Introduction: Amino acids are the building blocks for skeletal muscle as well as digestive enzymes, hormones, antibodies and other body proteins necessary for optimal functioning. Of the 20 amino acids in the body, there are two types: essential and non-essential. There are eight essential amino acids including — Couping Reagents,Pyridine,Pyrimidine,Imidazole ,Indole ,QuinolineFuran,Thiazole. The term essential is used because the body cannot synthesize these amino acids, making it necessary to obtain them from the diet. The twelve non-essential amino acids are equally important, but most of the time can be synthesized in the body at a rate that equals demand so dietary intake is not as crucial. Complete proteins include all of the essential amino acids, and are considered higher quality proteins. Animal proteins (including dairy, poultry, eggs, beef, and pork) and soy protein (plant protein) are considered complete proteins. Incomplete proteins are missing one or more of the essential amino acids, and are therefore characterized as lower quality proteins. Eating a variety of animal and plant sources of protein is the best way to obtain all essential amino acids in the diet.

Of particular interest to endurance athletes are the amino acids, valine, leucine, isoleucine and glutamine.  The Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA’s), valine, leucine and isoleucine, are metabolized differently than other amino acids. During prolonged exercise, BCAA’s are taken up by the skeletal muscle rather than the liver in order to contribute to energy production (oxidative metabolism). Making up one third of the muscle amino acid pool, BCAA’s can become quickly depleted with exhaustive endurance exercise.
