L-Valine
L-Valine is one of the 20 amino acids that make up proteins [1]. It is an essential eight amino acid and a glycogenic amino acid for the human body. It works together with two other high concentration amino acids (isoleucine and leucine) to promote normal growth, repair tissues, regulate blood sugar, and provide the necessary energy. During intense physical activity, valine can provide additional energy to muscles to produce glucose, preventing muscle weakness. It also helps to remove excess nitrogen (potential toxins) from the liver and transport the nitrogen needed by the body to various parts.
Valine is an essential amino acid, which means that the body itself cannot produce it and must be supplemented through dietary sources. Its natural food sources include grains, dairy products, shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, peanuts, soy protein, and meat. In addition, D-valine is also present in some actinomycins, such as valimycin.
