Comparison of 5-ALA with General Amino Acids
General amino acids are the building blocks of proteins that make up muscles, skin, hair, and support biological functions. In contrast, 5-ALA mainly exerts its effects at the cellular level. Our bodies consist of about 30 to 60 trillion cells, and 5-ALA supports the mitochondria that deliver energy to these cells. Mitochondria produce “ATP,” an essential energy source for maintaining health. 5-ALA is an essential amino acid for life activities, but it is known to decrease with age. It is believed to peak at 17 years old and be lost by 120 years old, closely related to aging.
