  1. Non-essential amino acid.


  2. Non-essential amino acids can be synthesized from our body.

    Essential amino acids are not synthesized from our body.

    "Of the 20 standard proteinogenic amino acids, 8 are called essential amino acids because the human body cannot synthesize them from other compounds at the level needed for normal growth, so they must be obtained from food." [Wikipedia]

  3. As far as your body is concerned, there are two different types of amino acids: essential and non-essential. Non-essential amino acids are amino acids that your body can create out of other chemicals found in your body. Essential amino acids cannot be created, and therefore the only way to get them is through food. Here are the different amino acids:

    Non-essential

        * Alanine (synthesized from pyruvic acid)

        * Arginine (synthesized from glutamic acid)

        * Asparagine (synthesized from aspartic acid)

        * Aspartic Acid (synthesized from oxaloacetic acid)

        * Cysteine

        * Glutamic Acid (synthesized from oxoglutaric acid)

        * Glutamine (synthesized from glutamic acid)

        * Glycine (synthesized from serine and threonine)

        * Proline (synthesized from glutamic acid)

        * Serine (synthesized from glucose)

        * Tryosine (synthesized from phenylalanine)

    Essential

        * Histidine

        * Isoleucine

        * Leucine

        * Lysine

        * Methionine

        * Phenylalanine

        * Threonine

        * Tryptophan

        * Valine  

  4. Essential amino acid
