amino acids‚ 8 are classified as essential amino acids. The body finds it hard to combine them with other compounds at a normal level to assist in adequate growth. The 8 are known as phenylalanine‚ valine‚ threonine‚ tryptophan‚ isoleucine‚ methionine‚ leucine‚ and lysine. When the isoleucine‚ leucine‚ and valine are grouped they are called BCAA or branched-chain amino acids. 1/3 of the body’s skeletal muscles are made up of BCAA. Skeletal muscles are essential when the body moves. So they help
