SUPPLEMENT FACTS:

L-GLUTAMIC ACID -
Glutamic acid, a non essential amino acid and is synthesized from a number of amino acids including ornithine and arginine. It is an important excitatory neurotransmitter, and glutamic acid is also important in the metabolism of sugars and fats.

Glutamic acid is a major precursor of glutamine, proline, ornothine, arginine, glutathione, and GABA. It is a potential source of energy. Glutamic acid is important in brain metabolism and metabolism of other amino acids. It helps to stimulate and supports the immune system.

Molecular Weight - 147.13
Occurence - 6.26%


FOOD SOURCES:
Glutamic acid is a nonessential amino acid, which means that it is manufactured from other amino acids in the liver; it does not have to be obtained directly through the diet.


GLYCINE -
is an important part of GTF. The prostate gland produces fluid that contains glycine and researchers think that it may have a positive influence on normal prostate function. Glycine is required to build protein in the body and synthesis of nucleic acids, the construction of RNA, DNA, bile acids and other amino acids in the body.

Glycine aids in the manufacture of other amino acids and is a part of the structure of hemoglobin and cytochromes (enzymes involved in energy production). Research on human beings indicates that glycine enhances the secretion of acid in the stomach. Glycine has a calming effect and is sometimes used to treat manic depressive and aggressive individuals. Glycine produces glucagon, which mobilizes glycogen. It also inhibit sugar cravings.

Formulation of collagen, and found in skin and connective tissues and is also biochemical constituent of the tripeptide glutathione.

GLYCINE DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS
Few people are glycine deficient, in part because the body makes its own supply of the non-essential amino acids, and because it is abundant in food sources.

FOOD SOURCES
Glycine is a nonessential amino acid, which means that it is manufactured from other amino acids in the liver; it does not have to be obtained directly through the diet,.


L-CYSTEINE -
Cysteine is formed from l-methionine in the liver and is a precursor to glutathione. Cysteine is an unstable nutrient and easily converts to cystine, but this does not cause a problem, since both can convert into the other - as required by the body. Cysteine detoxifies harmful chemicals in combination with L-aspartic acid and L-citruline. Cysteine helps prevent damage from alcohol and tobacco use. It stimulates white blood cell activity.

Important in the formation and renewal of the skin. It also aids in the production of collagen and is key for maintenance of the skin's texture and elasticity.

CYSTEINE FOOD SOURCES
Eggs, meat, dairy products, and whole grains are high in Cysteine and Cystine. A good way to keep your cysteine level high is to eat foods that contain cysteine or methionine, the essential amino acid your body needs to make cysteine.

CYSTEINE DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS
In chronic diseases it appears that the formation of cysteine from methionine is prevented, resulting in a deficiency.



N-ACETYL CYSTEINE (N-A-C)
is the most popular modified form of cysteine to be included for use in dietary supplements. In conjunction with L-cysteine, NAC has been recognized in the metabolization of various biochemicals in the body. These include; biotin, coenzyme A, heparin, lipoid acid, and perhaps of greatest importance, the antioxidant glutathione.

Cysteine may be considered conditionally essential in preterm infants. Healthcare providers often recommend a complete amino acid supplement, containing adequate amounts of cysteine, to be administered to these newborns.

N-A-C FOOD SOURCES
A food table for cysteine has been omitted due to its abundance in nearly all protein sources. It is also readily converted from other organic compounds in times of inadequate diet and/or stress. Cysteine is found in a variety of protein sources including; ricotta, cottage cheese, yogurt, pork, meats, poultry, wheat germ, granola, and oat flakes. The average diet consumes approximately 1 gram of L-cysteine per day.

It is also recommended that adequate levels of selenium, Vitamin E, and B-vitamin compounds be consumed in addition of cysteine, as these nutrients provide for its synthesis within the body.
