What are amino acids?Updated 6 months ago

Amino acids are organic compounds that contain amino and carboxylic acid. They are the building blocks of protein, and are essentially how protein exists outside of a food state. There are nine essential amino acids, which must be consumed for the body to obtain them. There are also eleven non-essential amino acids, which the body produces itself. When protein is consumed, our body digests it by breaking protein down into amino acids which are then absorbed into the body.
