The amino acid helps the digestive system, interacts with other substances to detoxify harmful agents, aids muscle weakness, helps prevent brittle hair and is beneficial for allergic chemical sensitivities and osteoporosis.

Choline
Choline is needed for nerve transmission, gall bladder regulation and liver function. It minimizes excess fat in the liver, aids in hormone production and is necessary in fat and cholesterol metabolism. Without Choline, brain function and memory are impaired. It is beneficial for disorders of the nervous system such as Parkinson's disease. A deficiency may result in a fatty build up in the liver.

PABA (Paba-Amino Benzoic Acid)
PABA is one of the basic constituents of folic acid and also helps in the utilization of pantothenic acid. This antioxidant helps prevent against sunburn and skin cancer, acts as a coenzyme in the breakdown and utilization of protein and assists in the formation of red blood cells. Supplementing the diet with PABA may restore hair to its original colour if greying was caused by stress or a nutritional deficiency.

Arginine
Arginine can cause retardation of tumors and cancer, aids in liver detoxification, assists in the release of growth hormones and maintenance of a healthy immune system, detoxifies ammonia, can increase sperm count in males and aids in kidney disorders and trauma.
