Amino acids are the building blocks of your physical body. Protein has to be converted into amino acids with which the body repairs daily wear and tear and the breakdown of hormones and enzymes. Sometimes we do not receive enough protein or we cannot assimilate it. Aminos Plus is the answer to this problem.

Why do I mix it with basil? Because basil is the carrier or delivery wagon for ALL the amino acids. Basil is also the best immune system supporter we know. In addition, amino acids should never be isolated – like B-vitamins – they should be taken together. When you are in special need of one or the other of the amino acids, add it to the Aminos Plus to complete the formula.

Alanine - is needed for proper nerve function. When nerves are convulsive as in twitches, tics, spastic movements, restlessness or in muscular contraction, alanine may be helpful.
