Non-essential amino acids is also called dispensable amino acid, an amino acid that can be synthesized in the body, provided there is enough source of nitrogen. It is not supplied preformed in the diet.

Types of Non Essential AA

• L-Alanine - acts as a producer of energy and its regulates blood sugar. Intervenes in the metabolism of glucose.
• L-Asparagine - important in the metabolic process of the nervous system.
• L-Aspartic Acid - essential for the transformation of carbohydrates into muscular energy.
• L-Citruline - immune system stimulator, helps in the production of body energy and helps to detoxifies the liver from ammonia substance.
• L-Cysteine - stimulates the growth of hair and protects against the damages that can be caused by alcohol and cigarettes.
• L-Glutamine - helps the memory, concentration, and the correct functioning of mental activity.
• L-Glutamic Acid - helps in the production of energy and brain function.
• L-Glycine - slow the muscle degeneration by supplying addional creatine. Vital for structuring red blood cells and providing amino acids to the body. Glucose and creatine are 2 essential substances in the production of energy and require glycine in their synthesis process.
• L-Histidine - important in the production of red and white blood cells, and is vital for the formation of body tissues.

• L-Proline - important ingredient in the formation of tissues.
• L-Serine - aid the memory, the nervous system function, and is very important in the production of cell energy.
• L-Tyrosine - helps in the treatment of insomnia, anxiety and depression, as well as allergies and is very important in the function of the thyroid and hypophysis glands.
• Deficiency of this amino acid is associated to hyperthyroidism (can cause fatigue).
• L-Carnitine - helps control weight and body fat, as well as reduce the risk of heart problems. Lysine and vitamin B1 and B6 along with iron are needed for the body to produce this amino acid.
• GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) - helps stop anxiety and hyperactivity.
• L-Taurine - important for the muscle and disorders of the heart, helps the digestion of fats (it is found in bile), and also helps in hypoglycemia and hypertension.
