Essential amino acids cannot be made by the human body. You must get them from complete protein foods or combos of incomplete vegetable foods. There are 9 essential amino acids: histidine, isoleucine, phenylalaine, lysine, methionine, leucine, valine, and tryptophan. Your body can make non-essential amino acids by itself from vitamins and other amino acids. The essential branched chain amino acids (BCAA's) are of special importance for athletes because they are metabolized in the muscle, rather than in the liver. Here's how it works: After digestion once protein is broken down into individual amino acids these aminos can either be used to build new proteins or be burned as fuel to provide energy.
