Global Amino Acid market 2016-2020

About Amino Acid

Amino acids are organic compounds made up of amines (NH2) and carboxylic acid (COOH) functional groups. They act as building blocks of proteins and as metabolic intermediates. Amino acids are the core of all biological processes, as they are crucial for every metabolic process. Additionally, they aid in the development, repair, and maintenance of body tissues.
Even though the human body can produce some amino acids, it requires certain other essential amino acids that can only be obtained by consuming food rich in them. Amino acids such as lysine, methionine, and threonine are used as animal feed additives. Certain amino acids such as proline, glycine, and arginine are also used as ingredients in pharmaceutical products.
