Question 1

what's an amino acid sequence?

Accepted Answer

A chain: This applies to the biological synthesis of enzymes. Amino acids are the building blocks as they form a long chain that constructs the final protein. It is an internal mechanism under genetic control.

Question 2

is glutamine a basic amino acid?

Accepted Answer

Glutamine amino acid: Glutamine is an Amino Acid (basic building block of proteins). People take it for various reasons as a dietary supplement. It purportedly helps maintain muscle mass in athletes or patients following surgery or major illness. Patients on chemo may take it to prevent or lessen side-effects. Caution should be taken for those with kidney or liver failure, mental illness or epilepsy or allergy to msg.

Question 3

does amino acid cause headache ?

Accepted Answer

Not that I know: Which Amino Acid is of concern, and do you supplement amino acids?  Many foods and food additives can promote headaches in susceptible individuals, and lists can be easily accessed on-line.  Food sensitivities are present only in about 15% of migraineurs.

Question 4

what is the amino acid 2222 side effect?

Accepted Answer

Not known for sure: Amino 2222 has several products, and since they are not medications approved by the fda, amino 2222 products are probably not tested for interactions and side effects like real medicines are. So, that means nobody really knows what side effects there are. If an amino 2222 user hears of some interaction or thinks he is getting a side effect, he can visit his primary care doctor.

Question 5

can we use amino acid 2222 tabs  in preworkout?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Can you provide more information about these tabs?  Many Amino Acids are helpful for muscle repair - but your description of "2222" is not meaningful to me (and i study supplements and nutrition).

Question 6

is cysteine an essential chemical? where do we get this amino acid from food? please advise!

Accepted Answer

Cysteine: Cysteine is a semi essential amino acid. Our body can synthesize it if sufficient methionine is consumed. It is contained in high protein foods, such as poultry, eggs, dairy, pork, and grains too. It is a precursor to glutathione in our livers, an essential antioxidant. It also participates in protein synthesis in tissue repair.  It is a crucial amino acid from these two perspectives.

Question 7

amino acid formula. once something is broken down to a.a. how can you test to see if it is present? if whole dna isn't found can it still be in there?

Accepted Answer

Amino acids: There are tests for Amino Acid levels but they are usually reserved for laboratory studies and not for the general public except when Amino Acid pathology is suspected (like phenylkentonuria). I imagine a complete analysis of all Amino Acids may be quite expensive & time consuming for accurate results.

Question 8

is melamine an amino acid or protein?

Accepted Answer

Neither.: It is a nitrogen rich plastic frequently added to food products to artificially boost protein assays because of its nitrogen content. Avoid! the chinese infant formulas and pet foods have had scandals in the past for putting this in said material! it is toxic! can cause a myriad of problems, particularly renal problems!

Question 9

what are amino acid vitamin capsules taken for?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Amino acids are precursors to helping build many essential enzymes and proteins for the body.  I use it for anti aging, helping restore muscle balance, and for many degenerative diseases that are losing muscle mass or GI disfunction.  Everyone does not necessarily need to be on this.

Question 10

63 /f/ should i be taking amino acid supplements?

Accepted Answer

Generally no: Unless you have a specific medical condition for which amino acid supplementation was prescribed, then - no. You or anyone else at any age that is otherwise healthy doesn't need amino acid supplementation. If you eat a reasonable diet, then you are getting sufficient amino acids, particularly essential ones, through diet anyway.
