People who have difficulty digesting protein
People who have impaired digestive functions
People on low protein diets
Convalescing
People with poor appetite

(please read this important notice concerning supplement medical claims)

Features:

Proteins are constantly being used by the body for normal function, growth and repair. Therefore protein must continuously be provided in the human diet to replace the body's normal protein loss and maintain optimal health.
Protein Build Formula contains a balance of 20 amino acids presented in their 'free form'. In other words, these amino acids are fully absorbable even by persons with seriously impaired digestive functions.
Digestion is not required for this product, and for this reason Practitioners frequently recommend Protein Build Formula for people who have problems digesting proteins, those on low protein diets, those convalescing or anyone who has a poor appetite.
Protein Build Formula is a hypoallergenic formulation.
Protein Build Formula is available in capsules or as a powder.

Lamberts

Lamberts is the UK's leading supplier of food supplements to health professionals. All Lamberts product formulations are based on an in-depth understanding of the latest nutritional research. Their strategy is to develop only those products that are supported by a valid scientific rationale and this has led health professionals to rely on Lamberts for nutritional and herbal supplements that provide relevant levels of active ingredients. Lamberts products are produced in their own factory which is one of the most modern and technically advanced in Europe and which operates to stringent pharmaceutical standards of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and is approved by the UK Department of Health, Medicines Control Agency. Each product manufactured by Lamberts is subjected to a series of rigorous tests ranging from analysis of the raw materials through to tests on the product whilst it is being made as well as the finished product itself to ensure they meet the specifications given on the label. Lamberts work in conjunction with several research departments at Universities through the UK to conduct studies on a number of topics ranging from the use of magnesium in asthma through to anthocyanidins and fluid retention. Many of Lamberts products are of a higher potency than you would normally find in retail products. The reason for this is that the active ingredients in their products are included at relevant levels as opposed to just token levels.

Amino Acids
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. In fact, the daily protein requirement is really the body's need for amino acids. Dietary amino acids are classified as essential and non-essential. Both are used to assemble hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters (chemical messengers), antibodies, and nutrient carriers.

Essential amino acids - such as histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine - cannot be manufactured by the body, so they must be obtained through diet and supplementation.

Non-essential amino acids are equally necessary to help maintain good health, but can be synthesized in the body from essential amino acids. Though classified as "non-essential", the consumption of amino acids such as arginine, ornithine, cysteine, methionine, taurine and tyrosine is beneficial for individuals with certain nutritional concerns.

BCCA (Branched Chain Amino Acids: leucine, isoleucine and valine), serve as building blocks for tissue proteins, play an important role in energy metabolism and are precursors of other amino acids.

L-Carnitine is actually a dipeptide, an amino acid made up of two other essential amino acids: methionine and lysine. L-Carnitine is important for fat metabolism in cells, including heart and muscle cells. It is necessary for transporting long-chain fatty acids into cell mitochondria where the acids are oxidized and burned for energy.

L-Glutamine is a major fuel source for intestinal, immune and brain cells. Glutamine comprises 60% of the body's total amino acid muscle pool and is the highest concentrated amino acid in the blood stream. It is responsible for helping to transport nitrogen to tissues and remove nitrogen from the body. It is also important in regulating amino acid balance.

L-Glutathione is a natural sulphur-containing peptide formed by linking three amino acids:glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine. It acts in antioxidant and detoxification systems and is also involved in helping amino acid transport across cell membranes.

L-Methionine is a sulfur-containing amino acid with antioxidant properties. Methionine is the precursor to cysteine. Methionine is essential to help support growth and development. It is required for protein synthesis and in liver detoxification pathways.

L-Phenylalanine helps produce neurotransmitters, the brain's chemical messengers. It is a precursor to tyrosine which is used to manufacture certain hormones, including adrenalin (epinephrine), noradrenalin (norapinephrine), L-dopa, and dopamine. It is also a precursor to tyrosine.

(DL-Phenylalanine) DLPA is a mixture of the natural form of phenylalanine (the L form) and its mirror image (the D form). DLPA may have the unique ability to block the enzyme (enkephalinase) in the central nervous system that is responsible for breaking down natural, morphine-like hormones called endorphins and enkephalins.
