How Amino Blend Injections Help Burn Energy and Aid in Weight Loss

Maybe you’re trying to lose weight and are having no success, or you’re yo-yo-ing up and down because no diet you try sticks.

Maybe you’re an athlete interested in building lean muscle and improving your body’s ability to burn food for energy.

Either way, beYOU bioidenticals has got you covered. Our expert providers in Leawood, Kansas, offer a medical weight loss program that uses research-backed, proven treatments to help you reach your goal weight easily and quickly.

We use a combination of hormone replacement therapy  and weight loss medications to minimize your appetite and boost your metabolism. We also offer amino blend injections which contain a mix of arginine, glutamine, lysine, and proline. Here’s how they can help.

Muscle mass and weight loss

With increased body mass often comes weight loss since muscle tissue burns more than fat tissue, which increases your metabolism over time. Diets high in protein and amino acids and supplements, like our amino blend injections, are more filling because they slow digestion and signal your brain that you’re full, which can potentially reduce your overall calorie intake.

Arginine

L-arginine (the L indicates it’s a left-handed molecule) is an amino acid that helps the body build muscle and heal wounds. L-arginine can be found in most protein-rich foods, such as fish, red meat, poultry, soy, whole grains, beans, and dairy products. However, in some cases, the need for L-arginine may exceed the body's ability to synthesize it naturally. 

L-arginine also acts as a vasodilator, dilating blood vessels, and can be used to treat heart conditions, such as angina and peripheral artery disease, as well as erectile dysfunction.

Glutamine

L-glutamine has many different functions in the body. Like arginine, it’s a building block of protein and a critical part of the immune system and digestive health.

The amino acid plays a crucial role in glucose (energy) uptake by the muscles after exercise, helping to restore their energy levels for your next workout. When glucose stores are optimized, you perform better, take longer to fatigue, have decreased muscle soreness, and improve recovery time.

L-glutamine combined with creatine increases lean body mass and power with endurance exercise. Glutamine has also helped prevent obesity with consistent supplementation.

Lysine

Lysine is a building block for protein. It’s what’s known as an “essential” amino acid because your body can’t make it, so you need to get it from food or supplements. It’s essential for standard growth and muscle turnover and helps manufacture carnitine, a substance found in most cells in the body. It also may promote wound healing by helping produce collagen, a structural protein.

Proline

Proline is critical in protein synthesis and structure, metabolism (how we create and burn energy), nutrition, wound healing, antioxidative reactions, and immune responses.

Proline is a nonessential amino acid, meaning our bodies can make enough during most phases of our lives. However, during times of stress, healing, or growth, our requirements exceed the amount that our bodies can make, and it becomes essential.

Proline helps in the production of collagen and cartilage. It keeps your muscles and joints flexible and helps the body break down proteins to create healthy cells.
