Amino Acids

Amino Acids are the basic building blocks of life and what proteins are built from. You can actually imagine your muscles as very large pools of amino acid reserves, the tiny 'bricks' of your muscular build. The vast majority of your amino acid needs will come from adequate protein intake from both whole foods and protein supplements. However there are certain specialised form amino acids that may be of benefit to you. Amino Acid supplements also provide few to zero calories so can be an especially useful addition to a low calorie diet.
