The EAA, or Essential Amino Acids, refer to nine specific amino acids that the human body cannot produce on its own and must obtain from dietary sources. These include:

Histidine: Necessary for tissue growth and repair. It also helps protect nerve cells and aids in the maintenance of the immune system.

Isoleucine: A branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) that helps stimulate the immune system, regulate energy, and assist with wound healing.

Leucine: Another BCAA, it’s vital for protein synthesis and muscle repair, regulates blood sugar levels, and enhances growth hormone production.

Lysine: Helps in calcium absorption and collagen formation, crucial for bone, skin, and tissue health. It also contributes to producing antibodies for a robust immune system.

Methionine: It’s involved in the growth of new blood vessels, detoxification processes, and the production of sulfur-containing molecules in the body.

Phenylalanine: This amino acid plays a key role in the structure and function of proteins and enzymes and the production of other amino acids.

Threonine: It’s important for the healthy function of the central nervous system, the cardiovascular system, the liver, and the immune system.

Tryptophan: Known as a precursor for serotonin (a neurotransmitter), it can influence mood and support a healthy sleep cycle.

Valine: Yet another BCAA, valine aids in energy regulation, stimulates muscle growth and regeneration, and is involved in stress response.
