Amino acids: L-carnitine, L-arginine and L-aspartic
L-carnitine, L-arginine and L-aspartic acid are three important amino acids, which each in their own way have a positive impact on energy production. L-carnitine stimulates the burning of endogenous fats, so that the double amount of energy is supplied in comparison with the consumption of sugars or proteins. L-arginine and L-aspartic acid are amino acids which directly intervene in the energy cycle. L-arginine and L-asparagic acid are amino acids that intervene directly in the energy cycle. They also form the building blocks for the synthesis of muscular proteins.
Coenzyme Q10 is the key for the production of energy of the body. It combats in an efficient way fatigue and muscular weakness. It strongly influence the recovery and endurance. Coenzyme Q10 plays a key role in the well-functioning of the organism. Some foods contain significant amounts of coenzyme Q10: primarily in fat fish (sardines, mackerel), soybean oil, whole grains and organ meats.
Lutein is a powerful antioxidant that belongs to the group of carotenoids. It has a major protective effect against the oxidation of lipids.
Lutein protects the body against free radicals and supports the immune system.
Lutein is mainly found in dark green leafed vegetables.
Omega-3 or n-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids. They are called essential fatty acids. This means that our body cannot live without them, but that the body itself cannot produce and need to be obtained through the consumption of food.
The most important omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosohexaenoic acid (DHA).
ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) is produced in higher plants, algae and phytoplankton. It is therefore found in green leafed vegetables for instance spinach , purslane and watercress. Other sources include nuts, linseed, soybean and walnut oils.
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are two long-chain fatty acids that can be produced by the body therefore not considered as strictly essential. The only major dietary source of EPA and DHA is fish oil (found in fat fish and fish oil capsules).
Recent scientific research showed that an adequate intake of omega-3 positively influences our health, such as the prevention of cardiovascular disease, arthritis and mental depression. In addition, they reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood, and are important for the eye-sight and metabolism within the brain.
Rutin is an amino acid that regulates the flow as well as strengthens the uptake and positive effect of vitamin C. Rutin is mainly found in the white flesh and seeds of citrus fruits.
Taurine is a sulfur-containing amino acid that nourishes and supports the blood flow. It helps the well-functioning of the head, the place where all our thoughts and actions take place. A high level of taurine in the body contributes to more energy, better concentration and a higher endurance and helps to combat temporary fatigue. It also strengthens the immune system.
