Yamamoto Nutrition Essential Amino - Food supplement of fermented essential amino acids.

What are essential amino acids (EAA)? Amino acids are organic molecules basically composed of both an amino group (NH2) and a carboxyl group (COOH), which, when joined together, form the primary structure of proteins. There are 20 amino acids which contribute to the formation of proteins and which are fundamental to the functioning of our body, to which 3 more have been discovered only recently. Of these 23 total amino acids, 8 are defined as essential. The term essential amino acids (from the English Essential Amino Acid – EAA) indicates those amino acids that the body is unable to synthesize by itself, or at least not at a rate commensurate with the metabolic demand. Therefore they must necessarily be introduced with food.

What are the essential amino acids? In the adult human being, there are 8 essential amino acids, and specifically they are: Lysine: present above all in milk, soy, beef, but almost absent in cereals, it is used for the formation of carnitine and vitamin B3. For athletes it is able to speed up post-workout recovery. Tryptophan: found in milk and dairy products, eggs, legumes, meat and fish. It is an important amino acid in protein synthesis, and represents the starting point in the synthesis of serotonin and niacin. Phenylalanine: found in most animal and vegetable proteins, therefore in meat, offal, fish, eggs and even brown rice. It is involved in many metabolic processes, also used as a "structural building block" of proteins, and participates in the formation of thyroid hormones. Threonine: found mainly in corn, soy, eggs, mushrooms, cod, pork, lamb, rabbit and veal. It is one of the most easily lacking amino acids in the vegan diet. It is a constituent of antibodies, and therefore plays a fundamental role in maintaining the immune system. Methionine: Found in dairy products, egg whites, sesame seeds, Brazil nuts, cod and soy protein. Methionine is the basis for the production of carnitine and cysteine, as well as creatine, taurine and vitamin B12. It has a chelating action on some heavy metals and, if present in sufficient quantities, it acidifies the pH of the urine. Leucine: Milk, corn, chicken and eggs are the main dietary sources of this amino acid. It plays an important role at the muscular level, and is an alternative energy source in case of intense sporting activity. Isoleucine: found mainly in corn, potatoes, chicken, eggs, peanuts, bresaola, lamb. It is closely linked to glucose requirements (it is in fact defined as a glucogenic and ketogenic amino acid), prevents the catabolism of structural proteins and promotes recovery after prolonged effort. Valine: they are rich in: albumen powder, soy proteins, Spirulina algae, dairy products and dairy products. It plays important roles especially in tissue reconstruction. Of these 8 EAAs, the last 3 described (Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine) are called BCAAs (from the English Branched Chain Amino Acid), or branched amino acids, united by the presence of a branched side chain. For subjects in the growth phase, a ninth amino acid is also included as essential: histidine.

What are essential amino acid supplements for? When nutrition alone is not sufficient to cover the needs or when the quantity of some foods is reduced, supplements represent very valid aids to meet the need for amino acids. On the market there are several: with different combinations of amino acids, with single amino acids or exclusively with combinations of branched chain amino acids, ideal for sportsmen. If you are looking for a supplement that contains all the amino acids, Essential AMINO is ideal: it not only contains them all, but also provides them in their ideal ratio.

What are the benefits of Essential AMINO? Our Essential AMINO: It is a product made up of amino acids from vegetable fermentation. Contains all 8 essential amino acids, in an optimal ratio to maximize bioavailability and minimize nitrogenous waste. It also features the amino acid l-histidine Provides the ratio of l-leucine, l-isoleucine, l-valine is 4:1:1. Therefore with a greater presence of l-leucine, a fundamental amino acid for protein synthesis. It is made in Italy. Like all Yamamoto® brand products,the quality is Made in Italy.
