Guest guest Posted October 23, 1999 Report Share Posted October 23, 1999 Lipoic acid is one of the supplements my husband is on for pancreatic/liver cancer. Glad to hear the many protective qualities. We have much faith he will win the battle. My daughter (age 38) was cured of hypothyroidism by L-Tyrosine (amino acid) 500 mg per day and 1 tsp per day of Flax Seed Oil + quality multi-vitamin.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2000 Report Share Posted June 3, 2000 I began taking " malic relief formula " from biochem (main ingredients malic acid and magnesium malate) a year ago and my fibro pain got much better. About 70% I'd guess. I didnt see any effects for the first month; but then once the improvement started it continued for 8 months until it finally fixed the defeciency. -joey >>>>Tried taking a couple of different amino acids, GABA, L-Glutamine, and Taurine. Read from the pain and stress center, that they are good nuerotransmitters(promote calmness) They had a pretty strange effect, vision cleared up a little, memory got worse, but the worse was I couldn't sleep. I was also taking malic acid, which is supposed to help with muscle energy. Anybody have any ideas on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to be able to handle the amount mixed in with the magnesium and malic acid in the " Pro-Energy " formula from www.immune-support.com (aka Pro Health), but can't take it alone or in " alertness formulas " . GABA also sometimes has this effect on me. Remember that PWCs don't handle stress well because our bodies react differently to stress than healthy people do. Healthy people (and those who are depressed) tend to overmanufacture cortisol; we tend to undermanufacture it. For this reason, I would think hard about following any recommendations for stress that were not specifically targetted at us PWCs. Recently, I have had good results taking Thorne's Cortrex product, which is an adrenal cortex product that includes some other organ extracts and I think some licorice; it definitely reduced the level of tension and fatigue I was feeling as a result of family stress. BTW, I don't know whether magnesium and malic acid help with " muscle energy " , but they certainly help keep down the fibromyalgia pain and stiffness for me. I think the Co-Q10 has more effect on the energy aspect, at least for me. -- el - andrea@... (IFF " FNORD " appears - remove it from my email address to reply) " ...wake now!

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2000 Report Share Posted June 4, 2000 Hello all - I tried GABA on my doc's recommendation for inflammation and pain from my lower back injury. I had significant cognitive effects which she believes were caused by the GABA so I discontinued. I take L-Glutamine and L-carnitine with no problems though.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2000 Report Share Posted August 24, 2000 You should always take amino acids in a balanced form, which is one of the many reasons why taking them in a natural, whole food source is best.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2001 Report Share Posted February 12, 2001 Phil, I'll reply since no one did before. I had the Doctor's Data test several years ago and the results have been helpful for me. However, I never took their specified formula. for one thing, due to absorption problems, I needed higher doses to get results. I just used high quality health food store brands. Also, and this I guess does not apply to you but might help someone else, several aminos showed high because I was low in B6 and its metabolites and so I could not use the aminos I was getting in my diet. So, in my case, it wasn't just the aminos I needed to supplement. I hope this was helpful, > Amino Acids > > > I looked for a reponse to my question about obtaining formulated amino > acids but found no response so I'll try again.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2001 Report Share Posted February 13, 2001 Phil, If no one else helps you on this one, one idea I can think of, and I know it is a lot of work, but also a lot cheaper, is to buy the aminos in powder from BAC and mix up a big batch in the proportions you need and then if you got a capsule machine, you could capsulate your mixture.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2001 Report Share Posted February 13, 2001 Two excellent sources of all amino acids essential for humans are royal jelly and pollen. I buy fresh frozen royal jelly, propolis tincture, fresh pollen (Willamette Valley brand) and honey from www.glorybee.com 1-800-456-7923. Ask for their catalog when placing your first order. Their prices are cheaper than anyone else I've found -- especially the fresh royal jelly -- $33.95 for one kilo. Since it's perishable, it has to be shipped overnight ($35) or 2 days ($17). I use two day delivery for royal jelly in all seasons except summer. The rest I have shipped by UPS. The usual disclaimer applies -- I have no financial interest -- just found them to be the best cheap source for quality bee products. Excerpt from: http://www.fao.org/docrep/w0076e/w0076e16.htm#6.3 The principal constituents of royal jelly are water, protein, sugars, lipids and mineral salts. Although they occur with notable variations (Table 6.1) the composition of royal jelly remains relatively constant when comparing different colonies, bee races and time. Water makes up about two thirds of fresh royal jelly, but by dry weight, proteins and sugars are by far the largest fractions. Of the nitrogenous substances, proteins average 73.9% and of the six major proteins (Otani et al., 1985) four are glycoproteins (Takenaka, 1987). Free amino acids average 2.3% and peptides 0.16% (Takenaka, 1984) of the nitrogenous substances. All amino acids essential for humans are present and a total of 29 amino acids and derivatives have been identified, the most important being aspartic acid and glutamic acid (Howe et al., 1985). The free amino acids are proline and lysine (Takenaka, 1984 and 1987). A number of enzymes are also present including glucose oxidase (Nye et al., 1973) phosphatase and cholinesterase (Ammon and Zoch, 1957). An insulin-like substance has been identified by Kramer et al. (1977 and 1982). Excerpt from: http://www.fao.org/docrep/w0076e/w0076e10.htm#3.2 Since thecomposition of pollen changes from species to species, variation in absolute amounts of the different compounds can be very high. Protein contents of above 40% have been reported, but the typical range is 7.5 to 35%: typical sugar content ranges from 15 to 50% and starch content is very high (up to 18%) in some wind-pollinated grasses (Schmidt and Buchmann, 1992). The major components are proteins and amino acid, lipids (fats, oils or their derivatives) and sugars. The minor components are more diverse (Table 3.2). All amino acids essential to humans (phenylalanine, leucine, valine, isoleucine, arginine, histidine, lysine, methionine, threonine and tryptophan) can be found in pollen and most others as well, with proline being the most abundant.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2001 Report Share Posted April 21, 2001 Depends. Certain amino acids are safer alone than others. Leucine is one you should never take alone, whereas Taurine is usually safe. Still, it is best to take a broad spectrum amino acid complex like My Aminoplex - www.kt-solutions.com if taking single amino acid supplements. You should also make sure that you are taking adequate co-factors to make sure you don't compound any metabolic blockades.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2001 Report Share Posted April 21, 2001 Hi , It is assumed that you are eating proteins whether animal or vegetal or both. If you assure good stomach acidity and enzyme production, you should have a good pool of available aminos in your tissues and blood stream. Under this premise, you can supplement with individual aminos, without having to take a multiamino pill. A more important question, however, has to do with the nature of the aminos you want to take and their effect as precursors of other aminos, neurotransmitters, etc. warm regards FCR Dillr@... wrote: > I have a question about taking specific amino acids.
