Alanine
Alanine, an amino acid is the most widely used in protein construction. It is an important source of energy for the muscles, the brain and the central nervous system. It helps in the metabolism of sugars and organic acids. It also strengthens the immune system by producing antibodies.

Glutamic Acid
Glutamic Acid is a non-essential amino acid (can be manufactured by the body with proper nutrition). It is a neurotransmitter that increases the firing of neurons in central nervous system. This amino acid is important in the metabolism of sugars and fats, and aids in transportation of potassium across blood brain barrier.

Histidine
Histidine is called a semi-essential amino acid (protein building block) because adults generally produce adequate amounts but children may not. Histidine is also a precursor of histamine, a compound released by immune system cells during an allergic reaction.

L-Lysine
lysine is an amino acids whose pharmacological use is much more specific than that of most other amino acids. So far, supplementation of L-lysine is one of the best options available for the treatment of herpes simplex virus infections, especially in oral forms. L-lysine is also much cheaper than antiviral drugs such as Acyclovir .

Methionine
Methionine is one of the essential amino acids (building blocks of protein) that aids in the normal metabolism and growth of the body. This compound assists in the breakdown of fats, thus helping to prevent a buildup of fat in the liver and arteries that might obstruct blood flow to the brain, heart and kidneys.

Phenylalanine
Phenylalanine occurs in two chemical forms: L-phenylalanine, a natural amino acid found in proteins; and its mirror image, D-phenylalanine, a form synthesized in a laboratory. In the body, phenylalanine is converted into another amino acid called tyrosine.

Cysteine
Cysteine is a high sulphur containing amino acid synthesized by the liver. It is an important precursor to Glutathione, one of the body's most effective antioxidants. Cysteine is only incorporated into proteins at the rate of 2.

Glutamine:
Glutamine is an important nitrogen-carrying amino acid that may be conditionally essential in certain conditions to support the gut barrier, immune function and overall protein use. It is the most abundant free-form amino acid found in muscle tissue.
