Introduction to Amino Acid Supplementation
See
our full line of Amino Acid Supplements
Amino acid supplementation will provide your body with an essential
foundation for health.
Amino acids are the building blocks of systemic proteins, which are
present in all your body tissues, including skin, nails, hair, blood,
bone and brain cells. Thousands of different systemic proteins are constantly
being manufactured from 20 different amino acids. Your body can manufacture
10 of these amino acids, the other 10 are considered essential, meaning
they must be acquired from your diet.
Many diseases result when systemic protein production is inefficient
or inadequate. But excesses of some amino acids can produce results
as detrimental as deficiencies. Balance in the use of amino acids is
of great importance.
Amino acids must be available in the proper amount and ratio. Our SuperNutrient
formulas contain a perfect balance of free form essential amino
acids (with required catalysts sulfur & molybdenum), allowing your
body to utilize nutrients, heal itself, and maintain health.
By providing your body with adequate nutrition, you'll have proper
nutrient absorption and toxin elimination. This results in a healthy
immune system. The benefit of this is the end of discomforts and disease.
Amino Acid Supplementation is Necessary
Many people cannot utilize their dietary protein, instead it is converted
to sugars for fuel, or to fat for storage. This is due to lack of nutrition,
malabsorption and exposure to toxic metals (silver amalgam dental fillings,
vaccinations, lead paint, and a wide variety of industrial products).
Inhibiting protein breakdown causes inadequate nutrient absorption &
toxin elimination. This wreaks havoc on your immune system, resulting
in pain and many chronic & degenerative diseases.
Amino acids have to be first digested before they can be assimilated.
Amino Acidss are broken down in the stomach by pepsin, which is converted
from pepsinogen by lowering the pH of the stomach with hydrochloric
acid. If the pH of the stomach doesn't lower to around 2.5, the first
stage of protein breakdown fails.
The semi-digested food moves to the small intestine where a pancreatic
enzyme named trypsin, along with other proteases (protein-breaking enzymes)
breaks down the protein further. The above are all the stages of digestion.
The next important phase is assimilation. Intestinal villi (the little
finger-like projections in the small intestine that are responsible
for assimilation) shrink in response to stress. Stressed people don't
assimilate food - of any kind. The only known substance that will rejuvenate
the small intestinal villi is the amino acid L-Glutamine, which turns
into glutamic acid to cross the
blood-brain barrier where it is converted into glutamate (the most stimulatory
neurotransmitter in the brain) and eventually breaks down into GABA
(the most inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain).
Living in our industrialized society presents a large number of potential
problems that inhibit protein digestion, leading to amino acid deficiency:
HCl, proteases, L-Glutamine and others, all of which can slow or stop
digestion and assimilation.

The Function of Amino Acids
Amino acids synthesize enzymes and some hormones, enable muscle contraction,
help digest food, fight infection, repair damaged tissue & DNA,
carry nutrients & oxygen to cells, remove toxins from your liver,
make up most neurotransmitters & hormones, provide integrity to
intestine walls, maintain proper fluid pressure differential in &
outside of cells, regulate all chemical reactions, and are required
for numerous metabolic processes.
Your body forms amino acids when enzymes
break down dietary proteins. The amino acids are then in their simplest
form, ready for the body to use. Most amino acid supplements contain
the branched chain form of amino acids: to be of any use, these must
first be broken down by your digestive system. When dietary protein
is not broken down into single amino acids, it can't be used effectively
and malabsorption occurs.
Amino acids must be available in the proper amount and ratio. Excesses
of some amino acids can produce results as detrimental as deficiencies.
Balance in the use of amino acids is of great importance.
Symptoms of Amino Acid Deficiency
Amino acid deficiency starts with your digestive system: liver clogs
with toxins, wounds heal slowly, blood sugars become unstable, mineral
& vitamin deficiencies occur, hormones become unbalanced, brain
ceases making enough of certain important chemicals leading to mood
disorders, hyperactivity, attention deficit & depression, immune
system proteins become low and this diminishes the work of antioxidants,
leaving your body open to viral and bacterial infections.
