Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which can be classified into several groups based on the extent to which our body can synthesize them. We distinguish between essential amino acids (EAA), which our body cannot produce or cannot produce sufficiently, and which must therefore be supplied from external sources. Conditionally essential amino acids (CAAs) are those that our body cannot produce in sufficient quantities under certain circumstances. The third group of amino acids are non-essential (NAA), because our body can synthesise them from essential amino acids.

A varied and balanced diet can ensure that our body gets the amino acids it needs. The amino acid profile of the product is derived from whey protein concentrate and sodium caseinate, and the formula is also enriched with L-glutamine.

Amino 5600 contains all the essential amino acids, including branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine. In addition to these, conditionally essential and non-essential amino acids complete the active ingredient content of the product.
