While the typical American diet should provide all the essential amino acids, impaired digestion, poor gut flora, and environmental factors may greatly increase the need for a high quality amino acid supplement. Acute stress can also result in both increased demand and accelerated protein breakdown. It is exactly for these reasons My AminoPlex™ was formulated.

Ideally, sufficient dietary intake of amino acids, in the correct ratio's, in the presence of sufficient vitamins and minerals, without any disease processes will result in enough protein for optimal health. This is a rare occurrence in modern society. My AminoPlex™ contains all of the essential amino acids in a carefully balanced array.

A common misconception is that all we need is the essential amino acids and the body will naturally produce all of the rest on its own. This may be true with a healthy person in a healthy environment but again, this is not all that common. Arginine, Taurine, Alpha Keto Glutarate, Glutamine, and Glycine are 5 "non-essential" amino acids added to My AminoPlex™ that extensive research has determined are important additions.

Another issue important in the proper metabolism and utilization of amino acids is the co-factors which help the body manufacture not only other amino acids, but hormones, neurotransmitters, muscle, DNA and RNA. These nutrients include Magnesium, B6 (in the form of Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate), Folic Acid and Zinc, all of which are found in My AminoPlex™ in balanced amounts.

Amino acids and probiotics suggested for certain developmental and autistic disorders

Just recently, amino acids and probiotics have been attached to the discussing about the treatment of autistic children. This development is a complete turn around from the earlier belief that autism is mainly a mental disorder. According to a number of claims and scientific studies, autism is a disease that may be caused by a number of environmental factors, most of them are acquired by children through their environment.

Although the aim of these studies are difficult, they all point that out that as a result, the body of an autistic child lacks certain substances and organism that people without the disease have. Whether the lack of these substances is a cause of the effect of autism is still being discussed, although what remains true is that autistic children appear to suffer from deficiencies due to insufficient amounts of specific amino acids and probiotics in their bodies, a condition that obviously hinders their development and quality of life.

Testimonials

"My AminoPlex is the first great tasting, easy to mix amino acid that I found. Patient's love it! One of my six-year old ADHD patient's asks for it daily. He calls it his "brain food." His mom says it helps him stay focused at school and at home. As a weight loss/liver detox aid, I found it extremely valuable for many of my patients. They add it to their water bottle and sip it through the day. I am grateful for its development."

"While virtually all of my clients who have used My AminoPlex have made significant progress, some have made truly astounding improvement. The results observed in chronic illness cases have far surpassed my expectations. Additionally, ease of using My AminoPlex lends itself well to client compliance.
