Amino acids are the organic molecules that combine to form proteins. These compounds contain both an amino and carboxylic functional group. There are 500 amino acids that have been identified in nature, in which only 20 amino acids are found in the human body which make up the proteins.   These 20 amino acids are classified into 2 groups. They are:   1. Essential amino acids : These amino acids are not found in our body and we take it through our diet. There are 9 essential amino acids which are histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, threonine, and valine .   Valine, leucine, and isoleucine are branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) because they have a molecular structure with branch. The BCAAs are burned by our muscles for energy. They can also be taken as a supplement and in some cases; health care providers deliver it intravenously (IV). 2. Non-essential amino acids: These amino acids are found in our body and need not to be taken throug
