Has anyone ever heard of amino acid therapy? A lady at my work tried it and has lost 40 lbs since January.

I'm just wondering if anyone has ever heard of it, tried it, what sort of results have you seen from it, and have you experienced any sort of side effects.

She was placed on it by her doctor and is going to bring me a brochure on it next week. I did a little research online about it, but wanted to see if anyone on here has ever tried it.

Thanks!! :flowerforyou:

    From what I know about amino acid therapy, it's not necessarily a weight loss treatment, but a specific resolution to a body which cannot generate a natural adequate supply of amino acids.

    The combination of a body's amino acids provide the proteins necessary to function properly.

    I wouldn't recommend entering a program of amino acid changes without a doctors guideance for a specific problem with bodily functions (I'm not a doctor but I play one on MFP).

    Here is one link that provides some information.
