Montiff Information Page on All-Basic Broad Spectrum Free-Form Amino Acid Mixture   A unique blend of 20 highest quality L- crystalline free-form amino acids, & precursors Ornithine alpha­ Ketoglutarate & Alpha Lipoic Acid.   WHAT ARE AMINO ACIDS? Amino acids are what protein is made of, and protein is primarily what the body is made of.  Amino acids are the individual crystalline molecules that make up protein, similar to the way letters make up words.  Which is to say that protein is no more than chains of amino acids.  There are 20 basic amino acids that produce all of the over 1600 proteins in the body and for that matter the same 20 amino acids are what all protein in all life - both animal and vegetable - are made from.   They are called the proteogenic-(to generate protein), amino acids.   They make up 3/4ths of the body’s solid material, and are found in muscle tissue, organs, blood and skin. Amino acids also make hormones, enzymes, and vitamins, and are essential for a healthy immune system and proper neurological-(brain), functions. - In fact, all neurotransmitters except one are made from single amino acids and therefore amino acid supplementation can have a beneficial effect on short term memory loss and mental function.   These 20 proteogenic amino acids are usually divided into 2 groups - the 8 essential amino acids that your body is not able to make and must obtain from food, and the 12 non-essential amino acids that it is thought that the body can make as long as it gets the 8 essential amino acids.  However the older one gets the less efficient one gets at being able to convert the essential amino acids to the non-essential amino acids.  Which is to say as one gets older one may be able to make some of the non-essential amino acids but progressively less and less.  Since in order for the body to perform its constant repair and maintenance activities it needs to have a supply of all 20 of the basic amino acids, the gradual loss of efficiency in making the 12 supposedly non-essential amino acids could contribute to the gradual loss of the ability of the body to repair and maintain itself.  So then we have a situation where in a progressive way as one gets older, all 20 of the 20 basic amino acids are as had been said by Don Tyson - conditionally essential.   Since Don has been doing blood & urine assays for amino acids & interpreting the results for doctors for 40 years, he should know.  It is necessary to replace amino acids constantly to nourish the body, and repair and regenerate tissue. Amino acids are generally ingested in the food we eat, however, because of processed foods, inadequate diets, and food restrictive programs, proper balance is rarely achieved and supplementation is advisable. Especially during illness, trauma, surgery and stress more amino acids are required than can be obtained by food alone.  Another consideration is that as we get older our bodily systems become less efficient at making the conversions from the so-called essential amino acids to the so-called non-essential amino acids.  In the chronically ill, they can help reverse negative nitrogen balance, and help prevent tissue wasting. ALL- BASIC is the recommended choice to help insure optimum balance and provide basic amino acid requirements.   WHY THE IMMUNE SYSTEM MAKES FREE-FORM AMINO ACIDS NECESSARY: In the case of proteins, your immune system can recognize self from other.  This is because your immune system will attack any foreign protein under the assumption that all foreign protein is part of an invading disease-causing organism-(disease-causing organisms are known as a pathogens).  For this reason, your immune system would be attacking the food that you eat  since your food contains foreign protein were it not for the fact that you also have a digestive system.  And that is why our digestive systems must break down all protein in the food that we eat into the individual amino acids that make them up because foreign proteins such as those found in food are not permitted to cross the gut wall from the digestive track into the blood stream.  So the digestive system must break down the foreign proteins in the food that we eat into the individual amino acids that make it up, (known as Free-Form Amino Acids).   These Free-Form Amino Acids are then permitted across the gut wall into the blood stream.  Once inside the body these individual Free-Form Amino Acids are then put back together or reassembled into your own unique proteins recognized by your immune system.  That is why in Criminology today detectives can use DNA testing by taking a scrap of skin, hair, blood, sweat, or tears, & identify who it is from by testing the proteins since everyone's are different.  This is also why amino acid supplements made with free-form amino acids are immediately absorbable with no digestion necessary.   Each capsule contains: 677mg. of the following ingredients with the highest to lowest amounts listed in this proprietary formula. L-Lysine HCL, L-Isoleucine, L-Glutamine, L- Tyrosine, L-Threonine, L-Alanine, L-Leucine, L-Histidine, L-Arginine HCL. L-Aspartic Acid, L-Valine, Ornithine-a-Ketoglutarate, L-Methionine, L-Cystine, L-Glutamic Acid, Glycine, L- Phenylalanine, Alpha Lipoic Acid, N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine, L-Serine, Taurine, L-Proline.   DIRECTIONS: 1-5 Capsules Three times per day before meals with full glass of fruit juice or water.  Do not take with milk or hot fluids. Vitamins and minerals are required for proper metabolism and  Montiff Vita-Minz Plus and B-Complete or B-Long are recommended.   RECOMMENDED FOR: A general amino acid formula to promote good health and well being. For tissue and cell growth and repair. Stimulate and improve the immune system. Assists in reversing negative nitrogen balance. Especially important during periods of stress, illness and injury. Recommended prior to and after surgical procedures. For those on a restricted food program. General health maintenance. SOME BENEFICIAL PROPERTIES OF ALL-BASIC FORMULA: ALPHA LIPOIC ACID, a powerful antioxidant included for extra protection against free radicals and cell damage. TAURINE for cardiac care, antioxidant properties and neurological health. ARGININE HCL for immune function and cardio-vascular properties. LYSINE, which is low in vegetarian diets, may inhibit viruses such as Herpes and EBV, and is found in muscle and connective tissue. ALL-BASIC formula has proper Lysine to Arginine balance. L-TYROSINE and N-ACETYL-L-TYROSINE, which crosses the blood brain barrier quickly, for proper neurological balance. BRANCH CHAIN AMINO ACIDS, LEUCINE, ISOLEUCINE AND VALINE in proper balance for healthy muscle tissue. GLUTAMINE for muscle tissue, neurological health and many other functions including gastro-intestinal health. GLUTAMIC ACID important for neurological health and is precursor to GABA. ALANINE helps stabilizes blood glucose levels. ORNITHINE-a-KETOGLUTARATE, a powerful compound and precursor for Arginine, Glutamine, Proline and Alpha-Ketoisocaporate. It has a potent effect on secretalogical cells and has an effect on hormones such as insulin and human growth hormone. It stimulates immune cells and actions of Hepatocyte DNA, and is important for protein synthesis. Ornithine-a-Ketoglutarate is also significant for promoting healing in surgical, trauma and leg ulcer patients. PROLINE is major amino acid found in cartilage and is important for maintaining youthful skin as well as repair of muscle, connective tissue and skin damage. It is also essential for the immune system. METHIONINE prevents deposits and cohesion of fats in the liver due to lipotropic factors, and assists in proper gallbladder function. It also has powerful antioxidant properties. CYSTINE promotes recovery of tissue, is part of the insulin molecule, and is useful in dermatology problems such as psoriasis and eczema. ASPARTIC ACID helps in protective function and detoxification of the liver. PHENYLALANINE is the precursor for epinephrine and catecholamine chemistry, and has been found useful in conditions of lethargy and extreme mental fatigue. GLYCINE is important for numerous functions, including formation of hemoglobin. It is the precursor to Creatine Phosphate, and it is also part of the Glutathione molecule, which is an important antioxidant. REFERENCES: Blackburn, G.L.
