Aporthas Multi Essential Amino Pattern contains 8 essential amino acids available in their free, crystalline form: L-leucine, L-valine, L-isoleucine, L-phenylalanine, L-lysine, L-threonine, L-methionine and L-tryptophan. Amino acids - the building blocks of life Because amino acids are found in almost every tissue in the body, they are also called the building blocks of life. Scientists have identified a total of over 250 amino acids, of which 20 are important for the synthesis of human proteins. From these 20 amino acids, the human body can form over 5,000 different proteins, which are necessary for the construction of muscle cells, collagen, connective tissue, organ cells and skin, but also for the formation of hormones, blood cells and cells of the immune system. Of the 20 protein amino acids, twelve are nonessential and eight are essential. The body cannot make the latter, so they must be absorbed from food or supplements. Multiessential Amino Pattern is ideal for: improving and supplementing the daily diet those who work hard physically people with insufficient amino acid intake, such as vegetarians and vegans people with low intake and use of dietary proteins people with lactose intolerance athletes participants in metabolic therapies those who suffer from chronic stress elderly, pregnant women, nursing mothers, growing children The free and crystalline amino acids contained in Multi Essential Amino Pattern are naturally produced through bio-fermentation and are suitable for a vegan diet. They are allergen-free.
