Here is a product for helping people with their protein metabolism. Protefood contains the essential amino acids. I don't know if you're aware of the different types of amino acids. There are some 22 in all, and eight of these are called "essential," although some authorities feel there are ten essential amino acids. At any rate, if you're getting the essential amino acids in your food, your body can make the others. Also, what amino acids you are getting in your food can only be utilized if the essential amino acids are all present.
It's these essential amino acids which are most likely to be deficient in the diet, as they are so quickly destroyed by heat -- "heat labile" they're called. A person might eat plenty of protein foods, but if he's not getting the essential; amino acids -- maybe his meat is overcooked -- then the amino acids that are viable won't be utilized in the tissues. They remain circulating in the blood stream. So the person takes Protefood, and now he has the missing factors which enable him to utilize the amino acids already in his blood. The protein level in his blood begins to go down, because now the amino acids are being used by the cells.*
It's as though you're running a watch factory, and you have everything but the mainsprings. So your production line is quiet. You're not making any watches even though your warehouse is full off all the other watch parts. A little package comes in the mail, full of mainsprings. So now you can start your production line going and make watches again. What happens to the warehouse? It empties out because all of these parts can now be used. People with poor protein metabolism have a lot of protein in their blood which they can't use, due to a lack of the essential amino acids.*
So we give them the necessary factors, and now they can use up all the parts and the warehouse is emptied out. Well, that's what Protefood is. It is a very high concentration of the essential amino acids. When we originally made Protefood, it was for a doctor who wanted to give a patient protein. He wanted to give the patient two capsules with a glass of water in his office. He said "Then next week when he comes back, I want to give him two more. I don't want to give him the bottle to take home." So we designed Protefood so that two capsules a week would be sufficient, although it works better if you take one every day. Usually one daily is ample. The main symptom indicating a need for it is fatigue. Some people take more than one daily. Suppose a person has weak adrenals or a low metabolism, this will help him. It will speed up his metabolism. Using this is just like turning on a draft on a furnace to cause the fire to burn hotter. It is an excellent product, a powerful one. We put it in little bottles, 25 capsules per bottle. You don't have to use very much of it.*

- Maintains healthy protein metabolism and cellular function
Lysine is a necessary building block required for construction of all human proteins. Lysine assists in the production of enzymes and hormones. Potassium is also directly involved in the construction of proteins, and is involved in the correction of metabolic processes, the proper functioning of the nervous system, and the formation of energy-rich glycogen. Calcium also supports cellular function by maintaining normal growth and repair of cells, and promoting healthy nerve function. RNA supports protein metabolism by decoding genetic instructions, activating amino acids for protein construction, and by assisting in building ribosomes to serve as the sites for protein synthesis.*
- Supports cardiovascular health
- Methionine helps prevent buildup in arteries by assisting in the breakdown of fat. Likewise, vitamin C plays a major role in the metabolism of cholesterol. Potassium and calcium are important minerals to cardiovascular health: potassium is necessary to initiate heart muscle contractions, while proper regulation of heart muscle contraction and heartbeat is maintained by calcium-rich muscle fluids in the heart.*
- Supports healthy immune response
Methionine helps inactivate free radicals making it a powerful antioxidant and detoxifying agent. It also helps protect the liver. Lysine is involved in the production of antibodies and ribonucleic acid (RNA) which help strengthen the immune system. High concentrations of vitamin C are found in cells involved in the immune response, and vitamin C stimulates some cells of the immune system. Vitamin C also has antioxidant properties.*
- Promotes healthy bones, muscles, and teeth
Lysine is required for proper growth and bone development in children, and facilitates calcium absorption. Calcium keeps bones and teeth at the proper density to sustain daily wear and tear. Vitamin C promotes healthy teeth, bone, and muscle tissue through its primary role of collagen formation, a function found in all cells of the body. Lysine also helps in the formation of collagen. Potassium is required for contraction of all skeletal muscle, and is necessary for the building of muscle and normal body growth.*
