Description: Amino acids are building blocks of proteins; they contain an amino and a carboxyl group. Essential amino acids cannot be produced in the body (histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, l-Phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine) and must be taken from diet or supplements. Other amino acids are non-essential amino acids and they can be produced in the body.
