Indispensable Guide to Amino Acids
The What and Why of Essential Amino Acids
The Critical Role Indispensable Amino Acids Play in Wellness
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.

Defying Aging
Preventing frailty and the downward slide
Millions fall and tens of thousands die as a result of falls each year. Frailty, a geriatric syndrome characterized by increased vulnerability across multiple health domains, is complicit in the increased risk of falls. And, Osteosarcopenia induced frailty increases the likelihood of falls, injury, disability, hospitalization, and death among adults [1] [2]. Tens of thousands of U.S. adults, over the age of 65, die after falling each year.
Osteosarcopenia primarily affects seniors and refers to the presence of both low bone mass (osteopenia/osteoporosis) and low muscle mass/function (sarcopenia) within the same individual. In this article, we focus on the detection and physical mobility aspects of Osteosarcopenia caused frailty and on the role that Indispensable Amino Acids (IAAs) may play in helping to defy this aging-related condition.
