Amino Acids

There are 22 amino acids in total and each one has a different purpose and fills a particular need in the body. They are placed into 2 different categories essential and nonessential.
There are 8 essential amino acids and they are essential because they are not produced in the body so they have to be obtained from an outside source (food, supplements, etc.).
There are 14 Non-essential Amino Acids. These amino acids are produced in the body making it un-essential that we consume them in foods.
