“Two things are necessary for life to succeed:

\nA high-quality and sufficient protein supply is the foundation of our health and well-being. That is why, with our pioneering amino acid product MyAMINO®, it also forms the centerpiece of our dr.reinwald vital nutrition program. MyAMINO® offers a unique composition of the eight essential amino acids in accordance with the specific human amino acid pattern.
\nYet customers repeatedly ask us why MyAMINO® contains only eight of the 21 proteinogenic, i.e. protein-building, amino acids. We would like to explain this to you below.
But first, let’s look at why amino acids are so important for our health. During the digestive process, our body breaks down the protein from our food into amino acids. These are absorbed directly and without loss via the small intestine and distributed through the blood to all important parts of the body, where they are converted into and incorporated as the body’s own protein (organ tissue such as skin, muscles, liver cells, enzymes, etc.) (body protein synthesis).
\nIf the breakdown processes of body protein synthesis are insufficient, the proteins are pushed on half-digested into the large intestine, where they are decomposed by bacteria and burden the organism – the famous “wind” and the stool with a strong putrid odor bear witness to this. Malassimilation can therefore lead to a protein deficiency despite sufficient intake through food.
An adequate supply of high-quality amino acids is therefore vital for strengthening and maintaining lean body and muscle mass, for our metabolism and our immune defenses – in short, for our health, vitality and ultimately also for our fitness and mobility into old age.
\nOnly more recently has it been discovered that all living beings have their own very specific amino acid profile, the so-called “master profile,” for achieving maximum protein synthesis – humans included. For body protein synthesis to function optimally, the eight essential amino acids must be available to the organism simultaneously and exactly according to the specific amino acid profile of the human organism.
If this is not the case, the so-called protein nutritional value (the ability to synthesize protein) decreases; instead, the burden of metabolic breakdown toxins (ammonia), which our body has to dispose of via the detoxification organs liver and kidneys, increases. This is exactly where our MyAMINO® comes in.
In addition, when amino acids that cannot be used for body protein synthesis are broken down, energy is also produced via gluconeogenesis in the form of glucose. Why and when should this be avoided? In people with metabolic problems, it is often advisable to limit gluconeogenesis from proteins for a certain period of time in order to get the sluggish metabolism back on track and promote good ketosis more quickly.

\nMyAMINO® is based on a unique amino acid formula structured according to the specific human amino acid profile (Human Amino Acid Profile). It provides an optimal ratio of the eight essential amino acids L-leucine (19.6%), L-valine (16.6%), L-isoleucine (14.8%), L-lysine (14.3%), L-phenylalanine (12.9%), L-threonine (11.1%), L-methionine (7.0%) and L-tryptophan (3.7%).
Of the 21 proteinogenic amino acids, eight are considered essential.
