Amino acids are included in the structure of muscles and cells. There are 20 amino acids of importance for human biochemistry. The 8 are called essential amino acids. The individual amino acids are vital nutrients that are essential for the body.

The amino acids via diet come from both plants and animals. We have to get them through our food as we do not produce them ourselves. The individual proteins are built up as a complex network of hundreds of amino acids that are linked into basic units called peptides. Two amino acids bind to a dipeptide, three to a tripeptide, four to a tetrapeptide, and many amino acids bound to form a polypeptide. Numerous polypeptides together form a protein. Our food proteins also have this structure in a dense and complicated network consisting of a very large number of amino acids.

Twenty percent of the body is made up of protein. However, in order for the organism to utilize the amino acids bound to the protein, it is essential that they be completely released from one another. A prerequisite for achieving this is that we are able to fully digest the protein we consume so that it is completely broken down into its molecular constituents, ie. amino acids. With few exceptions, only free amino acids can be taken up and used by the organism.
