Amino Acids — protein building blocks for an active and balanced life

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and essential components for normal body function. They participate in building muscles, tissues and enzymes, and in many biochemical processes in the body. Puhdas+ amino acid selection contains high-quality individual amino acids as food supplements, suitable for both athletes and supporting everyday wellbeing.

L-glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body, found especially in muscle tissue. It is popular for supporting post-workout recovery. L-arginine is a semi-essential amino acid that the body uses to produce nitric oxide. Taurine is a sulphonic amino acid found naturally in muscle and brain tissue and participates in several regulatory processes in the body.

NAC (N-acetylcysteine) is a form of cysteine with antioxidant properties. 5-HTP is a metabolite of tryptophan that participates in serotonin production. L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid that the body cannot produce on its own.
