Stress and other modern-day exciters, such as TV, video games, riding in a car, the internet, etc., cause the brain to deplete the building blocks of bran function (amino acids) much faster than our recent ancestors' slower paced lives. If these are not replaced somehow, the brain in running on empty, causing a host of modern-day ailments such as ADD/ADHD, Stress, Depression, Substance Abuse, etc. Our modern-day diet and commercial food supply no longer supply sufficient nutrition of this type.

Research has shown that white blood cells can release too much of the enzyme collagenase when battling the germs in the mouth. Collagenase is a very destructive enzyme that breaks down collagen in the gums and bone supporting the teeth. Lysine has been shown to inhibit this enzyme, protecting teeth naturally. PerioPaste® contains Xylitol, a natural sweetener, which has been shown in many studies to flush away bacteria responsible for tooth decay. See similar questions...

Chelates are organic chemicals added to metal nutrients like iron, zinc, manganese, magnesium and copper to keep them from being "tied up" in the soil. Chelating agents lengthen the time these essential nutrients remain available to the plant. See similar questions...

MAP is a patented, 100% natural dietary supplement that provides a unique pattern of essential amino acids, in a highly purified, free, crystalline form. MAP is recommended as a dietary supplement in conjunction with the required amounts of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, essential fatty acids (EFA), and energy sources, in the dietary management of those individuals with inadequate protein intake or absorption due to physiological, psychological, or social-economic causes.

Yes! Monarch Nutritional Laboratories manufactures many different types of amino acid chelated minerals, including lysinates, aspartates, etc. We also manufacture a premier line of guaranteed reacted minerals under the CertiPure? mark. Lastly, our Aminomin??? products react minerals with organic acids and protein from rice to form amino acid mineral complexes. See similar questions...

Each flavor of GR2 Meal Replacement Protein Shake has slightly different components. The different flavors vary slightly in their amino acid totals. The following list gives a range of amino acids across flavors. The GR2eat bars are formulated to have a high melting point and should tolerate the heat well. However, all whole-food coatings are sensitive, so we suggest that you store the bars in a cool, dry place, away from heat or direct sunlight. See similar questions...

Minerals may bind with fibers or present in other forms that are not easily absorbed into our body. With MACS, minerals are attached to amino acids to form chelates that are protected from any fibers or changed into undesirable forms. Chelates are easily absorbed into the body where both mineral and amino acids can be utilized. See similar questions...

GoateinTM contains a full spectrum of amino acids, including the 8 "essential" amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of life. The word protein comes from the Latin term proteus, which means of primary importance. For the specific amino acid profile please visit our "Products" page and click on GoateinTM.

These are primary issues in male reproductive health - and L-Carnitine addresses many physiological and metabolic factors that can help enhance fertility. FertilAid for Men contains more L-Carnitine than other fertility supplement brands. See similar questions...

A - Most insurance companies will pay for amino acid testing and other related tests you may need. Insurance companies may not pay for you to have the testing done, but usually will reimburse you afterwards. If your test results are significantly abnormal, you should definitely submit the results to your insurance company. It will be difficult for your insurance company not to reimburse you if your amino acid blood test results are abnormal. See similar questions...

A - Sadly, the answer is, "No" with few exceptions. If you need Tryptophan, your insurance company may reimburse you for that, since Tryptophan has been labeled a "drug" by the FDA, and insurance companies pay for most drugs that are not very expensive. See similar questions...

In order to be absorbed, minerals, whether from foods or in supplements, have to be combined with a "carrier" molecule. When this molecule is a fragment of protein (an amino acid), and the mineral-amino acid compound forms a stable molecule, it is referred to as an amino acid chelate. Because the body is very efficient at absorbing amino acids, chelated minerals are more easily transported across the intestinal wall than are non-chelated minerals. See similar questions...

We have changed from amino acid chelates to organically bound complexes of citrate and gluconate, where applicable, for improved purity, consistency, and bioavailability. Unless otherwise indicated on the label, the amount of minerals remains the same. See similar questions...

A2: Chemically, "L" and "D" are letter symbols used to describe the direction an atom of an amino acid can rotate polarized light due to the chemical structure of the molecule. An "L" or levorotary amino acid bends polarized light to the left. Whereas, a "D" or dextrorotary amino acid bends polarized light to the right. See similar questions...

A - There are doctors and clinics that, after performing amino acid blood testing, will prepare a bottle of amino acid powder for you. The amino acid powder is said to have all of the amino acids you need, prepared in "correct ratios" with one another. There is a very big problem with this approach. Certain amino acids compete with each other in your gastrointestinal tract in the process of getting absorbed into your blood stream. See similar questions...

Everything from your hair down to your toes is made of combinations of amino acids. Your hormones, blood cells, muscles, organs and neurotransmitters in the brain are made of amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of life. There are twenty amino acids that do all of this building and eight of them are referred to as “essential” amino acids. See similar questions...

Similar to Collagen, it is a naturally occurring substance. Babies have an abundance of Hyaluronic Acid in their system, which makes their skin especially plump. The Hyaluronic Acid we administer is synthetically produced. It differs from collagen because the composition is a large molecule that is very hydroscopic, meaning it absorbs water. It is this absorption that provides the results. See similar questions...
