Healing Power of Honey | Metabolic Intermediates
Hexapi Organic Honey contains only 0.3-0.8% protein and can be neglected as a protein source, but it contains a number of amino acids and other nitrogen compounds, which play a major role as starting substances for the formation of metabolic intermediates and catalysts. Proline, for example provides a ring structure for the haemoglobin formation. Phenylalanine and tyrosine provide the benzene ring, which is required for the formation of the stress hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline, and are involved in the formation of the thyroid hormones.
