be complicated by poor gastrointestinal (GI) function, which can increase the risk of amino acids not being digested properly. In these cases, the body might not get to utilize the amino acids at all.

To navigate around these potential roadblocks, the nutraceutical industry has spent years developing professional grade products like Amino Ultra that contain free-form amino acids. These L-shaped amino acids have been separated from one another, breaking down the long chains that the body does not always digest or absorb effectively. The 21 free form amino acids packed into Amino Ultra have been expertly selected for their contributions to optimal whole body health. They have also been designed to be absorbed quickly into the bloodstream, even without the adequate presence of digestive enzymes. With its potent combination of free form amino acids, Amino Ultra could support a variety of processes and functions that contribute to optimal wellness, including healthy skin, cognitive function, mood regulation, hair, lean muscle development, metabolic function, bone density, immune function, neurotransmitter function and both the formation and development of tissue.
