Amino acids are the subunits that make up proteins. They are essential for all cell function, tissue repair, and the production of enzymes and neurotransmitters. The body uses 20 amino acids to build proteins, but nine “essential amino acids” cannot be manufactured by the human body and must be supplied in the diet to achieve adequate protein synthesis and maintain overall health. Individuals with restricted diets or digestive issues may not obtain sufficient amounts of essential amino acids from their diet. Unlike proteins or peptide-formed amino acids, NOW® Sports Amino-9 Essentials™ provides all 9 essential amino acids in an efficient free form and in the proportions recommended by the National Academy of Sciences to optimize protein synthesis and tissue repair for adults 19 years and older.
