What are Amino Acids?
Amino acids, often referred to as the building blocks of proteins, are compounds that play many critical roles in our bodies.
Our bodies needs 20 different amino acids to grow and function properly.
While all 20 of these are important for our health, only 9 are classified as essential
Although our bodies can make nonessential amino acids, it cannot make essential amino acids, so we have to get them from our diet.
All nine essential amino acids perform important roles in our bodies. They’re involved in many processes, including tissue growth, energy production, immune function, and nutrient absorption.
