The branched-chained amino acids, lysine, phenylalanine, methionine, and tryptophan are essential to tissue growth and repair; however, they can’t be manufactured by the body and therefore must be obtained through dietary consumption. They promote the healing of bones, skin, and muscle. They also regulate blood sugar levels, so they must be taken in a balance to insure proper regulation.

Phenylalanine is often used to treat depression. It is a precursor to the neurotransmitter, norepinephrine and aids in memory. It should be avoided by phenylketonurics (PKU)

The body uses methionine to derive the brain food, choline. It also aids in digestion, as well
as serving as a fat burner. It can interact with other substances to detoxify harmful agents,
and is essential for the production of cysteine and taurine.

L-Tryptophan acts as an sleep aid, as demonstrated by the drowsy feeling we sometimes
experience after Thanksgiving dinner (turkey meat has a relatively high amount of tryptophan.).
It is also necessary for the production of niacin and is used by the body to make the
neurotransmitter, serotonin.

Clinical trials are currently underway in the United States at the Veterans Administration
Medical Center in Bay Pines, Florida under the direction of Martin Robson, M.D.

These observations have their origin in the fact that whey protein contains high levels of amino acids, which may be important to wound healing. These amino acid include arginine, glycine, and particularly the branch-chained amino acids (BCAA) leucine, isoleucine and valine, which are essential to promote healing of bones, skin, and muscle tissues. Another amio acid, proline, aids in the production of collagen, heals cartilage and strengthens joints, tendons and cardiac muscle.
