WHY DO YOU NEED AMINO ACIDS?

Amino acids are the building blocks of one of our fundamental nutrients, proteins, commonly found everywhere in human body. There are some amino acids that the human body can produce (non-essential amino acids), whereas the amino acids that belong to the other group (essential amino acids) are taken in with food. From all the different amino acids, only 20 contribute to the shaping of the structure of proteins. Amino acids are vital to all bodily functions such as digestion, liver function or wound healing. Amino acids maintain skin, ligaments, muscles, tendons, internal organs, glands, hair and nails. They also contribute to the production of hormones, neurotransmission compounds and enzymes. Besides, they also serve as a source of energy, as well as a carbohydrate and lipid-producing nutrient. The richest source of basic amino acids are foods of animal origin, and plant-derived foods often do not contain all the amino acids.

BRANCHED-CHAIN AMINO ACIDS

BCAAs, that is, branched-chain amino acids, consist of three amino acids: valine, isoleucine and leucine, all of which are especially important for building muscles. Valine is a source of energy for the muscles, and it also greatly contributes to cell metabolism. Isoleucine is an amino acid required for hemoglobin production, and it also contributes to recovery. Leucine contributes to the recovery of bones, skin and muscles, and it is also capable of increasing protein absorption in itself. The three amino acids constituting BCAAs greatly enhance each other’s effect on building muscles and energising, and they have a natural, specific proportion in muscles.
