Amino Acids

What is Amino Acid?

Amino acids are organic molecules that contains amine and carboxyl functional groups. They are the basic building blocks used to make proteins and are therefore a core component of living organisms. We depend on dietary and supplementary intake of amino acids for our protein needs, proteins are assimilated based on the available amino acid pool, thus, intake of quality amino acids is very important for efficient protein synthesis. A combination of twenty amino acids forms the thousands of proteins the human body relies on every day.

Applications:

Nutritional Supplements, Cosmetic Products, Energy Drinks, Infant Nutrition, Animal Nutrition

​Why Are Amino Acids Important?

• Build Muscle

Muscles are made mainly from protein, which amino acids help build.

• Grow and Repair Tissue

Many amino acids, such as leucine and methionine, are used to grow and repair tissues. They’re important for healing wounds and injuries. 

• Make Hormones

Amino acids help make many hormones. For example, phenylalanine is needed to produce the hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine. Other amino acids play a role in making thyroid and growth hormones.

• Boost the Immune System

Amino acids are an important nutrient for immune cells. They’re needed for these cells to work properly.

• MakeBrain Chemicals

Certain amino acids, such as tryptophan and phenylalanine, are used to make important chemicals in the brain, called neurotransmitters. These include dopamine and serotonin, which can affect your mood, sleep, and appetite.

• Provide Energy

Although your body prefers to burn carbohydrates or fat for energy, it can use protein as needed. After breaking down protein, the amino acids supply energy.

• Support theDigestive System

Amino acids help keep your digestive system running. They fuel the membrane that lines the small intestine and help your gut make key proteins and chemicals.
