Frequently Asked Questions  

What are EAAs?

Essential amino acids (EAAs) are amino acids that the body can’t produce enough of on its own, including leucine, isoleucine, valine, histidine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, and tryptophan. EAAs support muscle growth and recovery.

What does “bioavailable” mean?

Bioavailability is the measure of the amount of a nutrient used by the body on a cellular level after ingestion.

Think of protein and amino acids as hand-in-hand. Proteins form the building blocks that keep you healthy. Amino acids? They’re the building blocks for proteins. You need both. In humans, protein is composed of 20 amino acids, and the body can only produce some of them. The rest need to come from food or supplements, and these kinds of amino acids are called "essential". The Pure Encapsulations Essential Aminos formula uses essential amino acids from high biological value protein sources.These are the essential amino acids your body cannot produce on its own. Proper intake of essential amino acids is important for the synthesis, repair, and metabolism of muscle, cells, and tissues.

L-glutamine is an essential amino acid and one of the building blocks of protein. When the body experiences a glutamine deficit, it can break down protein stores—like muscles—to get more of it.

Adding The Vitamin Shoppe^® brand L-Glutamine to your supplement stack can support protein synthesis and muscle recovery so you can keep flexing on your wellness goals.
