You might have already guessed that amino acids can’t be naturally produced by the body and will have to be taken through external means. In most cases, people will take an amino acid supplement to make sure they’re covering all bases at once and getting all 8 of the amino acids all at once.
This doesn’t mean that you can just take all of the supplements you find in your pharmacy and forget about eating healthy. You will still need to follow a healthy diet if you are taking supplements, and there are plenty of foods that are very high in amino acids; start off with any foods that are naturally high in protein, such as dairy products, beans, red meat, soy and certain types of fish.
If you aren’t sure how to approach your diet and get all of the good stuff, then make an appointment with your nutrition specialist to discuss what changes can be made in your diet.