Benefits of Amino Acid Supplementation
Better Nutrient Absorption
Provides in free form the perfect balance and amounts of amino acids
that refresh the pancreas digestive enzymes and small intestine glands
to break the dietary protein down into individual amino acids from long
chain proteins. Amino acids formulas that are out of balance may not
work.
Proper Dietary Protein Utilization
You may eat large amounts of protein, but this does not ensure its
digestion and delivery to yourcells. Platinum Plus addresses the primary
protein problem that started some of your deficiencies in the first
place. It increases the free form amino acids a minimum of 2500% in
a diet of only 50 grams of protein.
Activate Your Enzymes
The body then starts to rebuild and refurbish it's 80,000* enzyme systems.
With Platinum Plus it's not necessary to take digestive enzymes, papain,
bromelain etc., most of which are inefficient and/or ineffective. Your
body makes its own.
Decrease Acid Reflux and Stomach Acidity
This formula enables your stomach to manufacture more necessary hydrochloric
acid (HCl), to further increase your protein digestion, and acidify
minerals (calcium, phosphorus, sulfur, etc.) so that they are prepared
for entering your body. This alleviates the most common cause for indigestion,
heartburn and acid reflux.
Carries in Vitamins & Minerals
Increase the protein-complex carrier mechanisms that take vitamins
and minerals to your cells. Millions of people are not feeling the benefits
from the nutrients that they are taking. This is the reason that whole
foods or organic vitamins always work better.
Replenish Your Sulfur
This fourth necessary mineral in your body is deficient in the majority
of persons. It is necessary for the synthesis of hormones (insulin),
proper immune system functioning, healthy hair, skin & nails, and
neurotransmitters.
The expensive carnitine, serine, etc. are readily made from essential
amino acids. Additional sulfur is needed to build this molecule. That's
why we added 200 mg of MSM per capsule.
At the minimum effective 4 capsules a day, Platinum Plus supplies 800
mg of MSM, which together with the sulfur in methionine and cystine,
replenishes the estimated daily loss of 800 mg of sulfur.
Nature's Antioxidant - Glutathione
When you have an abundant supply of essential amino acids, the necessity
for antioxidant supplementation becomes unnecessary. Your body can manufacture
glutathione in abundance when you have a constant supply of essential
amino acids. Cysteine-cystine essential, and glycine and glutamic acid
(non-essentials) readily synthesize glutathione. Nine out of ten persons
may not accomplish this due to low dietary protein utilization. Scavenging
free radicals produced by metabolism, exercise, toxins, and infections
is what your body was designed to do - when it gets the amino acids
that it needs.
Remove Toxic Metals
Yes, you can detoxify yourself from heavy metals. Clinical studies
have shown that Platinum Plus (along with other missing nutrients) quickly
and efficiently removes toxic metals, and taken prophylactically, keeps
them out of your body. Poisonous metals such as Mercury, Aluminium,
Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic, have been shown residing in the body even when
blood, hair, and urine show none. Detoxification is essential in today's
poisoned world.
Clear-Up Bacterial, Virusal and Fungal Infections
Candida albicans, yeast and fungus infections can be cleared up. Observations
made on thousands of patients have shown that protein deficient patients
have many unresolved, sometimes sub-clinical infections. It was observed
that most infections cleared up with Platinum Plus, when taken along
with other missing nutrients (particularly vitamin C complex, which
is rapidly exhausted in these conditions). No pharmaceutical products
were necessary. Research is continuing on the major viruses with extremely
promising results.
Improve Strength of Your Cartilage, Skin, Hair and Nails
Studies using Quantum Testing on thousands of patients demonstrate
that Platinum Plus is capable of volumizing the spinal disks as early
as ten hours after ingestion. The best record in
treating back pain was established by Dr. Vickery, the inventor,
using this amino acids formula. Skin that is wrinkled, hair that is
thin, nails that break, have all responded.
