When Protein is digested it is broken down into a number
of amino acids, and the body cannot use the protein you ingest unless
all of the necessary amino acids are present. Non essential amino acids
(Alanine, Arginine,
Aspartic Acid, Cysteine, Glutamic Acid, Glutamine, Glycine, Histidine,
Lyrosine, Proline, Serine, Taurine and Tyrosine) are those
amino acids that are synthesized in most cases by the liver from essential amino acids (Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methinonine,
Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan and Valine). Don't be
fooled by the term Non essential... These amino acids are vital for a
health body. Amino acids in combination with other nutrients play vital
roles within the body, every thing from hair growth to Human Growth
Hormone release. Each of the non essential amino acids serves a
specific purpose. Learn more about each by clicking on the links below.

The importance of protein supplementation is critical to
any individual looking to build and maintain muscle mass. Protein has
been called "the building blocks of life," and without proper protein
supplementation the task of building and maintaining muscle mass is
next to impossible. The biggest problem that's faced with the
consumption of protein by way of whole foods is mostly convenience. I
like to take my protein or meal replacement with me to the gym and mix
it up after my work out to get my post work out meal. It is of vital
importance to get nutrients into your blood stream as quickly as
possible after your work out to optimize your size and strength gains.
By using protein supplements you quickly consume and digest needed
amounts of proteins to help you grow and recover from your workout.
