Made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, amino acids are the building blocks of protein. There are only 20 types of amino acids, but they make up as many as 100,000 different kinds of proteins in the human body. As nutrients, they have many functions in our bodies, and are indispensable for cell, brain, and bone development. With benefits for: preventing the loss of muscle mass; stress; the healing process; mood and sleep; anti-inflammation and calcium absorption, amino acids are part of our routine without us realizing it, because they are in large quantities in foods such as pork, chicken, and beef, fish such as salmon, grouper, tuna, and sardines.
