Alanine

is a non-essential amino acid that plays a key role in the energy-producing process of cells.

Arginine


is a semi-essential amino acid involved in multiple physiological processes, including immune function and wound healing.

Asparagine

is a non-essential amino acid crucial for the synthesis of proteins and the functioning of the nervous system.


Aspartic acid

s a non-essential amino acid that plays a vital role in the urea cycle and in the synthesis of other amino acids.


Cysteine

is a semi-essential amino acid necessary for the formation of proteins and important for maintaining cellular structure.


Glutamic acid

is a non-essential amino acid involved in neurotransmission and the regulation of acid-base balance in the body.


Glutamine

is a conditionally essential amino acid crucial for immune function, intestinal health, and protein synthesis.


Glycine

is the simplest non-essential amino acid and serves as a building block for proteins and other important molecules in the body.


Proline

is a non-essential amino acid known for its structural role in proteins, particularly in collagen, and for its contribution to cellular metabolism.

Serine

is a non-essential amino acid involved in the synthesis of proteins, neurotransmitters, and other important molecules in the body.


Tyrosine

is a non-essential amino acid precursor to neurotransmitters and hormones crucial for mood regulation, cognition, and stress response.


Isoleucine

is an essential amino acid necessary for protein synthesis and energy regulation, particularly in muscle tissue.

Leucine

is an essential amino acid known for its role in protein synthesis and as a regulator of muscle protein metabolism.


Lysine

is an essential amino acid vital for protein synthesis, collagen formation, and the maintenance of bone health.

Methionine

is an essential amino acid required for protein synthesis and serves as a precursor for various important molecules in the body.


Phenylalanine

is an essential amino acid that serves as a precursor for neurotransmitters and is involved in protein synthesis and various metabolic pathways.


Threonine

is an essential amino acid necessary for protein synthesis, immune function, and the maintenance of proper protein structure.


Tryptophan

is an essential amino acid precursor to serotonin and melatonin, and it plays a crucial role in mood regulation, sleep, and immune function.

Valine

is an essential amino acid involved in protein synthesis, energy production, and tissue repair, particularly in muscle tissue.
