Amino Acids
Your body's building blocks
Amino acids are vital to your health because they are the building blocks of protein, which are the structural components of life. Amino acids are abundant in the body and, in fact, next to water, amino acids make up the greatest portion of your body weight. They comprise tendons, muscles, and ligaments; but they also comprise your organs, glands, hair, and nails. Amino acids are an essential part of every cell in your body, making them one of the most important nutrient classes.
