Amino Acids

Natural amino acids

Amino acids are organic compounds and building blocks of proteins. Some of them can be produced by the body itself, while the essential ones are supplied via the diet. Amino acids participate in many important life processes that occur in the human body every day. Proteins contribute to the growth of muscle mass and to its maintenance. In addition, proteins contribute to maintaining normal bones. Ekoplanet.se has a large range of natural and organic amino acids in various forms.

What are amino acids?

Amino acids are organic compounds and building blocks of proteins. There are 20 different amino acids that can be divided into two categories: Non-essential amino acids, that is, those that the body can produce itself, and Essential amino acids that must be supplied through the diet.

Our body needs proteins for many important processes. Proteins contributes to the maintenance of normal skeleton and also contributes to the growth of muscle mass and to its maintenance.

The non-essential amino acids include: Asparagine, Cysteine, Alanine, Glutamine, Proline, Aspartic Acid, Glycine, Serine Glutamic Acid/Glutamate and Tyrosine.

The essential amino acids that must be supplied through the diet are: Phenylalanine, Methionine, Arginine, Lysine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Threonine, Leucine, Valine and Tryptophan

The proteins we eat are broken down into amino acids in the gut before they are absorbed into the body and used as building blocks for new proteins.

Sources of amino acids in the diet - products rich in protein that should be part of a balanced diet

Products containing amino acids are: meat, fish, eggs, milk and dairy products, cereal products, legumes, nuts, almonds and bananas.

Vegetarian and vegan diets have a beneficial effect on health, but abstaining from meat and animal products can in some cases lead to too low levels of amino acids in the body. It is difficult to maintain this level by not eating main sources of amino acids. To avoid possible deficiencies of amino acids in the body, it is worth taking supplements. Amino acid supplements are available in different forms, tablets, liquid form, capsules or in powder.

Which amino acids are useful during training?

Among other things, amino acids are important for muscle building. Therefore, many people who exercise, especially those who lift heavy, take nutritional supplements with them. It is recommended to take the essential amino acids especially leucine, valine and isoleucine. They accelerate muscle regeneration, reduce the feeling of fatigue, block catabolism and build muscle mass. Just don't forget that a balanced diet and recovery as well as sleep are an important part of performing at your maximum.

Food supplements with amino acids

There is a large variety of dietary supplements with amino acids. They are usually mainly sold in the form of capsules and powder.

Some of the most common are:

BCAA (Branched Chained Amino Acids) is a type of dietary supplement that contains isoleucine, leucine and valine. These three amino acids are believed to be among the most important for protein synthesis.

EAA

EAA (Essential Amino Acids) is another type of supplement. As the name suggests, these supplements contain all the essential amino acids at once. The essential acids are considered important for optimizing muscle growth.

Glutamine

The amino acid glutamine is often connected with building and reduced breakdown of muscles.

Dietary supplements are usually a supplement to the balanced and varied diet. Recovery and sleep are also important for your health.
