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.
