Amino Acids There are 8 products.
Amino Acids are critical nutrients and vital for good health as they are the building blocks of protein. Protein is an essential component of every living cell in your body, building and repairing muscles, ligaments, tendons, organs, nails, hair and skin and bone growth. When you consume protein it is broken down in the stomach and intestines into amino acids and then used to build the specific proteins required by your body.
Amino Acids can be categorised as non-essential and essential. Non-essential amino acids are produced naturally by the body in the liver. Essential amino acids cannot be produced by the body and must be obtained through diet/supplementation. Essential amino acids include: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine.
The essential amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine are further referred to as Branch Chained Amino Acids, or BCAA's. Unlike the other amino acids, BCAA's are metablolised in the muscle and provide an anobolic (muscle growth) and anti-catabolic (muscle breakdown) effect on the body's muscles. Supplementation with BCAA's is essential for those seeking muscle growth as BCAA's account for 1/3 of muscle protein.
In terms of bodybuilding and weight training, amino acids are considered among the most improtant supplements as they directly aid muscle grwoth, muscle repair and muscle recovery.
