Detailed explanation-1: -Essential amino acids cannot be made by the body. As a result, they must come from food. The 9 essential amino acids are: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Humans can produce 10 of the 20 amino acids. The others must be supplied in the food. Failure to obtain enough of even 1 of the 10 essential amino acids, those that we cannot make, results in degradation of the body’s proteins-muscle and so forth-to obtain the one amino acid that is needed.
Detailed explanation-3: -Your body needs 20 different amino acids to grow and function properly. While all 20 of these are important for your health, only 9 are classified as essential ( 1 ). These are histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.
