Pharmaceuticals

We have all heard that Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Amino acids are essential components in pharmaceuticals and other industries – nutraceuticals, food additives and personal care products.

Amino Acids are well known for breaking down your food and sustaining a normal digestive system. They are essential for the growth and repair of body tissue, healing wounds, and producing hormones and neurotransmitters. Amino acids boost your immune system, provide an energy source, build muscle, and maintain healthy skin, nails and hair.

For optimal health, our bodies require adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals. Vitamins are obtained from plants and animals. Vitamins are organic substances with a complicated chemical composition. They are vulnerable to heat, age and chemical reagents. Minerals have a simpler chemical composition. These inorganic substances are found in soil and rock. Minerals do not have a vulnerability to heat, sunlight, or chemical reactions.

Vitamins and minerals function similarly to hormones and are indispensable nutrients in maintaining and managing the body’s systems.

For centuries, many cultures have used botanical extracts to treat illness. In recent years pharmaceutical companies have increasingly recognised the value of botanical ingredients when developing products.
