What are Amino Acids?

The human body is approximately 20% protein and the basic building block of protein is amino acids. When we eat protein it is digested into amino acids in the same way that carbohydrates become simple sugars and fats become fatty acids. Because amino acids contain nitrogen they can form tissues such as organs, muscles, skin and hair.

Amino acids enable enzymes and neurotransmitters so they regulate almost every metabolic process in the body.

Which Amino Acids Are Used Where?

Get Your Boom! Back supplements contain ALL 23 amino acids in the ideal, natural proportions of genuine YTE®. We include the right dose of YTE® in the GYBB Amino Formulas, AminoBoosters, AminoB12, and AminoPure+, as used in clinical trials.

What Types Of Amino Acids do you need?

There are over 200 different amino acids of which 23 are really important amino acids essential for good human health.

Proteinogenic amino acids are broken into two groups - essential and non-essential amino acids.

What is the difference between essential and non-essential amino acids?

Essential amino acids are not produced by the body and must be consumed in the food we eat.

Non essential amino acids can be produced inside the body but this production process can be restricted by our environment such as the pollution caused by burning fossil-fuels, the hormones fed to cattle, the intensive use of fertilisers in agriculture, and habits such as smoking and drinking, all of which can prevent our bodies from fully using what we eat.

Worse still is the amount of nutrition that is lost from our food through processing before we actually get to eat it...

By providing the body with optimal nutrition, amino acids help to replace what is lost and, in doing so, promote well-being and vitality.(1)

In the human genome, proteinogenic amino acids build proteins. The 8 essential amino acids are isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine. 

The 12 non essential amino acids are alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamine, glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, proline, serine and tyrosine.

The full list of the 23 amino acids is:

1. Alanine 
2. Arginine 
3. Asparagine 
4. Aspartic acid 
5. Cysteine 
6. Cystine 
7. Glutamine 
8. Glutamic acid 
9. Glycine 
10. Histidine 
11. Hydroxyproline

12. Isoleucine - Essential 
13. Leucine - Essential 
14. Lysine - Essential 
15. Methionine - Essential 
16. Phenylalanine - Essential 
17. Proline 
18. Serine 
19. Threonine - Essential 
20. Tryptophan - Essential 
21. Tyrosine 
22. Valine - Essential

23. Ornithine

The 23rd amino acid is called Ornithine which is also contained in YTE® and therefore in all of our products.

Ornithine is a fascinating amino acid, claimed to be the most potent amino acid for stimulating the production and release of Human Growth Hormone from the pituitary gland.

HGH is a powerful rejuvenator - its use has the potential to reverse ageing by up to 10 to 20 years. Studies of Ornithine have shown the ability to regenerate the thymus gland, liver, heart tissue, enhance muscle growth and increase immune system function.

Ornithine has an anti-fatigue effect by increasing the efficiency of energy consumption and promoting the excretion of ammonia. This amino acid is not rich in meats or fish, so it is difficult to obtain from ordinary meals that would be enough to promote the anti-fatigue effect.

Some doctors recommend ornithine intake as a nutritional supplement in cases of physical fatigue. (18)  Ornithine is one of the important amino acids within YTE®. YTE® has all the amino acids in perfect natural balance.

Your kidneys convert ornithine into arginine, another amino acid that benefits your body in several ways. Arginine is a precursor for a compound called nitric oxide, which helps dilate your blood vessels when you require extra blood to your tissues. Arginine also helps your muscle cells produce creatine, a compound they need to contract.

Research suggests consuming extra ornithine can help promote physical strength and endurance. A study published in the November 2008 issue of "Nutrition Research" found healthy subjects who took extra ornithine experienced less exercise-induced fatigue than a placebo group. The authors concluded ornithine promotes more efficient energy usage by cells and they recommend it as a nutritional supplement to prevent fatigue.
