Amino 2000: Super Whey Formula
Many of our competitors sell only protein (not enzymatically digested)
tablets, disguised as aminos. A quick test is to bite into the tablet, if it
bland, it is more likely to be just a protein tab. A true enzymatically digested
tablet such as Ultimate Nutrition's Super Whey Amino 2000 is bitter to taste.
All life depends on proteins. Proteins carry out all biological functions in
living organisms including humans. Proteins are made of amino acids, which are
their basic building blocks. Essentially, amino acids are strung like beads in
long chains in proteins. In the body, proteins are made from individual amino
acids. Therefore, nutritional supplementation with amino acids ensures that all
cells, tissues and organs in the body have a ready supply of amino acids.
Ultimate Nutrition's Super Whey Amino 2000 contains all of the most important
amino acids and branched chain amino acids for optimal nutritional support.
These amino acids, of course, provide the body with the support to produce
proteins. Amino acids, however, carry out other important functions. Nutritional
supplementation keeps the amino acid supply in the bloodstream within healthy
range. Under some circumstances, such as stress whether it is due to
high-intensity exercise or other reasons, amino acids in the blood can be
depleted so that important substances in the body cannot be produced in the
right amounts at the right time in the right place. For example, if serotonin
cannot be synthesized in the brain, ordinary stress may be aggravated to
depression. Some amino acids, such as glycine, glutamine and, among others
arginine, combine with and neutralize toxins. This is of paramount importance
for liver health, since detoxification takes place in the liver. People
suffering from abnormal liver function, chronic arthritis, and excessive
chemical exposure usually have poor amino acid profile. Branched chain amino
acids (BCAA), valine, isoleucine and leucine, greatly aid detoxification and
liver function. Hence, supplementation with amino acids is critical for
restoration of appropriate amounts of amino acids, which help foster better
health.
Ultimate Nutrition's Super Whey Amino 2000 also contains sulfur-containing amino
acids methionine and cysteine. These amino acids have been shown to help prolong
life span. Typically, as people age, the amounts of these two amino acids
decreases considerably. Since dietary supplementation with cysteine prolonged
the life span of guinea pigs, a report in the New England Journal of Medicine
suggested that maintaining optimal levels of methionine and cysteine could
potentially promote longevity in humans.
In summary, Ultimate Nutrition's Super Whey Amino is a full-spectrum amino acid
nutritional aid to that help maintain optimal levels of amino acids in the
bloodstream and promote good health at any stage of life.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do All Amino Acids Need To Be taken in The Same Amounts?
No. Different amino acids should be taken in different amounts. This depends
upon the relative natural abundance of each amino acid in the body and amount
required for incorporation in proteins. Ultimate Nutrition's Super Amino 2000
has amino acids in the exact amounts that the body needs for optimal function.
How Well Are Amino Acids Absorbed?
Amino acids are efficiently absorbed and transported into the intestines. True,
there is intense competition among various amino acids for intestinal uptake,
since amino acids use the same transporters to ferry them across the intestinal
wall. If sufficient amounts of the necessary amino acids are available for
absorption, they are taken up in the correct ratios to serve the metabolic needs
of the body.
Do Amino Acids Cross The Blood Brain Barrier?
Yes! Amino acids cross the blood brain barrier using transporters similar to
those employed in intestinal absorption. The brain cells use the same amino
acids as those other tissues of the body. For example, the amino acid tryptophan
is converted to the neurotransmitter serotonin, which controls many different
functions of the brain.
If the Body Produces Peptides, Why Are Amino Acids Necessary?
The body does produce certain peptides, such as di-, tri- and tetra-peptides
(containing two, three and four amino acids, respectively), but they are a
byproduct of the digestive process or the breakdown of food in the body. As
such, these peptides are not available for incorporation into the proteins and,
therefore, do not serve as building blocks.
