• Promotes weight loss by decreasing body fats and increasing muscle mass 
• It comes from the breakdown of DNA
• Energy source for muscular and central nervous system
• Enhances body immune system by producing antibodies
• Regulates normal blood glucose level
• Essential in protein production
• Plays an important role in proper functioning of the central nervous system 
• Involves in nitrogen transport
• Acts as an amino donor in liver transamination process
• Essential in the synthesis of glycoproteins and other proteins
• Maintains nervous system equilibrium
• Relieves anxiety, stress and depression
• Prevents fatigue
• Essential in the formation of arginine from citrulline and threonine and lysine synthesis
• Strengthens body’s immune system by producing antibodies and immunoglobulins
• Protects the body from radiation and liver drug toxicity
• Increases body stamina and endurance
• Removes excess ammonia in the body
• Synergistically works with Vitamin E and selenium
• Increases the glutathione level in the body
• Anti-cancer activity
• Cardiovascular protection
• Regulates blood sugar level
• Liver protection
• Eye protection; prevents cataract formation
• Anti-inflammatory activity. Relieves symptoms of arthritis
• Aids in breaking down respiratory mucus and detoxify harmful substances in the body in N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) form
• Protects the stomach and intestines from the damaging effects of aspirin and other NSAIDs
• Anti-aging effects. It enhances collagen formation, good skin elasticity, and reduces age-spots
• Enhances proper wound healing
• Most abundant amino acid in the body. 61% is found in the skeletal muscle tissue
• Converted to glucose and serves as an energy source to our body
• Precursor of glutamic acid in the brain
• Promotes normal brain functions
• Increases the level of gamma-aminobutyric acid or GABA which is essential for normal brain and mental functions
• Known as a “superb brain fuel” and a “smart vitamin”
• Basis for the DNA and RNA synthesis
• Used in muscle proteins synthesis
• Maintains the normal pH (acidity and alkalinity) of the body
• Reduces ulcers healing time
• Relieves depression and fatigue
• Relieves depression and fatigue
• Acts as an appetite suppressant
• Helps in treating impotence
• Component of folic acid
• Precursor of glutamine and glutathione (very potent antioxidant)
• A neurotransmitter involved in the potassium transport across the blood-brain barrier
• Known as the “brain fuel” or “brain food”
• Removes excess ammonia in the body
• Helps in improving neurological conditions such as alcoholism, dementia, depression, epilepsy, fatigue, mental retardation, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson’s disease and Schizophrenia
• Essential in sugar and fats metabolism
• Provides cardiovascular protection
• Anti-inflammatory effects
• Maintains prostate normal functions
• Treats impotence
• Treats tissue damages from post cancer radiation therapy
• Essential in the synthesis of proteins, peptides, purines, nucleic acids (DNA/RNA), bile acids, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), glutathione (antioxidant), glucose, glycogen, and other amino acids
• Normalizes blood sugar level
• Detoxify the liver
• Helps in calcium absorption in the body
• Prevents muscle degeneration and treats progressive muscular dystrophy due to additional creatine supply
• Acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter and helps in preventing seizure or epileptic episodes
• Relieves manic depression and hyperactivity disorders
• Can be found in prostate fluid with protective effects
• Essential in molecular recognition, intracellular signaling, collagen formation and proper functioning of joints and tendons
• Essential in energy production
• Cardiovascular protection thru prevention of atherosclerotic plaque formation
• Precursor for hydroxyproline, a major component of collagen, tendons, cartilage, ligaments and heart muscle
• Essential in tissue repair and wound healing processes
• Promotes healthy skin, reduces skin sagging and wrinkling
• Component of cell membrane
• Essential in the synthesis of creatine, cystein, glycine, porphyrins, purines, pyrimidines and tryptophan
• Boosts the body’s immune system by producing immunoglobulins and antibodies
• Important in the normal brain functioning
• Precursor of dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine (adrenal hormones)
• Improves brain conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, Parkinson’s disease and Chronic fatigue syndrome
• Regulates moods and relieves stress and depression
• Stimulates thyroid hormone (thyroxine) production. Thyroxine increases basal metabolic rates. Excessive secretion of thyroxine can lead to hyperthydoidism. Inadequate secretion of this hormone can lead to hypothyroidism
• Relieves premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and menopausal symptoms such as mood swings, headache and fatigue
• Stimulates catecholamines release that aids in fat burning process
