Maintaining muscle mass for the elderly
As we age, elderly adults generally lose their strength, muscle mass and function and become more susceptible to diseases as we are seeing with COVID19. This can be due to reductions in exercise and also a reduction in digestive power. Proteins need to be digested to release their building blocks which are required to make…
Read MoreInnovAAte Amino Acids: Colds, Flu and Ill Health
A good supply of amino acids is important to help the body fight infections and recover from colds, flu and ill health. We recover from infections by the action of our immune system which make trillions of specialised proteins that attack the viruses and bacteria. Production of these defensive proteins by the body needs large…
Read MoreInnovAAte Amino Acids: Men’s Health and Well-being
Men lose amino acids throughout the course of the day which need to be replenished to maintain good health and well-being. Whether you are swimming long distances or surfing for hours on end, you can still lose substantial quantities of fluid which involves losing amino acids. Amino acids are present on the skin as part…
Read MoreMaintaining muscle is crucial for well-being in elderly adults.
As we age, elderly adults can lose muscle mass, strength and function and become more susceptible to diseases such as COVID19. The amino acids provided in OptimAAte are designed to replenish those that are in high demand by the body to better maintain muscle integrity and immune function. So why do elderly adults lose muscle…
Read MoreGive yourself the best chance to fight virus infections
When you are fighting a viral infection like COVID 19, the body needs to build a huge quantity of defence proteins to kill the virus. The body needs amino acids to build the defence proteins, and OptimAAte provides the amino acids that are in the highest demand at this time. This is how it works:…
Read MoreHow does your body make antibodies to a virus or bacterium it has never seen before?
Imagine walking around with 10 billion different keys in your pocket. You could unlock 10 billion different locks. This is what your immune system can do. It can potentially protect us against 10 billion different infections, even though it has never seen the infective bug before. It has the plans to make 10 billion different…
Read MoreHow does the body win against a virus?
We recover from viral infections, such as influenza and coronavirus, by the actions of our immune system which make trillions of specialised proteins that attack the virus. Production of these defensive proteins by the body needs large quantities of amino acids which are the building blocks used to make the proteins. A large proportion of…
Read MoreThe importance of amino acids in chronic fatigue syndrome
The first account of supplementation of CFS patients with amino acids was published in 1994. The results were very encouraging with reports of improved levels of fatigue following supplementation. The nature of CFS is that there is a huge diversity of what people suffer as symptoms and there seem to be many possible causes. It…
Read MoreThe thing to do to help fight infections: take amino acids
Every day, your body is exposed to numerous viruses and bacteria which we loosely describe as germs. At some times of the year, the numbers of infectious organsims are increased and we are more likely to succumb to an infection. It is important to practice good hygiene and to give your body the best chance…
