Re: 2 Questions About Nutrii Veda

[Guest guest]

Hi Debra,

All the amino acids listed on the canister are naturally occurring from whole

food -not added. If carnitine is not listed it's my understanding it's not

there -but will check. The only form of nutrient I believe would be the L form

because again it's all from whole food/naturally occurring.

I again will check on that as well as the following -I don't know if the

following is accurate as I found it listed for whey isolate protein but don't

want to list the source because it didn't look reputable- but it still could be.

It is interesting to note that it is very hard to find any list of amounts of

amino acids in whey isolate protein in general -but again that could be because

it depends on so many variables. So due to the above again don't know if the

amounts of amino acids including all the essential amino acids are for any whey

isolate protein as they vary greatly.

So-in the following which is NOT from anywhere I can find for nutriiveda, this

is just a possibility rather than a probability -will see if I can find out

more. It is possible the answer is that it's hard to know for sure the exact

amount from scoop to scoop as again these are all naturally occurring from the

protein.

Per 2 scoops

Alanine................................563mg

Arginine...............................794mg

Aspartic Acid......................1294mg

Cystine..................................75mg

Glutamine Acid..................3989mg

Glycine................................388mg

Histidine..............................574mg

Isoleucine (BCAA)...............893mg

Leucine (BCAA)................1747mg

Lysine...............................1444mg

Methionine..........................564mg

Phenylalanine.....................957mg

Proline................................1970mg

Serine.................................1188mg

Thereonine.........................807mg

Tryptophan........................225mg

Tyrosine.............................1132mg

Valine (BCAA)...................1069mg

(note Branched chain amino acids (BCAA) are essential amino acids whose carbon

structure is marked by a branch point. The BCAA are valine, isoleucine and

leucine. These three amino acids are critical to human life and are particularly

involved in stress, energy and muscle metabolism)

And also from Wikipedia so please don't use as fact -just a possible truth:

" Estimating the daily requirement for the indispensable amino acids has proven

to be difficult; these numbers have undergone considerable revision over the

last 20 years. The following table lists the WHO recommended daily amounts

currently in use for essential amino acids in adult humans, together with their

standard one-letter abbreviations "

Amino acid(s) mg per kg body weight mg per 70 kg mg per 100 kg

I Isoleucine 20 1400 2000

L Leucine 39 2730 3900

K Lysine 30 2100 3000

M Methionine

+ C Cysteine

10.4 + 4.1 (15 total) 1050 1500

F Phenylalanine

+ Y Tyrosine

25 (total) 1750 2500

T Threonine 15 1050 1500

W Tryptophan 4 280 400

V Valine 26 1820 2600

The recommended daily intakes for children aged three years and older is 10% to

20% higher than adult levels and those for infants can be as much as 150% higher

in the first year of life.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_amino_acid#Recommended_daily_amounts

So according to the above -the younger the child =the more amino acids including

all the essential amino acids are needed. Interesting.

Will let you know when I find out more. Here again is the nutritional

information page which is for whole food source nutriiveda

Thanks ! Yes, if you have any more info. regarding the carnitine content

& proteins, that would be great. I'm glad our dr. is interested and working

with me on this and it will relate it to our lab findings/supplements. Or

maybe you can direct me to who would know at NutriiVeda headquarters?? I'm

hoping to go in to our next appt. prepared.

My kids really like the taste of N.V. So easy in the AM before school (to

hide probiotics in especially.)

Thanks!
