Every cell in the body requires amino acids. The digestive system breaks down protein in foodstuffs into their separate constitute parts known as amino acids, these are then recombined within the body to create the various specific protein structures the body requires to maintain itself.

High doses of certain amino acids can cause:

Those with kidney or liver disease especially, should not consume high intakes of amino acids without first consulting their health professional.

There are 20 amino acids that are relevant to the make-up of mammalian proteins. Other amino acids are found in the body  these perform specialised functions. Some of the amino acids found in proteins also serve functions distinct from the formation of peptides and proteins

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), are amino acids having aliphatic side-chains that are non-linear. They are leucine, isoleucine and valine. The combination of these three essential amino acids make up approximately 1/3 of skeletal muscle in the human body, and play an important role in protein synthesis.

Amino Acids maintain and repair:

Amino Acids are involved in the production of:

A poor diet, more so one with a low protein content, will result in amino acid deficiency.

Other causes may be:

Note

As with all supplements Amino Acids should not be supplemented without obtaining professional advice.

Classification:                                                                         

Essential Amino Acids - unable to be manufactured by the body, therefore are needed to be supplied to the body through the diet

Non Essential Amino Acids - this does not mean that the body  doesn't require them, it’s because the body is able to manufacture them (in some cases they may have to be supplemented.)

Other Amino Acids - can be manufactured from other amino acids. Some are not essentially an amino acid but are classified as such due to their close structural sameness.
