Sometimes referred to as the building blocks of protein, amino acids are organic compounds that our body uses to help form protein. A lot of our amino acid intake comes from the foods we eat, and if our diet isn’t rich in protein, we may not be receiving enough essential amino acids and should probably consider nutritional supplements.

Proper amino acid levels are important for:

• Building muscle and promoting post-workout recovery
• Supporting healthy tissue and muscle development
• Promoting healthy circulatory and cardiovascular systems
• Supporting healthy nervous and endocrine systems
• Promoting healthy energy production
