Market Insight

An amino acid is a type of molecule used by all humans, it fulfills the requirement of protein in the body. The human body needs 20 different amino acids out of which nine amino acids are called essential amino acids. Essential amino acids must be consumed through food. The amino acids link together with peptide bonds and become proteins so, proteins are formed with long chains of amino acids. Amino acids are considered to be the building blocks of polypeptides and proteins. Amino commonly acts as monomers to form larger molecules. Some nonessential amino acids are classified as conditionally essential. These amino acids are essential only under a specific condition, such as during illness, pregnancy, infancy, or trauma.
