Fatty Acid Activity
Omega-3 fatty acid (Alpha-linolenic acid) is an essential fatty acid that plays an important role in brain function and may aid in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Research on the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acid have shown that it may be useful for supporting the following conditions. Asthma, diabetes arthritis, osteoporosis, some cancers, high cholesterol high blood pressure, attention disorders, depressive disorders and digestive disorders,


There are many health conditions that can be prevented by the daily intake of Omega-3 essential fatty acids. EPA helps to promote a healthy heart and circulatory system, improves joint flexibility, lowers triglycerides, supports proper immune function, and promotes positive mood and emotional well-being.


DHA is essential for healthy brain function, protects the aging mind, supports a healthy pregnancy, promotes good mood and emotional well-being, improves behavior, focus, and learning in children, supports healthy visual and brain development in fetuses and infants, and reduces the harmful effects of stress. Higher oleic acid reduces blood LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.


Linoleic acid is an omega 6 fatty acid and is an essential fatty acid and natural sources
of this fatty acid include sunflower oil and safflower oil. 
Conjugated Linoleic Acid is a naturally occurring fatty acid which is produced in the human intestine. 


This form of fatty acid is commonly found in the animal and dairy products like meat, milk, egg, cheese, poultry, etc. Research shows that one of the probable reasons for obesity and weight gain problems in people is absence or insufficient amounts of linoleic acid in their diet. It is believed that Linoleic acid is quite effective in making people lose weight and gain muscle mass. Moreover, this fatty acid is also beneficial in reducing risks of different types of cancers like breast, prostate, lung, stomach, etc. by inhibiting cell proliferation.


Oleic acid is essential to the human body and we can manufacture a limited amount, oleic acid is also known, as Omega-9, or monounsaturated oleic and stearic acid, is a non essential fatty acid produced naturally by the body whenever there is enough of either Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids.


This fatty acid plays a role in preventing heart disease by lowering cholesterol levels. Other benefits of omega 9 are that it reduces hardening of the arteries and improves immune function. Within the body omega-3 fatty acids are converted to DHA and EPA (docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid, respectively). 


DHA and EPA are highly unsaturated fats that play very important roles in the vision development and brain function of infants. A lack of DHA has been associated with Alzheimer disease, attention disorders, phenylketonuria, cystic fibrosis and other diseases.

Mojoba Health Supplement Amino Acid Activity

Mojoba Intelligent Nutrition

Amino Acid Activity

Our bodies need twenty different amino acids or proteins that are the building blocks for a healthy body. Non-essential amino acids are those that the body can synthesize for itself, provided there is enough nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen available. Essential amino acids are those supplied by the diet. They must be consumed as the human body either cannot make them at all or cannot produce them in sufficient quantity to meet its needs.

Proteins act as enzymes, hormones , and antibodies . They maintain fluid balance and acid and base balance. They also transport substances such as oxygen, vitamins and minerals to target cells throughout the body. Structural proteins, such as collagen and keratin, are responsible for the formation of bones, teeth, hair, and the outer layer of skin and they help maintain the structure of blood vessels and other tissues.

Enzymes are proteins that facilitate chemical reactions without being changed in the process. Hormones (chemical messengers) are proteins that travel to one or more specific target tissues or organs, and many have important regulatory functions. Insulin , for example, plays a key role in regulating the amount of glucose in the blood.

The body manufactures antibodies (giant protein molecules), which combat invading antigens. Antigens are usually foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses that have entered the body and could potentially be harmful. Immuno-proteins, also called immunoglobulins or antibodies, defend the body from possible attack by these invaders by binding to the antigens and inactivating them.

If these critical components for a healthy body are not provided as part of a healthy diet, the body will look for other sources for them. This can include breakdown of our organs, leading to chronic problems such as liver and kidney problems, diabetes and heart disease among others.

Mojoba Health Supplement is considered a complete food as it contains all of the essential amino acids required for a healthy body. It is nature’s nutritional powerhouse and contains all of the following amino acids.

Alanine is important for energy in muscle tissue, brain, and central nervous system. It strengthens the immune system by producing antibodies. Alanine also helps in the healthy metabolism of sugars and organic acids in the body. 7.2mg

Arginine causes the release of the growth hormones considered crucial for optimal muscle growth and tissue repair. It also improves immune responses to bacteria, viruses, and tumor cells while promoting the healing of the body's wounds. 14.6g

Aspartic acid helps rid the body of ammonia created by cellular waste. When the ammonia enters the circulatory system it can act as a highly toxic substance which can damage the central nervous system. Recent studies have also shown that aspartic acid may decrease fatigue and increase endurance. 9.4g

Cysteine functions as an antioxidant and is a powerful aid to the body in protecting against radiation and pollution. It can help slow the aging process, deactivate free radicals, and neutralize toxins. It also aids in protein synthesis and presents cellular change. It is necessary for the formation of new skin cells, which aids in the recovery from burns and surgical operations. 3.0g

Cysteic acid 2.09g

Glutamic acid is food for the brain. It improves mental capacities, helps speed the healing of ulcers, reduces fatigue, and curbs sugar cravings. 9.5g

Glycine promotes the release of oxygen required in the cell-making process. It is also important in the manufacturing of hormones responsible for a strong immune system. 4.9g

Histidine is used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, allergies, ulcers, and anemia. A lack of histidine may lead to poor hearing. 3.2g

Isoleucine  builds proteins and enzymes and it provides ingredients used to create other essential biochemical components in the body, some of which promote energy and stimulate the brain to maintain a state of alertness. 4.2g

Leucine works with isoleucine to build proteins and enzymes which enhance the body's energy and alertness. 7.3mg

Lysine ensures your body absorbs the right amount of calcium. It also helps form collagen used in bone cartilage and connective tissues. In addition, lysine aids in the production of antibodies, hormones, and enzymes. Recent studies have shown lysine improves the balance of nutrients that reduce viral growth. 2.7g

Methionine primarily supplies sulfur to your body. It is known to prevent hair, 

skin and nail problems while lowering cholesterol levels as it increases the liver's production of lecithin. Methionine reduces liver fat and protects the kidneys, which reduces bladder irritation. 

0.9g

Phenylalanine produces the chemical needed to transmit signals between nerve cells and the brain. It can help with concentration and alertness, reduce hunger pains and improve memory and mood. 4.4g

Proline is extremely important for the proper function of your joints and tendons. It also helps maintain and strengthen heart muscles. 15.2g

Serine is important in storing glucose in the liver and muscles. Its antibodies help strengthen the body's immune system. Plus, it synthesizes fatty acid sheaths around nerve fibers. 

6.2g

Threonine is an important part of collagen, elastin, and enamel proteins.  It assists metabolism and helps prevent fat build-up in the liver while boosting the body's digestive and intestinal tracts. 2.8g

Tyrosine transmits nerve impulses to your brain. It helps overcome depression; improves memory; increases mental alertness; plus promotes the healthy functioning of the thyroid, adrenal, and pituitary glands. 23.6g

 Tryptophan  supports the immune system, alleviates insomnia, reduces anxiety, depression, and the symptoms of migraine headaches. It also is beneficial in decreasing the risk of artery and heart spasms as it works with lysine to reduce cholesterol levels. 12.49g


Valine is important in promoting a sharp mind, coordinated muscles, and a calm mood. 4.8g
