Our bodies consist of an estimated 37 trillion cells.  And, each of our cells is built from protein.   Protein, in turn, is made from building blocks called amino acids.  Amino acids are thus essential for the growth and the maintenance of every cell in our bodies.  Amino acids are critical for life, like the air that we breathe and the water that we drink. 

Indispensable amino acids (IAAs) are a group of amino acids that cannot be made by our bodies.  IAAs are generally obtained through the food that we eat and are essential for good health.   Diets which are chronically lacking in IAAs can diminish wellbeing.
