Solgar Amino 75 Essential Amino Acids is a Vegan formula containing amino acids which are essential for human health. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are needed in several internal functions of the body. They are classified as \"essential\" or \"non-essential\", with essential amino acids meaning they cannot be manufactured by the body and must be supplied in the diet to maintain good all-round health. Amino acids can be further used by the body to create hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters, antibodies and nutrient carriers. A suboptimal intake of the essential amino acids increases the body\'s need for the non-essential amino acids either through diet or supplementation. Foods that increase amino acid intake are meat, beans, cheese and eggs. Solgar Amino 75 Essential Amino Acids combines the 8 essential amino acids L-Lysine, L-Leucine, L-Phenylalanine, L-Valine, L-Methionine, L-Histidine, L-Isoleucine and L-Threonine for a holistic approach giving you the full spectrum of these essential protein building blocks. This comprehensive once a day formula is encapsulated in easy to swallow vegetable capsules. All Solgar products meet our industry recognized \"Gold Standard\" for excellence. Made using naturally sourced ingredients and innovating since 1947, Solgar is your perfect supplement to good health - 98% of Solgar consumers recommend the brand
