Amino acids: The building blocks of good health
|
Most people have heard of amino acids as "the building blocks of protein."
But that description hardly does them justice. In fact, that phrase and several other terms used in discussions about amino acids have created considerable confusion about these vitally important substances.
A clarification of terms "Essential" vs. "non-essential." For example, eight of the 28 existing amino acids are described as "essential" for adults (in children, the number is 10). In this case, though, the term essential is a bit misleading; actually, all the amino acids are essential - as in an "important ...
