Amino acids play central roles both as building blocks of proteins and as intermediates in metabolism. Proteins not only catalyze most reactions in living cells, they control virtually all cellular processes. The Amino Acid/Protein suppository is a proprietary combination of 9 essential amino acids L-Leucine; L-Isoleucine; L-Valine; L-Lysine; L-Threonine; L-Tryptophan; Histidine Mono HCL; N-Acetyl-Cysteine; L-Arginine Mono HCL and Acetyl-L-Tyrosine that maximizes both absorption and metabolic activity.
Note that our formula does not include phenylalanine so both phenylalanine sensitive and normal individuals can use this suppository as a complete Amino acid/protein replacement product.
Who could benefit from an Amino Acid Suppository?
Gastrointestinal tract symptoms are common in people with malabsorption syndromes with symptoms ranging from mild abdominal gaseous distention to severe abdominal pain and vomiting. Chronic or recurrent diarrhea is by far the most common symptom. Protein malnutrition due to poor absorption cause alterations of hormones such as IGF-1 (related to human growth hormone), testosterone and cortisol, and increased lipid peroxidation-Protein malabsorption can also result in altered metabolism of some elements such as iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), selenium (Se) or copper (Cu)-may contribute to muscle damage in non alcoholic Liver Disease.
There are many conditions where poor protein
absorption plays a significant role in the overall health of
individuals. These include the following conditions:
Gastric Bypass Surgery patients. Since the stomach
is effectively eliminated as a factor in absorption as well as the 2 or
more feet where most absorption occurs, protein malabsorption is a
common end result of this surgery.
Protein
malabsorption syndrome is involved in many conditions where there is an
inability to digest proteins.
Protein
malabsorption is a fairly common result of exocrine pancreatic enzyme
deficiency, as occurs in patients with cystic fibrosis. Additionally,
vitamin and mineral deficiencies are also a part of cystic fibrosis.
Protein
malabsorption that results from congenital enterokinase deficiency.
Celiac
disease in its entirety.
Creatorrhea,
loss of protein in the stool (ie, protein-losing enteropathy), is often
caused by the leakage of protein from the serum due to inflammation of
the mucosa, as in Crohn’s disease.
Secondary
malabsorption syndromes that result from liver, pancreas, and
intestinal diseases.
Leaky gut
syndrome. Poor absorption is becoming more prevalent and with it, the
reality of poor breakdown of proteins contributes to numerous autoimmune
response diseases including Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia and
Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Age
related malabsorption. As we get older we lose the ability to readily
digest proteins and therefore many persons experience symptoms as the
result of poor protein absorption.
Congenital
lymphangiectasia, a developmental disorder in which dilation and
dysfunction of intestinal lymphatics occurs, often in association with
limb edema (Milroy disease), may present with severe protein-losing
enteropathy without mucosal injury.
