Amino Acid Supplementation

Meaning

Amino Acid Supplementation involves the exogenous intake of specific essential, non-essential, or conditionally essential amino acids in concentrated forms to support particular physiological functions. These foundational building blocks of protein are critical for muscle protein synthesis, neurotransmitter production, hormone creation, and numerous metabolic pathways. Strategic supplementation is employed to correct dietary insufficiencies, support recovery from catabolic states, or enhance the synthesis of specific regulatory molecules, thereby optimizing overall physiological function.
