Essential amino acids (EAAs) are a group of nine amino acids that the human body cannot synthesize on its own and must be obtained through diet or supplementation. These amino acids are crucial for various physiological functions, including protein synthesis, tissue repair, nutrient absorption, and neurotransmitter production. The nine EAAs are histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. Deficiencies in one or more EAAs can lead to impaired growth, weakened immune function, and other health problems.
