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 are micronized free-form amino acids?
