Essential Amino Acids (EAAs)

Your body cannot, however, produce essential amino acids (EAAs). Just like the EFAs, adding the word essential means you need to get them from the food you eat. The Prot-EFA™ Powder formula contains numerous amino acids, including all of the essential amino acids. Not many foods or supplements currently on the market can make this claim.

There are 8 essential amino acids:
- Lysine
- Methionine
- Phenylalanine
- Threonine
- Tryptophan
- Isolucine *
- Lucine * .............*Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs)
- Valine *

These 8 EAAs are some of the 22 overall different amino acids. We’ll never ask you to take a test on this, but we have highlighted for you each of the 8 EAAs and what they do for your body:

Lysine helps maintain lean body mass. People on low meat or meat free diets may be deficient of this amino acid. It is used in the production of hormones, enzymes, and antibodies.

Methionine is responsible for energy production and is required for building muscle and breaking down fats in your body.

Phenylalanine helps in mood elevation and with neurotransmitter support.
Threonine helps your immune system produce antibodies. It also aids liver function and helps combat fatty liver.

Tryptophan is used to produce the neurotransmitter serotonin. It helps with weight loss and has been used for appetite reduction.

Isolucine is one of the three branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). It helps regulate blood sugar levels and is needed to form hemoglobin.

Lucine is also a branched chain amino acid. It aids in the regulation of blood sugar and the growth and repair of muscle tissue.

Valine is the final BCAA. It is needed for the repair and growth of tissue.

We dare you to compare Prot-EFA’s label to the competition!
