In this day and age, with all the law suit crazy people in this world, we here at TWJ must needs put the above information in it′s place for everyone′s protection.

Yes, it has become a sad state of affairs when doing such becomes not only necessary but also the norm.

Too, you will see the above Important, Before Continuing information repeated on each and every page where we are endeavoring to provide help to our neighbors.

All information provided by this website within the Appendix Passage, especially in this section called A Wayƒarer′s Quill Strokes is free for any and all to access.

This means that in exchange for providing the information presented here in The Quill Strokes (and/or elsewhere within The Appendix Passage), this website will never ask for a membership fee, nor a purchase price, nor barrage the readers constantly with the requests for donations.

Furthermore, this website′s readers will never find any of the pages on this website cluttered with commercial advertisement, because this website is maintained commercial free, with the goal of benefiting the common good for mankind.

Amino acids are classified into three groups: (1) Essential amino acids; (2) Nonessential amino acids; and (3) Conditional amino acids.

1. Essential amino acids cannot be made by the body and must come from the food we eat.

2. Nonessential amino acids are those that our body can produce, even if we do not get them from the food we eat.

3. Conditional amino acids are normally not essential except in times of illness and stress.

There are nine amino acids that the body cannot make on its own; they must come from our diet. The 9 essential amino acids are histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.

Because they cannot be produced by the body, these essential amino acids must be part of everyone's diet and the highest sources of these amino acid are: almonds, avocados, chia seeds, eggs, figs, hemp seeds, leafy greens, lean meat, lean seafood (cod, halibut, perch, tuna, salmon, sardines), nuts, pumpkin, quinoa, raisins, sea vegetables, sesame seeds, spirulin, sunflower seeds and sunflower butter, and watercress.

Because they are used to build proteins, most of the human body consists of amino acids. Their abundance is second only to water.

Amino acids are used to build a variety of molecules and are used in neurotransmitter and lipid transport.

It is one of the most significant among the 20 common amino acids. It offers energy to your system. It releases into the blood stream during exercise time and induces carbohydrate-consuming effect to the health system. It promotes enhancement in the area of protein synthesis and nitrogen balance.

Class: Nonessential

Class: Conditional

Synthesized normally in the body, arginine is known to be a semi-essential amino acid. Sometimes more is required than normal production. Deficiencies may include poor wound healing, weakness in muscles, hair loss, irritations in skin, and constipation.

Class: Nonessential

It is one of the 20 common amino acids. It is needed to maintain homeostatic balance in the nervous system. Amino acid transformation and ammonia synthesis are largely dependent on asparagine.

Class: Nonessential

Aspartic acid is one of two acidic amino acids belonging to the group of 20 common amino acids. It promotes enzyme activity, maintenance of solubility in the body, as well as homeostasis in ionic characters of proteins.

Class: Conditional

It is present only at the rate of 2.8% into proteins but it provides the 3-dimensional stability of the protein molecule. It also plays a crucial role in the metabolic process of many important enzymes.

Class: Nonessential

It is one of the important amino acid among all 20 common amino acids. It is responsible for transportation of glutamate and other amino acids to the blood barrier.

Class: Conditional

Glutamine is able to eliminate excess ammonia from the body system. It enhances immune system. Apart from that, glutamine possesses anti-anxiety property that permits the mind to be relaxed.

Class: Conditional

Glycine is known as the second most common among the group of amino acids. It helps transforming harmful toxic substances within the body to a non-toxic form.

Class: Essential

Histidine is required for infant development. Histidine deficiency may result in eczema, a kind of skin disease. There are few genetic disorders that promote non-metabolic state for histidine. This results in speech disorders and mental retardations among infants and toddlers.

Class: Essential

This amino acid is particularly important for stimulating the brain in order to produce mental alertness.

Class: Essential

It is particularly effective in producing other essential biochemical compounds in the body. These chemicals are important for producing bodily energy and mental alertness.

Class: Essential

Lysine is one of the most important amino acid among all 20 common amino acids. It functions against herpes virus in particular by providing body required nutritional supplements.

Class: Essential

It is an essential amino acid which functions at initiating the translation of messenger RNA.

Class: Essential

This amino acid profoundly affects brain cells at biochemical level.

Class: Conditional

It significantly affects human nutrition. It is believed to act as a source of nitrogen.

Class: Conditional

Serine is intimately related to various bodily functions such as fat metabolism, tissue growth, enhancement of immune system and many more. It is an essential ingredient of brain protein.

Class: Essential

It helps in maintaining protein balance and also in assisting collagen formation.

Class: Conditional

This is particularly needed in the body for the production of vitamin B3.

Class: Conditional

This is crucial in building link between dopamine and norepinephrine. It also reduces fat by suppressing appetite.

Class: Essential

It is effective in promoting tissue growth and maintaining nitrogen balance in the health system.
