Protein and amino acids are among the most common nutritional supplements taken by athletes. Amino acids are the building block of protein. In food, amino acids make up protein. When protein is digested it is broken down into amino acid that are then selectively put together for the synthesis of structural proteins, enzymes, and some hormones.
There are twenty-two amino acids. Eight are essential and fourteen are non-essential. The body does not manufacture the essential acids and does manufacture the non-essential acids. AminoX is a supplement for 3 of those 8 essential amino acids that the body does not manufacture. The 3 amino acids are leucine, isoleucine, and valine which are also known as Branch Chain Amino Acids, BCAAs.
Leucine is responsible for the regulation of blood-sugar levels, the growth and repair of tissues in the skin, bones and skeletal muscles. Isoleucine functions very similar to leucine in most every way. What differs from isoleucine and leucine is that isoleucine aids in the formation of hemoglobin and is strongly involved in the formation of blood clots. Valine help the
