Moriamin S-2 is a preparation containing essential and non-essential amino acids, glycine, and sorbitol. Amino acids are considered the building blocks of proteins, owing to their nitrogen content. They are necessary for the synthesis of important substances like neurotransmitters, hormones, and muscle fibers.
Essential amino acids cannot be synthesized by the human body and must be obtained through food such as meat and other sources of protein. Non-essential amino acids are normally obtained through a series of intracellular metabolic processes.
Moriamin S-2 is mainly indicated to treat the following conditions:
Moriamin S-2 is available as a parenteral solution for infusion. It is injected through the intravenous (IV) route and should not be taken as an oral solution. The dose must be administered slowly via IV infusion to minimize injection site irritation and adverse effects. It should be administered by a licensed health professional.

Each amino acid preparation is uniquely blended and designed to treat metabolic disorders, supplement nutritional requirements, or correct deficiencies. Moriamin S-2 may not be a suitable substitute for other amino acid solutions to treat a specific condition.
Moriamin S-2 contains sodium and chloride in addition to amino acids so careful monitoring of electrolyte balance is necessary when given with an electrolyte solution or in large doses.
