A LEANER
MORE FIRM BODY
When you take AMINOLYZE at bedtime your body is going
into its most productive anabolic state of rest and repair. This is when the amino acids
in AMINOLYZE are most valuable for maintaining lean body mass. By having the amino acids
available, your body can use them to maintain your body's collagen, lean muscle tissue and
skin. Then, your body will have a greater tendency to burn fat for energy rather than
muscle. You will experience less plateauing and will have a much easier time maintaining
your healthy body composition for the long term. Collagen is the major component of bones,
hair, skin, nails and all other organs in the body. AMINOLYZE should be considered as a
component of the Life Plus Slender Now™ BLOCK, BIND, AND BURN
strategy of weight management.
Directions:
Take one tablespoonful every night at bedtime with a glass of
water on an empty stomach, preferably 3 hours after eating. If you eat too late, take your
AminoLyze anyway. In addition, take AminoLyze anytime during the day to support energy and
help maintain and build collagen.

BASIC
COLLAGEN SUPPORT
Protein is one of the most important nutrients for maintenance
of good health and vitality and a primary requirement for growth and development of all
body tissues. It is a unique nutrient and is the major source of building material for
muscle tissues. Protein is absolutely essential for healthy brain tissue as well as our
hair, skin and nails. Each gram of protein supplies four calories, which can be used by
the body for heat and energy. Protein is not normally used up for energy when adequate
levels of carbohydrates and fats are present. "Protein sparing" is important
when losing weight and/or trying to build muscle tissue.
Proteins are large complex molecules that must
be broken down into their individual units called peptides and Amino Acids before they can
be absorbed and utilized by the body to build muscle tissue. This process occurs in the
digestive tract and is the result of a certain enzyme action referred to as hydrolysis.
The protein is "hydrolyzed" into its component peptides and Amino Acids.
AMINOLYZE is protein that has already been enzymatically hydrolyzed by plant enzymes so
that its peptides and Amino Acids are readily and easily available to the body. And the
Amino Acids in AMINOLYZE-from hydrolyzed Collagen-provide excellent nutritional support
for both Collagen and Elastin.
Collagen is a protein found in all body organs
and is the most prevalent protein in the body. It is found predominantly in skin, nails,
ligaments and bones. Collagen is a connective tissue and is the cement that holds
everything together-the primary mortar between the bricks of all of our smooth muscle
tissues such as blood vessels, digestive tract, heart, gallbladder, kidneys and bladder to
mention just a few. Collagen, along with Elastin, is a key structural component of bones,
cartilage, tendons, the skin, lung tissue and blood vessels. Collagen provides structure
and firmness to body tissues, Elastin provides flexibility to those same tissues.
POSITIVE
NITROGEN BALANCE AND NPU
It is important to maintain positive "nitrogen
balance" in your body so that your rate of protein synthesis equals your rate of
degradation. In order to maintain your muscle tissue (lean body mass) you must maintain
positive nitrogen balance. If you don't consume enough calories and proper amounts of
Amino Acids from the protein in your diet, you can go into negative nitrogen balance. This
means your body can become cannibalistic and actually break down the protein in your own
muscle tissues if you restrict calories too much, especially when you limit your intake of
protein too drastically. Protein is the body's main source of nitrogen. It is critical to
maintain positive nitrogen balance, especially during weight loss and body building.
Supplementing with AMINOLYZE provides pure Amino Acids rather than resorting to your own
muscle tissue.
AMINOLYZE has a high Net Protein Utilization
(NPU)-its Amino Acids can be efficiently utilized by the body to maintain lean body mass.
The high concentration of the three amino acids, Arginine, Glycine and Proline are
responsible for its high NPU. Because of its high NPU and the positive nitrogen balance it
provides, AMINOLYZE allows for a more avid uptake of dietary protein, which spares lean
body mass, so your weight loss can be healthy, efficient and successful. AMINOLYZE is also
absolutely great for body builders who are trying to gain muscle tissue with diet and
exercise.
MAINTAINING
LEAN BODY MASS
Lean body mass is where most of our energy is consumed and that
energy is measured in units called calories. Calories are not used up in fat tissue. So,
the less lean body tissue you have, the less calories you can consume. As you lose weight
by calorie restriction alone, as much as 40% or more of the weight you lose is lean body
mass. We get weaker as this happens and our ability to burn calories decreases. As more
muscle tissue is lost because of fad dieting and lack of exercise, lean body mass
decreases and body fat percentage increases. You could become thin, but unhealthily fat at
the same time. AMINOLYZE is a unique protein supplement that greatly helps spare your body
protein, helping you maintain lean body mass, preserving your strength and helping you
burn calories.
THERMOGENESIS
Dietary food components not only maintain our general structure
and make substances like hormones and enzymes, but produce energy as well. Some energy
produced is in the form of heat and is how we maintain body temperature. This process
burns calories and is called "thermogenesis". After a "heavy" meal you
may notice more body heat, and may even perspire. In the 2 to 3 hour period following a
meal, fats may increase energy production up to 3 percent; carbohydrates up to 10 percent;
and protein all the way up to 30 percent. Meal-induced thermogenesis for the average
person is about 8 percent. For those on most diets, it is only about 4 or 5 percent. The
rich protein content of AMINOLYZE provides maximum opportunity for efficient
thermogenesis.
HOW TO TAKE
AMINOLYZE
It is important to take one tablespoonful of AMINOLYZE at
bedtime on an empty stomach with a glass of water. The key amino acids and peptides will
be absorbed into your bloodstream efficiently. This is the time when your body is in an
anabolic or rebuilding mode and can make the best use of them. The amino acids in
AMINOLYZE, especially the Glycine can be easily utilized for quick energy just like
carbohydrate, so you can take a tablespoonful mid-morning between breakfast and lunch
and/or mid-afternoon between lunch and dinner to support energy and help maintain more
consistent blood sugar levels.
SLENDER
NOW™ WEIGHT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
AMINOLYZE can provide major benefits for those trying to lose
weight or trying to keep it off. It only makes sense that the best results will be
obtained when AMINOLYZE is used as part of a total program. The successful LIFE PLUS
SLENDER NOW™ WEIGHT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM takes advantage of AMINOLYZE, is scientifically
sound-an important component of the BLOCK, BIND, AND BURN
strategy-to help you lose weight while maintaining lean body mass, and improve your
overall health at the same time. For optimal protein sparing and protein building results,
it is important to stress that dietary protein comes from a variety of sources.
