WHAT IS PROTEIN?

Think of a strand of pearls.  The entire strand would represent the protein.  The individual pearls would represent the amino acid building blocks of protein.  Just as the type of pearls used would determine the type of strand of pearls, the type of amino acids used would determine the type of protein made. 

Altering the amino acids used, among other things, will determine whether the protein will look like hair, skin or muscles.  It will determine whether the function of the protein will be to cut things (called enzymes), tighten your skin (called collagen) or control vital processes (called hormones). 

WHAT PROTEINS DO IN YOUR BODY?

Proteins are first broken down into their amino acid basic building blocks as they pass through your digestive tract.  These amino acids enter your bloodstream where they will eventually be used as follows:

ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS

There are certain amino acids that our body cannot make.  These are called essential amino acids.  We must get the essential amino acids from our food.  A 150 pound person requires about 61.4 grams (150 lbs x 0.9=135/2.2=61.4 grams) of protein daily.  In nature, amino acids are found together as they are interdependent on one another for function.  Disrupting this balance can cause a relative deficiency. 

PROTIEN RICH FOODS

All of the essential amino acids needed to make this protein can be found in most meats, dairy, beans, seafood and seaweed.  Most fruits and vegetables only contain some of the essential amino acids.  Most nuts (especially almonds) are rich sources of protein.  Other rich sources are beans (especially soybeans), meat, fish, mixed grains, whole wheat, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, legumes, cheese, taco shells, granola bars, wheat germ, custard, pudding, wheat gluten, dark rye, soy, barley, millet, brown rice, wild rice, bee pollen, condensed sweetened milk, and yogurt.  Spirulina and barley grass are excellent herbal sources.

Protein Mixing Instructions:

 Dry:  Sprinkle over a food or mix with any saucy food.

• Glass:  Add 2 scoops (scoop provided in the container) of Youth Restorer to a glass of water, lemonade, or other drink that does not contain sucrose (table sugar).  Anything like sucrose that adds a significant amount of glucose to your blood will interfere with the morning brain feed.  Wait 15 minutes before eating anything to allow the morning brain feed to take place.  If you need to take Youth Restorer and Amino Multi more than once a day, you may take them with or without food for the rest of the day.

• Gallon:  Make a gallon of lemonade using ReaLemon concentrate (directions are on the bottle) and Splenda (only if you are comfortable with using this), Stevia or Xylitol as a sweetener.  Add a cup of the Youth Restorer and mix well.  Before eating anything in the morning, shake well and pour 8 oz of the lemonade mixture and take 4 Amino Multiple capsules along with any other supplements you want to take at that time. Wait 15 minutes before eating anything to allow the morning brain feed to take place.  If you need to take Youth Restorer and Amino Multi more than once a day, you may take them with or without food for the rest of the day.
