Here is another study that is touting the benefits of a diet that boosts your intercellular glutathione.
This is just more on how boosting glutathione can help with over 69 different conditions or diseases.
The 2009 article, Amino acids: Metabolism, Functions, and Nutrition. says that amino acids have…”important functions in both nutrition and health.”
cell signaling molecules
regulators of gene expression
are key precursors for syntheses of hormones
are precursors of low-molecular weight nitrogenous substances
Elevated levels of the by products of these (ammonia, homocysteine, and asymmetric dimethylarginine) are pathogenic factors for neurological disorders and cardiovascular disease).
There is growing recognition that some amino acids are necessary for maintenance, growth, reproduction, and immunity.
Dietary supplementation with one or a mixture of these AA may be beneficial for preventing or treating health problems related to fetal growth restriction, neonatal morbidity and mortality, weaning-associated intestinal dysfunction and wasting syndrome, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, the metabolic syndrome, and infertility.
They also optimize the efficiency of muscle growth, milk production, egg and meat quality and athletic performance. They help preventing excess fat production.
