Amino All by Nutri-West

Supportive Function:
Amino-All is made from Bovine Hyaline, Elasti and Fibrocartilage. It contains naturally occurring Chondroitin Sulfate. A comprehensive line up of amino acids from natural hydrolyzed protein provides the building blocks for many of the bodyAEs essential tissues, such as enzymes, hormones, antibodies, blood clotting factors, and muscle. Some may choose this supplement to increase the protein to carbohydrate ratio in a meal, aiding in achievement of a healthy blood sugar zone. Protein elicits glucagon secretion (the opposing hormone to insulin), which functions in times of low blood sugar to contribute to sugar homeostasis.

Ingredients:
Natural Hydrolyzed Protein Amino Acids Each Tablet Supplies: 1000mg of Natural Hydrolyzed Protein which serves as a source of individual Amino Acids. This protein contains a minimum Nitrogen content of 16% and a minimum Protein content of 92-97%. Only bovine tissue sources are used. All of the Amino Acids in this preparation are of natural Levorotatory (L) form. Each 6 Tablets Typically Supply: Isoleucine 66mg, Leucine 174mg, Lysine 216mg, Methionine 30mg, Phenylalanine 126mg, Threonine 120mg, Valine 168mg, Arginine 468mg, Histidine 36mg, Alanine 546mg, Tyrosine 24mg, Serine 198mg, Aspartic Acid 336mg, Glutamic Acid 582mg, Glycine 1362mg, Hydroxylysine 60mg, Hydroxyproline 654mg, Proline 834mg.

Vegetarian: No

Quantity: 120 Tablets

Suggested Dosage: 1-2 tablets 3 times daily

Contraindications:
People taking MAO inhibiting drugs have to avoid tyramine-containing foods and have to be careful with protein supplements. Do not take in PKU (contains phenylalanine). People taking MAO-inhibitors should not supplement with tyrosine.

Diabetes can be a debilitating disease. In both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, blood sugar levels rise dangerously high. Tissue damage can occur when sugar molecules bind to proteins in a glycation/oxidation process (called 'AGES'). This is a major pathway of vascular and neuronal damage in diabetes. In Type 1, the diabetic doesn't produce insulin, whereas in Type 2, they usually produce it, but have lost sensitivity to it. Lowering blood sugar, and preventing this glycation/oxidation reaction, is an important goal of the diabetic. Proper diet and exercise have been proven to be helpful for diabetes.

Nutritional formulas, in the way of vitamins, minerals, and herbs, can be utilized to help support this condition. One of the most promising support ingredients to appear in a long time is benfotiamine. Benfotiamine is a new, highly soluble a derivative of thiamine (vitamin B-1) with higher bioavailability. It has been proposed that, 'The ability of benfotiamine to inhibit three major pathways simultaneously might be clinically useful in preventing the development and progression of diabetic complications.'
