The Often-Overlooked Nutrient That Powers Your Brain and Body

The Often-Overlooked Nutrient That Powers Your Brain and Body

Aug 11, 2025Vicki Fletcher

Energy, clarity, and resilience, we chase them in capsules, smoothies, and strong coffee. But beneath all of that is a simpler truth: your body runs on amino acids. These often-overlooked nutrients do the work behind the scenes, powering everything from your neurotransmitters to your muscle repair. 

They’re called amino acids, and they’re quietly responsible for everything from neurotransmitter production to muscle repair to immune defence 

Your body uses 20 different amino acids to function, some essential, some non-essential — and Royal Oak Health’s new Full Spectrum Amino Acid Complex includes all 20 in a clean, easy-to-absorb formula. 

This is foundational support for both brain and body — especially when life is demanding. 

So What Makes Our Full Spectrum Amino Acid Supplement Different? 

Our formula delivers a full spectrum of all 20 amino acids — including the 9 essential aminos your body can’t produce on its own. That’s an important detail, because many amino supplements on the market only contain the basics and often skip the rest due to cost or complexity. 

That means you could be taking a supplement that looks helpful, but misses key building blocks. 

This formula is different. It's comprehensive, vegan-friendly, and designed to support your muscles, mood, metabolism and mind — without any unnecessary additives or synthetic flavours. 

For the Nutrition Geeks... 

If you love details, here’s the science: 

 Your body builds all of its proteins using 20 amino acids, which fall into two categories: 

 9 Essential Amino Acids 

These must come from food or supplements: 

  • Histidine 

  • Isoleucine 

  • Leucine 

  • Lysine 

  • Methionine 

  • Phenylalanine 

  • Threonine 

  • Tryptophan 

  • Valine 

11 Non-Essential Amino Acids 

Your body can usually synthesise these: 

  • Alanine 

  • Arginine (conditionally essential) 

  • Asparagine 

  • Aspartic acid 

  • Cysteine 

  • Glutamic acid 

  • Glutamine 

  • Glycine 

  • Proline 

  • Serine 

  • Tyrosine 

All 20 are included in this formula — no shortcuts. This matters because you don’t always know when your body’s struggling to make the non-essentials, especially during stress, illness, poor sleep or poor diet. That’s when this supplementation becomes a quiet game-changer. 

What does Amino Acid Supports 

  • Muscle repair and recovery after physical or emotional stress 

  • Neurotransmitter production, including dopamine and serotonin 

  • Focus and mental energy (L-Tyrosine and L-Glutamine are especially helpful here) 

  • Mood regulation and calm, thanks to taurine and methionine 

  • Immune resilience and detox pathways 

And because it’s in capsule form, there’s no mixing, no chalky taste, and no added sugar — just two capsules a day with water. 

Who are Amino Acid Supplements For? 

This is for anyone who wants to feel stronger, clearer, and more resilient — without relying on stimulants or guesswork. 

  • Adults with busy, stressful lives 

  • People with ADHD or brain fog 

  • Vegans or vegetarians with limited protein variety 

  • Perimenopausal and menopausal women maintaining muscle + mental sharpness 

  • Anyone recovering from illness, burnout, or intense physical activity
