Amino Acids are protein building blocks and proteins are the
building blocks of life itself. There are 20 which are crucial
to human heath, relating to growth, repair, and maintenance of
body tissues. Nine of these amino acids are considered essential
and required through proper nutrition, which will enable the
body to produce the required protein. These are: leucine,
isoleucine, valine, lysine, threonine, tryptophan, methionine,
phenylalanine and histidine. The eleven non-essential amino
acids are arginine, alanine, asparagine, aspartic acid,

symptoms of many conditions, thus used therapeutically. Many
with chronic health conditions often have deficiencies of both
essential & non-essential amino acids. Conditions and symptoms
such as, Allergies, Ulcers, Anemia, O
