Glutathione is the most powerful antioxidant in the body and works around the clock to fend off nefarious characters. Glutathione, known as gamma-glutamylcysteinylglycine or GSH is a tri-peptide or a small protein molecule formed inside the body from three amino acids, Cysteine, Glycine and (Gamma) Glutamic acid. In addition, some foods, particularly asparagus, spinach, avocado […]
Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid, made by our bodies and found circulating in the blood as well as being stored in the skeletal muscles. Normally, the body generates plenty of its own glutamine stores; therefore it is considered to be a “non-essential” amino acid. Glutamine becomes ‘conditionally’ essential , when the body is suffering
It is one among the proteinogenic amino acids. It is an important neurotransmitter and helps in improving learning power and memory. Health Benefits
Cysteine is a derived amino acid formed from the oxidative linkage of a pair of Cysteine molecules by di-sulfide bond. It is only one, beside methionine, that contains sulfur. Biological Functions Health Benefits
Arginine is a semi essential or conditionally essential amino acid, depending on the developmental stage and health status of the individual. The conditions that put an increased demand on the body for the synthesis of L-Arginine, include surgical or other trauma, sepsis, burns and there is an increased demand in pre term infants also. There
Alanine is a nonessential amino acid with a key role in the glucose-alanine cycle between muscle tissue and the liver. The degraded amino acids from the muscle and other tissues , are transported to liver as Alanine and α-ketoglutarate. In the liver the reaction is reversed and glucose is formed and reaches other tissues through
Asparagus, spinach, avocado and squash, are high in a plant version of glutathione that the body converts to replenish its supply. Biological Benefits GSH is a triple threat to toxins as it neutralizes free radicals, enhances the immune system and detoxifies the liver , minimizing the risk of chronic disease and promoting longevity. As an
Glucosamine is an amino monosaccharide found primarily in cartilage and plays an important role in maintaining cartilage health and function. It is a prominent precursor in the biochemical synthesis of glycosylated proteins and lipids. Action of Glucosamine Salts Joints are cushioned by the fluid and cartilage that surround them. when the cartilage breaks down or
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a redox component of mitochondria, helping in energy generation and in activating immune system. Co enzyme Q 10 is an oil soluble vitamin like substance present in most eukaryotic cells, primarily in the mitochondria, and helps convert food into energy. It is also known as ubiquinone. It is a part of
Astaxanthin is a blood-red plant pigment that belongs to the same carotenoid family as beta-carotene, lycopene, and lutein. , and is is not converted to Vitamin A(retinol), in the human body, like other carotenoids do. Health Benefits It has a unique anti oxidant property and protects body tissues from oxidative and ultraviolet damage through its
