Vitally important for life, amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, linking together through peptide bonds. Depending on their type, they form various polypeptides and proteins. Alongside water, amino acids in the form of proteins make up the second largest portion of body weight.
There are twenty amino acids, but the human body absolutely needs 9 of them since it cannot synthesize them. These are called essential amino acids and include histidine, leucine, isoleucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.
The remaining amino acids can be synthesized in the human body and are called non-essential amino acids. However, because this process is quite complex and time-consuming, it is preferable to ensure that all amino acids are included in your diet or nutritional supplements.
