Amino Acid/Protein Suppositories 30 Count
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 patients with malabsorption syndromes, and symptoms range from mild abdominal gaseous distention to severe abdominal pain and vomiting.

Chronic or recurrent diarrhea is by far the most common symptom. Protein undernutrition 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 platys 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. The poor absorption of op is becoming more prevalent and with it the reality that the 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.
