Amino acids are the building blocks of protein in the body. Amino acids are essential for the synthesis of structural proteins like muscle tissue, organs, skin and hair; enzymes; some hormones; and neurotransmitters. Amino acids are also involved in numerous metabolic pathways that affect exercise metabolism.
Amino acids are the only nutrients that contain the essential nitrogen element. Carbohydrate and fats do not contain nitrogen. Nitrogen is an essential element for maintaining and increasing lean muscle mass. In order for an anabolic (building) state to occur intra-muscular nitrogen balance must be positive. At times when nitrogen levels may be low i.e. post exercise, the body is in a catabolic (degenerative) state. When nitrogen levels are elevated the body can achieve an anabolic state. The need for amino acids in the diet is critical to lean muscle developments. Too little dietary protein will hinder muscular development and may contribute to other health complications.
