Aspartic acid: energy, growth and recovery

Aspartic acid, like ornithine, is very important for removing waste nitrogen by helping the body to form urea.. Aspartic acid also has many functions in the body including nerve transmission, resorption of sodium in the sweat and the enhancement of energy metabolism. This amino acid is also a critical component needed to make the special bases that are used to construct the body's DNA and RNA. So it has a major role in growth, development and repair processes. Aspartic acid is also lost in high quantities from the urine. This is the final podcast in this series.

Ornithine: optimise energy utilisation.

Ornithine is not used for making proteins, but has many roles important roles in daily metabolism and supporting an active lifestyle. As a high demand amino acid, it is used in multiple metabolic pathways to form key components in the body and it is also lost in great quantities in sweat. Ornithine plays a very important role in the removal of waste nitrogen, helping the body to form urea. If this removal of waste nitrogen does not occur efficiently, it can leave to the build-up of toxic ammonia in the body which leads to fatigue and poor brain function. Scientific investigations have shown that supplementation with ornithine can reduce fatigue, increase the efficiency of energy consumption, suppresses appetite and stimulates the utilisation of fats.

Lysine: energy for brain, heart and muscles

Are you interested in losing fat? Finding it hard to shift weight on various diets? You need to have enough of the right resources to enable your body to utilise and burn off the fats. Lysine is an essential amino acid that we need to take in the diet. It has a very special function where it is used to build carnitine to enable you to use fats for energy. If you are not getting enough lysine, then you will find it hard to lose weight. Carnitine is made by the body to enable the transport of large fat molecules (fatty acids) into the power houses of our cells to burn for energy. These powerhouses are called mitochondria, and they need carnitine to carry the fats from outside to inside the mitochondria. Without sufficient carnitine, then the body is limited in its capacity to utilise fats for energy. Lysine is a high-demand amino acid found in OptimAAte and ElectrAAte. .

Serine: brain function, sleep and healthy skin

In this episode we explore the various attributes of serine, a very important high-demand amino acid. Serine is needed to make the complex lipid molecules that form your membranes in the body - this is especially important for keeping the brain healthy and functioning at its peak. As a follow-on, healthy membranes in the brain can also help you sleep better. And the better you sleep, the better your general well-being. Serine is used in multiple processes in the body including keeping your skin healthy and moist. Serine is also lost in very high quantities through sweat and urine. Although we can make serine ourselves, under conditions of high levels of exercise or recovering from illness, the body can't always keep up with demand.

Glycine: collagen, skin, key energy systems, removal of toxic waste

Whilst amino acids are generally available from foods, highly active humans or those with chronic health issues, may not receive appropriate proportions of the HDAA to meet the daily requirements. Understanding their roles and how they are used up faster than other amino acids allows us to for an efficient strategy for effective supplementation. Join Hugh and Tim as they talk about the amino acid called glycine, which is a very important HDAA. What areas of health are associated with having a good supply of glycine? Repair of soft tissue damage - ligaments, tendons, blood vessels Healthy skin – formation of collagen, NMF Building energy systems Removal of toxic wastes What types of benefits have been reported in scientific investigations Formation of antioxidants - glutathione Treatments to decrease the impacts of various disordersincluding cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. Enhances health, growth and well-being Whether you're an athlete, a fitness enthusiast, or someone seeking to optimize your daily health, this podcast series will empower you with the knowledge you need to thrive.

Histidine: wakefulness, energy, digestion and motivation

Welcome to the second season of “The HDAA Revolution”, where we will take you through a journey to discover what the high-demand amino acids can do for you. Your hosts Hugh Dunstan and Tim Roberts have over 30 years of research experience and will introduce each of the HDAA to show you just how important they are to sustain good health and wellbeing. Our goal is to bring to light key features of how these HDAA – you won’t need a background in biology and biochemistry. We will explain the various roles these key nutrients play optimising energy and daily performance. Whilst amino acids are generally available from foods, highly active humans or those with chronic health issues, may not receive appropriate proportions of the HDAA to meet the daily requirements. Understanding their roles and how they are used up faster than other amino acids allows us to for an efficient strategy for effective supplementation. HDAAs are the unsung heroes of your body’s inner workings, playing a critical role in recovery after exercise, maintaining energy levels, and supporting overall health. This special group of amino acids do much more than just help build proteins—they are used to build energy systems, help maintain electrolyte balance and support nerve function. Join Hugh and Tim as they delve into the science behind HDAAs, unravel their importance, and provide expert advice on how to harness their power to elevate your fitness and well-being. Whether you're an athlete, a fitness enthusiast, or someone seeking to optimize your daily health, this podcast series will empower you with the knowledge you need to thrive. Get ready to revolutionize your approach to exercise and recovery with insights that are both practical and scientifically sound. The HDAA Revolution is here—are you ready to elevate your life? Today we will begin by looking at histidine. Many studies have shown great benefits from supplementation with histidine.

HDAA Power: Unlocking Peak Performance and Recovery

It is important to understand how fluid loss during exercise impacts your capacity to perform. In the loss of sweat fluid, you lose electrolytes and high-demand amino acids. By taking fluids electrolytes and HDAA, you can comprehensively replenish vital components that help you maintain your focus, concentration and full functionality of the body.

HDAA Essential: Do you really have hydration under control?

When you sweat, you can easily lose 500mL to 2 litres of fluid per hour. You can lose more in hot conditions and when it is hot, manual laborers can lose 10-14 litres per day . Most people know that you lose electrolytes in this sweat fluid and that it is important to replenish electrolytes as well as fluid. But most people do not realise that you also lose amino acids. In particular, you lose a group of six amino acids known as the high-demand amino acids (HDAA) at much faster rates than the other amino acids. When you are exercising, the body replenishes the losses of HDAA by breaking down muscle proteins to release the amino acids it needs. The more muscle protein that you breakdown, the longer the recovery phase will be because there is more muscle protein to rebuild. Supplementing with the HDAA during and immediately after exercise can help reduce the the breakdown of muscle proteins and thus reduce recovery times.

Vital Aminos: HDAA for immune defence

The immune defence system uses vast quantities of amino acids to build the necessary immune proteins your need to fight infection. When you are ill, the body will need to break down muscle proteins to supply sufficient quantities of amino acids to meet the demands of the immune defence. Supplementation with HDAA can help reduce the levels of muscle wasting.

Vital Aminos: HDAA for the ageing population

Undertaking exercise to stimulate muscle repair and growth is vital as we get older, and it is also important to provide the HDAA to help reduce the need to break down muscle proteins.
