Amino acids are organic compounds that combine to form proteins. Amino acids and proteins are the building blocks of life.
When proteins are digested or broken down, amino acids run out. The human body USES amino acids to produce proteins to help the body:
Breaking down food and repairing body tissuescarrying out many other body functions
The body can also use amino acids as an energy source.
Amino acids are classified into three groups:
Essential amino acids conditional non-essential amino acids
Essential amino acids
Essential amino acids cannot be made by the body. Consequently, they must come from food. The 9 essential amino acids are histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, trypphane, and valine.
Non-essential amino acids
Nonessential means that our bodies produce an amino acid, even if we don't get it from the food we eat. Non-essential amino acids include: alanine, arginine, artic artic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, proline, serine, and tyrosine.
Conditional amino acids
Conditional amino acids are usually not essential, except in times of illness and stress. Conditional amino acids include: arginine, cysteine, glutamine, tyrosine, glycine, ornithine, proline, and serine.
You do not need to ingest amino acid
