A member asked:
Is it a good thing to take amino acid supplements?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No one knows: Rather than take supplements, eat real food. In this case, animal protein, eggs, beans/legumes, nuts & soy have a full complement of amino acids. So eat a variety of these foods. Check out http://choosemyplate.gov/food-groups/protein-foods.html.
