Amino Acids

Amino acids in food make up protein. When protein is digested it is once again broken down into specific aminos, that are then selectively put together for different uses. These new proteins formed in the body are what make up most solid matter in the body: skin, eyes, heart, intestines, bones and, of course, muscle.

That’s why understanding what each of these aminos can do and getting more of them in your diet can be very beneficial to reaching specific goals, such as muscle building. Of course, one mustn’t exaggerate, because a good protein balance is what provides health and stability, without it any of the amino acids can become toxic.

Since aminos are the building blocks of protein, I’m you get some of them from your food, but with a western diet there are huge gaps. therefore it is of huge benefit to supplement with extra free form amino acids.
