I previously had made estimates for mg/kg per day requirements in humans for all the nonessential amino acids, based upon data showing the average dosages of such nonessential amino acids recommended by supplements manufacturers. The total for all the essential and nonessential amino acids thus came to 418 mg/kg-body-weight per day. Yet still I felt unsatisfied with the estimates I had come up with for individual nonessential amino acids, which were sometimes weird, due to strange estimates of consumption requirements made be a minority of supplement-merchants.

 

Looking to refine my ability to estimate nonessential amino acid requirements both in normal and high-exertion physical states of the human body, I found that given an overall consumption of 418 mg per kg-body-weight per day of amino acids (total both essential and nonessential), the World Health Organization mg/kg-body-weight/day recommended dosages for an individual essential amino acid, as a percentage of 418 mgs, corresponds very closely to the presence of the given essential amino acid in terms of its weight as a percentage of total amino acid weight in the human body. 

 

 For example, the total weight of valine in the human body, is (according to my calculations and extrapolations)  6.2% of the total weight of amino acids (essential and nonessential combined) in the human body, and 6.2% of 418 mgs, is 26 mgs, which is the 2007 WHO recommended daily mg/kg intake of Valine.

 

This indicates that. in general terms, I can estimate the requirement for any amino acid through:

 

( weight of ( _____ an amino acid) in body, divided by total weight of all amino acids in body ) times ( _____ my estimate for total mg/kg intake of all essential and nonessential amino acids combined).

 

There was it seemed, something very strange about the math involved in this, the 'coincidence(?)' with the 418 is only the beginning.

 

What I found to be mystifying and perhaps profound, is that if I multiplied the numbers representing the WHO health organization mg/kg-body-weight recommendations as a percentage of 418 mg by a constant, either 0.9 or 1.087, to change each of these numbers by the same percentage, either way, the numbers changed so as to increase their total divergence from the numbers representing the incidence of each of the amino acids in the body in terms of  the weight of a specific amino acid in the human body, as a percentage of the weight of all amino acids in the human body.

 

Beyond belief and far out!

 

It would require a man with a stronger mind than I am able to muster at right this minute, to fully appreciate and explain the profundity that I suspect is involved in this mathematical phenomenon.
