Amino Acids
Amino Acids are the building blocks from which proteins are made. There are 22 so far identified and they can be linked together to form more than 50,000 different proteins. The body continuously breaks down any proteins eaten into amino-acid complexes and free amino acids, which then recombines to form whatever proteins it needs to maintain your body. Amino acids supply the raw materials for maintaining the genetic code (DNA), repairing damaged muscle tissue, cell division, making enzymes, building new connective tissue and making hormones and neurotransmitters.
