Amino Acids
Amino acids are molecules that are combined to form proteins. Amino and proteins are building blocks of life and compounds that play many critical roles in your body. When proteins are digested or broken down, amino acids are left. Our bodies use amino acids to make proteins to help the body break down food, grow, repair body tissue and perform many other body functions.
Amino acids cannot be produced by the body. They must come from food. Eating a well-balanced diet ensures that you will get all of the essential amino acids since the body needs them but cannot produce them. Royal Jelly proteins contain most of amino acids of which eight are indispensable or essential, valine, leucine, isoleucine, threonine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan and lysine. Each of these amino acids contributes to the multiple benefits of Royal Jelly by combining and reconstructing new, healthy, cell regeneration. This benefits our health and wellness, and for many is key to maintaining energy, vitality and balance.
Amino acids consumed in excess of the amounts needed for the synthesis of nitrogenous tissue constituents are not stored but are degraded. The nitrogen is excreted as urea, and the keto acids left after removal of the amino groups are either utilised directly as sources of energy or are converted to carbohydrate or fat.
