Yes, amino acids are beneficial to strength athletes. But they are also important additions to a dietary supplement program for other reasons as well. Amino acids are considered the building blocks that comprise protein. Protein, it follows, cannot exist without the correct combination of amino acids. If any essential amino acid is low or missing, the effectiveness of all others will be proportionately reduced. In the body, adequate protein intake is vital for virtually everything from healthy muscles, ligaments, tendons, organs, glands, nails, hair and most body fluids. Besides water, protein comprises the largest portion of our body weight, and as such, the body's requirement for protein is directly related to good health. Additionally, the central nervous system cannot function properly without amino acids, which are necessary for the brain to both send and receive information. In fact, not only does every cell in the body contain protein, but protein makes up half of the body's dry weight. Protein is found in muscle, bone, cartilage and blood, as well as enzymes and hormones. Protein essentially allows muscles to contract and hold water, gives hair and skin a protective coating, and provides the rigid framework of bones and teeth. Protein also helps tissue form, regulates the body's water and acid-base balance, and stimulates the production of antibodies.
