Because it can sometimes be difficult to get all the essential amino acids, these capsules with amino acids can offer a solution.
These Amino Acids of The Health Factory is a unique product of its kind, because of the 8 essential amino acids that are in the capsules. The product is completely vegan. Of the 22 existing amino acids, 8 are essential. This means that your body cannot produce them itself. Because it can sometimes be difficult to get all the essential amino acids, for example from a plant-based diet, or a diet rich in carbohydrates, an amino acid supplement can provide a solution.
Proteins in our body are built from a number of "building blocks", which we call amino acids. These amino acids are in turn built from even smaller building blocks: carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and sometimes sulphur. There are approximately 22 amino acids, with which countless combinations can be formed. As a result, there are thousands of proteins that are important for our body. Amino acids are built up into proteins according to a certain arrangement. This is called the structure of the protein.
Why Amino Acids?
The Amino acids are hydrolyzed (for absorption) and free of additives, fragrances and flavors. The capsules are suitable for athletes, people with a vegan lifestyle and for a plant-based or carbohydrate-rich diet.
The Health Factory packages its products in high-quality dark violet glass, which only allows infrared and ultraviolet UVA light to pass through. This gives the product a much longer shelf life and vitalizes it.
