Amino acids are the molecular building blocks of proteins. Contained in many foods, and this is why are not prohibited. However, as with all supplements, you should check the labels carefully for other formulation components, which might be prohibited by the regulations of doping. There is no scientific evidence that diet supplementation with amino acids helps to increase athletic performance. The weightlifters usually consume various amino acids in their attempt to activate the release of growth hormone (GH) from the pituitary, which in turn will stimulate muscle growth. Amino acids have also been used to stimulate insulin release from the pancreas of another anabolic hormone, since facilitates the uptake of amino acids into muscle cells.

Amino acids are divided into two basic groups: essential and nonessential. Essential amino acids are those that the body cannot synthesize and must obtain them from food. In food, amino acids are in the form of proteins. The dietary protein consists of long chains of amino acids. During operation of digestion in the stomach and small intestine, the protein is cleaved into polypeptides and oligopeptides (short chains of amino acids) and then into individual amino acids. When the amino acids get into the blood basically used to rebuild the muscle cells and the production of enzymes necessary for the regulation of metabolism. A short-term lack of essential amino acids (a few days) does not cause health problems. If the lack of essential amino acids extended for longer, will surely show glitches.

The amino acids are referred to as components of protein synthesis. There are 22 amino acids. From those 22, eight are known as essential amino acids.

These eight amino acids are:

  • L- Leucine
  • L- Isoleucine
  • L- Lisini
  • L- Methionine
  • L- tryptophan
  • L- Valine
  • L- Phenylalanine
  • L-Threonine
