What are non-essential amino acids?

A non-essential amino acid is an amino acid that your body can create on its own. There are 11 non-essential amino acids: alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, proline, serine, and tyrosine.

What is a free-form amino acid?

A free-form amino acid is an unbonded amino acid that is more efficiently absorbed by the body.
