Alchemy of Health 47 – Amino Acids for Gut Health

Targeted Amino Acid Solution to Heal Your Gut and Cultivate a Thriving Microbiome

Why is it important?

Specific amino acids serve as foundational substrates for enterocytes (gut cells). Direct cellular support of amino acids is essential for detoxifying the liver, healing the gut lining and reinforcing tight junctions, thereby effectively combating intestinal permeability or leaky gut and optimizing nutrient absorption efficiency.

Furthermore, specific amino acids function as essential modulators for the gut ecosystem, influencing the composition and metabolic activity of the thriving microbiome by supporting the growth of beneficial bacteria and the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs).

L-Glutamine, L-Arginine, and Cysteine are amino acids that serve as critical energetic substrates for enterocytes; and Glycine and Methionine are crucial precursors for potent antioxidants (e.g., Glutathione) and other essential compounds that provide vital support for liver detox pathways, which are often compromised when gut dysfunction is present.

By utilizing precision nutrition, the therapeutic application of a targeted amino acid solution as a science-backed strategy offers a potent, foundational approach to re-establish intestinal homeostasis, leading to a robust mucosal barrier and overall enhanced metabolic and immune function.
