Why are the 22 amino acids essential?

22 amino acids including the 9 essential ones

Having all 22 amino acids is a very important health factor, along with the BCAA’s. Here are all 22 amino acids including the 9 essential ones:

*Valine, *Isoleucine, *Leucine, *Methionine, *Alanine, *Proline, *Glycine, *Phenylalanine, *Tyrosine, *Tryptophan, *Histidine, *Asparagine, *Glutamine, *Serine, Threonine, *Lysine, *Arginine, *Aspartic acid, *Glutamic acid, *Cysteine, *Hydroxyproline, *Pyroglutamic.

Essential amino acids can’t be made by your body and must be obtained through your diet. Lets take a look at the 9 essential ones and what they are good for:

*Phenylalaine- It plays an integral role in the structure and function of proteins and enzymes and the production of the other amino acids. *Valine (1 of 3 BCAA’s)- Valine helps stimulate muscle growth and regeneration and is involved in energy production. *Threonine- It is a principal part of structural proteins such as collagen and elastin. *Tryptophan- It is needed to maintain proper nitrogen balance and is a precursor to serotonin. *Methionine- Is necessary for tissue growth and the absorption of zinc and selenium. *Leucine (2 of 3 BCAA’s)- It is critical for protein synthesis and muscle repair. It also helps regulate blood sugar levels, stimulates wound healing and produces growth hormones. *Isoleucine (3 of 3 BCAA’s)- It is involved in muscle metabolism and is heavily concentrated in muscle tissue. Its also important for immune function, hemoglobin production and energy regulation. *Lysine- Plays major roles in protein synthesis, hormone and enzyme production and is also important for energy, immune function and the production of collagen and elastin. *Histidine- Is used to product histamine, a neurotransmitter that is vital to immune response, digestion, sexual function, and sleep-wake cycles.

This is why essential amino acid deficiencies can negatively impact your entire body including your nervous, reproductive, immune and digestive systems. Foods that contain all nine essential amino acids are referred to as complete proteins and those include: *Meat *Seafood *Poultry *Eggs *Dairy Products. It can also boost exercise performance, the BCAA’s are widely used to alleviate fatigue, improve authentic performance and stimulate muscle recovery after exercise.
