Essential amino acids (EAAs) encompass the eight amino acids that are vital for the body, as they cannot be synthesized internally. Indeed, EAAs contribute directly to enhancing athletic performance; they help reduce muscle catabolism, improve recovery, and promote muscle growth. These benefits are advantageous for both strength and endurance athletes. This amino mix notably includes leucine, isoleucine, and valine (BCAAs), which are well-known among bodybuilding practitioners. The other essential amino acids are phenylalanine, tryptophan, threonine, methionine, lysine, and histidine.
