Essential Amino Acid Supplements - BCAA's

Whether you’re an athlete or couch potato, you could benefit from amino acid supplements. Often referred to as the building block of proteins, amino acids are needed for numerous vital processes including muscle recovery and growth

Essential and Non-Essential Amino Acids

Amino acids fall into two groups – essential and non-essential. While your body needs 20 different amino acids, only nine are considered essential since your body cannot make them on its own but must be obtained from your diet.

Essential amino acids include: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine. The best sources of these amino acids are meat, eggs and poultry.

You might also hear the term branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). This is a combination of three essential amino acids: isoleucine, leucine and valine. BCAAs help to build muscle and ease soreness.

Multi-Purpose Amino Acids

Amino acids play a role in just about every part of your body. Creatine supplements are helpful for muscle strength and L-Arginine supplements benefit heart health.
