Amino acid therapy provides the nutrition needed to overcome the physiological problems so that 12-step recovery programs, counseling and diets can work. Amino acids are often called the building blocks of life. But, how many of us know the true importance of Amino Acids in our lives?

Essential amino acids -- some say there are eight, others say there are nine, are generally considered those that the body cannot manufacture and must obtain through the diet . A semantically driven argument would be that because of their necessary functions to sustain life, all amino's are essential.

Someone who is undergoing a period of excessive stress is using up available amino acids -- particularly GABA, glutamine, taurine and tyrosine -- faster than the body can produce them from dietary intake.

Our "Pain and Stress Center" combines these amino's, which create neurotransmitters, in one formula, Anxiety Control. These amino's can become totally depleted in people suffering from depression, anxiety and grief.

These amino acids are the "fuel" that your body converts to neurotransmitters. A neurotransmitter is a chemical messenger used by neurons (nerve cells) to communicate in one direction with other neurons. Communication between neurons is accomplished by the recognition of a receptor for a specific chemical messenger; picture a ball (neurotransmitter) in a cup (receptor).

The human brain is very capable of automatically manufacturing the quantity of chemicals it needs IF it is given the raw materials (nutrients from foods) to do so. However, normal diet does not supply enough of the raw materials the brain needs to manufacture enough neurotransmitters. Additionally, stress, worry, depression, emotional ups and downs, drugs, alcohol, poor nutrition, pollution and other factors of modern life are known to deplete neurotransmitter levels.

Neurotransmitter deficiency and/or unbalance can affect your stress condition, energy, appetite, cravings, sleep, mood, learning ability, focus, memory, sex drive, anger, irritability, temper, addictions and many other functions of daily life.

Conditions such as . . . Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Alcoholism, (ADD/ADHD), Drugs, Outbursts of Anger, Lack of Focus and Concentration, Overweight, PTSD/Stress, or Sleeping Problems can be the result.
