Aids the immune system and produces T cells, and is essential for the thymus. Aids normal growth and tissue repair. Speeds healing. Helps carbohydrate absorption.
|
LYSINE:
Important in fat metabolism. Helps form antibodies to fight disease. Vital in the makeup of critical body proteins. Needed for growth, tissue repair and production of hormones and enzymes. Assists in Gastric functions and appetite control. Utilises fatty acids needed for energy.
|
METHIONINE:
Helps with the synergistic reaction between various molecules. Antioxidant: which helps prevent Free Radical damage to tissue, which is assisted by vitamin B6. Helps produce choline, adrenaline, lecithin and vitamin B12. Helps gallbladder function. One of the bodies most powerful detoxifying agents, helping remove heavy metals such as lead from the body. Helps eliminate excessive levels of histamine. Strengthens hair follicles, and thin skin. Detoxifies the liver, preventing build up of excess fats. Helps relieve arthritic and rheumatic symptoms.
