Amino Acids
Taking 1-4 amino acids can be super beneficial for a broad spectrum of results like energy, sleep, mood, detox, repairing the gut or muscles, etc.
Aminos or any nutrients work when they are your weakest links that hold back your system from going to the next level of improvement.
I benefit from 4 Amino Acids.
For me Phenylalaine is a big energy and brain boost for me 2.5 tsp total a day.
I don’t know why because I only test what I need: From a list of 22 aminos I use energetic testing that I explain elsewhere anyone can find.
One thing I need is to drill more energy into my brain to think and write at higher levels.
Phenyl is known to help the nervous system but works in such a broad spectrum that you cannot match it to symptoms.
For many people phenylalanine pairs with tryptophan for serotonin production, too, but I don’t need that.
Threonate pairs well with Phenyl for me, and I am not sure why. It tests well and it works. This is how I save time without having to become an expert in everything when the science could be incomplete anyway. Even complete science does not prescribe to individual cases because symptoms do not always match causes in a clear way. A few root causes can create many symptoms. Two people can have the same symptoms with different causes, or the same causes resulting in different symptoms. This is non linear complexity.
Glutamine is standard for gut and muscle repair.
Glutathione from its scarcest precursor cysteine is also standard for most people as a foundation of detoxification. I get it from food source highest quality whey protein like Vital Whey that has many other nutrients. There is always more detox to do and we are constantly exposed, while aging and stress increase.
Another key detox pathway involves methylation, so sometimes people need methionine, although B12 is more commonly needed.
I have come around slowly to experimenting with isolated supplements after setting a foundation with whole foods that have a broader spectrum of nutrients that work together as cofactors to absorb each other. Since I have this foundation and I am not sick with chronic fatigue like I use to be, I don’t have nutritional deficiencies so I can absorb more specific inputs of anything. When I was first starting out I may have only benefited from small amounts of these aminos or not at all because the systems can only be speeded up from one point of intervention in a limited way.
There are books on aminos like The Mood Cure that people find helpful.
Mood is a good symptom for motivation and to track your progress but aminos and all basic nutrients work in such a broad spectrum of pathways that it is hard to rely totally on matching causes and symptoms. Nevertheless, being able to match causes and symptoms can be useful in problem solving.
Aminos like all nutrients energize chemical and physics reactions to perform all functions of cells and organs. Thus, energy is not a symptom, having more energy, but how all work gets done, including detox with the symptom of lower energy at times. It takes much more energy to remove toxic molecules and repair tissues damaged from toxicity than we had on natural diets, so the natural philosophy needs this qualification.
Vegetarians and vegans can benefit from a broad spectrum of aminos, beyond vegetable based proteins that can be hard to digest. There are non animal sourced aminos but I can’t be an instant shopping consultant.
The right aminos for you can help sleep a lot directly or indirectly. All nutrients can help sleep because your body does not want to sleep when it does not have the nutrients it needs to repair as the whole point of sleep. So that is just one set of root causes of insomnia. I have a two part series on that posted recently.
