Good day. can i take aminno acid without doctors consent. is there any side effect when i take this supplement? thanks a lot.

Not usually: Amino acids are just the building blocks to proteins. Whenever you eat protein, your body will break them down to amino acids. The supplements should be reasonably safe, but as with anything, overdoing them could be toxic.
