1
it's an amino acid that is used to make proteins. It is used to break down tryptophan and vitamin B-6. It is a source of energy for muscles and the central nervous system. It strengthens the immune system and helps the body use sugars.
2
it has many roles such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cryoprotective, and immunomodulatory in peripheral and nervous tissues.
3
help control blood sugar. It also boosts energy and endurance. It's also said to help speed healing of injured muscles. Isoleucine may also help muscle development and lean body mass.
4
helps in healing skin and bones. It may increase muscle growth and lean body mass. It may increase production of human growth hormone (HGH). It may help control blood sugar.
5
The body uses _______ to make proteins, such as collagen. Collagen is found in the skin, bones, and joints. _______ is also involved in the general function of cells.
6
It promotes muscle growth and tissue repair. It is a precursor in the penicillin biosynthetic pathway.
7
The body uses ___________ to produce the neurotransmitter norepinephrine. This neurotransmitter has many important functions, including: helping signals travel between the brain and the body's nerve cells. maintaining an awake or alert state
8
The body uses ______ to help make melatonin and serotonin. Melatonin helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle, and serotonin is thought to help regulate appetite, sleep, mood, and pain.
9
It is an essential component for the production of several important brain chemicals called neurotransmitters, including epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine. ________ also helps produce melanin, the pigment responsible for hair and skin color.
10
helps make other amino acids and some nucleotides. ____________ also plays a role in energy production in the body. It also helps send chemical signals through the nervous system.
11
is an amino acid used to form proteins. In the body it turns into glutamate. This is a chemical that helps nerve cells in the brain send and receive information from other cells. It may be involved in learning and memory.
12
It is necessary for making proteins and is commonly used for circulation. L-___ is converted in the body into a chemical called nitric oxide. Nitric oxide causes blood vessels to open wider for improved blood flow.
13
is an amino acid most people get from food. It's used in growth, repair of damaged tissues, and making blood cells. It helps protect nerve cells. It's used by the body to make histamine.
