What are Amino Acids?

Amino acids are the fundamental components of proteins, serving as the building blocks of life. They are organic compounds that contain nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, playing a central role in protein formation and cellular function. The body uses amino acids to construct proteins that support growth, repair tissues and carry out essential biochemical reactions. Beyond protein synthesis, amino acids play a role in neurotransmitter function, hormone production and metabolic regulation.

What are the Benefits of Amino Acids?

Amino acids play a crucial role in muscle repair and metabolic processes. They aid in protein synthesis, helping to build and maintain muscle mass, especially after exercise or injury. Some amino acids also support brain health by contributing to neurotransmitter production, which influences mood, cognition and stress response. Additionally, amino acids regulate hormone levels, improve nutrient absorption and enhance overall recovery, making them essential for maintaining peak physical and mental performance.

Essential vs. Non-Essential Amino Acids: What’s the Difference?

The body relies on essential amino acids from food because it cannot produce them on its own. These nine amino acids, including leucine, lysine and tryptophan, are necessary for muscle repair, metabolism and overall health. Non-essential amino acids, like glutamine and glycine, are produced by the body but still play key roles in tissue repair, digestion and immune function. In times of illness or stress, conditionally essential amino acids, such as arginine and cysteine, become more necessary to support recovery and cellular health.
