AMIZATE® has a high degree of free amino acids, which individually have important functions. In particular, AMIZATE® will give a boost to mood and brain function, which can give a renewed feeling of wellness and alertness.

Specific functions of amino acids

  • Alanine: cholesterol reducing effect, enhances immune system
  • Asparagine: required by the nervous system
  • Aspartic acid: needed for stamina, brain and neural health
  • Branched chain amino acids (valine, leucine, isoleucine): help to maintain muscle tissue, reduce muscle loss
  • Cysteine: important in collagen production (skin protein) and detoxification of the body
  • Cystine: needed in healing of burns and wounds; anti-aging effect
  • Glutamic acid: important neurotransmitter; important in metabolism of sugars and fats; used as fuel to the brain
  • Glutamine: important for the immune function; in removing ammonia from the brain; used in treatment of wasting muscles after surgery
  • Glycine: helps in absorption of calcium in the body; key role in manufacturing of hormone and in health of the immune system; helps to prevent epileptic seizures
  • Histidine: used to produce the neurotransmitter histamine; needed for growth and repair of tissue; helps in protection of nerve cells; required for the manufacture of both red and white blood cells
  • Isoleucine: promotes muscle recovery; needed for the formation of hemoglobin
  • Leucine: promotes muscle recovery; helps regulation of blood sugar levels; growth and repair of muscle tissue; hormone production; wound healing
  • Lysine: helps production of muscle protein; needed in recovery from injury and after operations
  • Methionine: used to treat depression, arthritis pain and chronic liver disease
  • Phenylalanine: used to elevate mood; helps memory and learning; appetite suppressant
  • Proline: improves skin texture; skin protein (collagen) contains 15% proline; important for muscles, joints and tendons
  • Serine: required in fat metabolism, tissue growth and for the immune system (production of immunoglobulins and antibodies); important in the formation of cell membranes
  • Threonine: found in high concentration in the heart, skeletal muscles and central nervous system; used in treatment of mental health; helps maintaining proper protein balance in the body
  • Tryptophan: needed to maintain optimum health; a natural relaxant, alleviates insomnia; helps in the treatment of migraine headaches
  • Tyrosine: precursor of important neurotransmitters (epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine); used for stress reduction; suppresses appetite and reduces body fat
  • Valine: found in high concentration in the muscles; required in muscle metabolism; needed for repair and growth of tissue; used as energy source for muscles
