More
than one hundred vitamin B6 - dependent enzymes have been identified, mostly involved in
amino acid metabolism: for oxygen transport via hemoglobin
synthesis; in blood sugar regulation via conversion of stored carbohydrate to energy; in the development of the myelin sheath surrounding nerve cells; in the conversion of alphalinoleic
acid to the essential long - chain fatty
acid DHA; 28 and in the
synthesis of neurotransmitters, phospholipids and sphingolipids, the vitamin niacin from tryptophan, and
other vital metabolites.5 In addition to its role in enzyme reactions, B6 appears to moderate the action of some steroid hormones such as the glucocorticoid hormones, which in turn influence the metabolism of protein, carbohydrate and lipids.5, 9 B6 also is a potent antioxidant, rivaling carotenoids and vitamin E in its ability to quench reactive oxidants in the body.29
However, ENDUR3 is much more
than simply
amino acids, as it also contains
other compounds to increase endurance, increase muscle protein
synthesis, and decrease muscle catabolism, and it can be used in and out of the gym.
All proteins break down into
amino acids in the digestive tract, but some
amino acids have more of an impact on protein
synthesis than others.
