Amino acids are best known for their central function as building blocks of proteins. Amino acids are required for the formation of all tissues, i.e. bones, muscles, skin, blood vessels, organs, etc. They are essential for a functioning immune system. They are essential for a functioning immune system, are components of DNA, hormones and enzymes and, as building blocks of neurotransmitters, also act individually as important signaling substances in the brain. Some amino acids are essential, meaning that, like vitamins, they cannot be produced by the body but can be obtained through diet or supplementation. Amino acids are generally best absorbed when taken on an empty stomach.
