Should you supplement amino acids?

Essential amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Your body cannot make them, and relies on food to get them. They regulate our mood, help combat stress, boost our immune system, and support muscle recovery. Super important!

Tryptophan and Tyrosine are two key amino acids you can get from chicken, turkey, cottage cheese, nuts and seeds, salmon, avocados, and bananas.

Should you supplement? If you are feeling stressed or anxious, crave sugar, have low energy and fatigue, you are probably deficient and should focus on having more protein at your meals. It is the easiest way to increase your essential amino acids. Scrambled eggs with cottage cheese and avocado is a perfect breakfast to boost your mood and energy, and ramp up your amino acid levels. Yum!
